71. Yes, CNN went for ratings, you are correct about the cat fight and all, but Booker, fell for it.

Jake Tapper has become part of the Chuck Todd idiots club now.

If anyone wants to challenge me about Booker not falling for it. The one time Booker got into it was when Biden attacked him so he went "There's a saying in my community," Booker told Joe Biden while responding to the former vice president's criticism of his crime-fighting record as mayor of Newark, N.J., “You’re dipping into the Kool-Aid and you don’t even know the flavor.”

Also when he told Biden, and rightly so, that he cannot associate with Obama only when it is convenient. When Biden was challenged about Obama's immigration policies he passed the ball to Obama and tried to disassociate himself from the stuff that was not convenient to him. You have to take the good and the bad, you cannot be selective.

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