18. I agree. There were a number of bullshit attacks on candidates

Biden is a predator, Kobuchar is a verbal abuser, Booker is in Big Pharma's back pocket, Gabbard is a Russian asset, Buttagieg is uncomfortable around black people.

Every one of these is ridiculously off-mark. It's spaghetti thrown against the wall. I don't think any of these really last beyond the moment's need to tear the other down. But they frame the personality type debates that the shallow news consumer uses for first impressions.

I'm not a big fan of Bernie Sanders, but I have to give him props for running the kind of campaign that puts ideas out front.

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