More like just ONE democratic candidate... gee, guess who? InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #1

Actually, no. The moment Joe Biden announces, we will MineralMan Mar 2019 #2

So, why's Bernie bein bashed incessantly for EVERYTHING he's done, while other candidates are not? InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #3

Because he's running for President. And it's not "bashing." MineralMan Mar 2019 #4

OK, so long as we're usin the SAME standard for ALL candidates... fine, that's reasonable. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #7

He's not being "incessantly bashed" for things he's done, he's being vetted and criticized... George II Mar 2019 #11

I don't think age is a factor when it comes to Joe Biden. Like Bernie, he still's gotta lotta energy InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #62

I look forward to hearing Joe's explanation for all that. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #57

To the contrary MM... I'm AGREEING with you!! I even commend you for your position on vetting. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #32

And the next time I point out a stumbling block Bernie Sanders MineralMan Mar 2019 #38
