We didn't know much about her when she ran for AG and Senate in CA, other than her amazing background, but now that she's burned through that in a failed take-down of Joe that leaves her actual accomplishments of which she gave us a taste on Thursday. In other words, she showed us who she is and I don't think a majority of actual primary voters are going to like it.

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