...and she still is. Klobuchar, Bennet, Harris, Castro are all winners for me. But they have been ignored on the debate stage. It has irked me considerably for the top 3 to always be center stage, to always get way more time to speak than the others. Therefore, there has been less for the media to discuss about them. Therefore, they are still down in the polls. Not fair.

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