36. And her behavior is making me trust her less and less

Dec 2019

Her hypocritical attacks is just one more step in her very disturbing campaign. I was astounded that someone who was supposed to be a brilliant economist had to make up numbers and fantasy cost estimates to get her plans to add up. Then she continues to promise everything in the world with non-existent money (all the tax revenues will be needed to pay for her healthcare plans). I understand that her plan is to try and outlast Bernie and get the hard left voters, but I thought she was going to at least try and devise a reasonable path to getting things accomplished.

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