Yet Kamala Harris did not sound as if she'd anticipated the incoming criticism on her own past. Anymore than Cory Booker sounded as if he believed his attacks wouldn't/shouldn't inspire critiques on his own history and missteps. Again, I couldn't watch the debate but Booker sounded genuinely aggrieved when Biden mentioned Booker's Newark history, not all of it good.

The personal sniping really needs to end if we expect to win 2020.

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