that, regardless of how wonderful Joe is, it is time for a woman president! It is past time, in fact. I would hope that Joe would see this and throw his support wholeheartedly behind a woman candidate and would campaign his heart out for her.

We keep saying "It's time for a woman" and then get told "yeah, but on the other hand here's Joe!"

There are many women out there who will feel a certain deflation of enthusiasm if he runs. Of course, we will support him here in the Dem Party. But in our hearts, we have certainly not won what we so fervently wanted and what was taken from us in 2016: Madame President.

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