22. Agree. He also mentioned what he referred to as "forced busing"

that same night of the next day. He opened the door. My belief is the "forced busing" comment is going to ultimately erode his African American support unless he comes out with a forceful statement about how he was wrong then. Without AA, it becomes a street fight between him, Warren and Harris, a fight that I think the Senators are better equipped to win.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
