I certainly hope these GOP attacks aren't picked-up and repeated by his nomination rivals, and/or his (or her) supporters.

Oh, don't look at me that way... everyone knows that it's happened before (certainly in MY lifetime) and I just hope that it doesn't happen again.

It's certainly legitimate to point out differences to contrast and compare or to criticize policies and visions... but it's quite another to engage in what can accurately be described as a "scorched earth" philosophy that has the sole purpose of intentionally and permanently sabotaging one's rivals. That's a very Sarandonesque way of doing things, and I certainly hope that the lessons about that haven't been so easily and quickly forgotten.

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