17. I think it goes to show who will exploit-for-political-profit, and who will simply empathize

I think it goes to show that even many an armchair wannabe-politician will exploit tragedy for political profit, while many others (more, I hope) will simply empathize, or even share, with the grieving.

The former have little more to offer the national dialog than bumper-stickers, and certainly warrant ignoring... passively if not actively.

Both Beto and Joe illustrated the measure of their worth this week. Many of us however, failed to.

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