...pundits talking this morning about Biden. They said his past is a problem and will come back to haunt. For instance:

>His opposition to busing in the days when school segregation was still how it was done. He teamed up with Strom Thurmond ( a notorious segregationist) of all people---to oppose busing.

>His treatment of Anita Hill, especially as it appears today with Me Too awareness. Can you imagine the TV clips they'll show about this? He was really awful to her.

>Stuff he did to help Banksters get away with millions and no jail time after the financial collapse of 2008. But I was only half listening and didn't get the details.

Of course I'll vote for any Democrat over all Repugs but I do think this guy's time is past. I think the party has moved on and has had to move on because the Republican party is now so extreme, non-tradional and dangerous. The old ways of oppposing aren't strong enough.

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