25. She's weakened herself with this. Too bad as she was doing well with the plans for everything.

She should've submitted, as you said, a transition plan for MFA first.

This IMO is her first major screw-up. She had a minor one during the first debate when she raised her hand to agree Americans won't be able to keep their healthcare plan even if they want to under MFA.

That misstep was correctable, going all-in on MFA for her campaign and the DEM platform is not.

You do that once you're elected.

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