that Liz Warren had already made appointments to choose drapes for the Oval Office. Those of us who are Biden supporters know he's no sure thing, but the media-driven narrative and many Warren supporters act as though she's on the verge of sewing this up.

That's simply not the case. Any two-point bump for Warren is treated like a "surge," yet Joe is breaking even in states that should play to Warren's demographic strengths and he's led literally every national poll save one outlier since entering the race.

Also, I'm not a Bernie fan, but if you look at the national polls, Warren and Sanders actually switch positions quite often, yet Sanders is somehow in a death spiral while Warren is inevitable.

That's the power of media with agendas other than informing the public and holding our leaders accountable.

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