"Socialist"
"Socialism"
"Liberal Agenda"

These phrases and variants of them are going to be the entire backbone of the campaign.

"Radical Left Agenda"
"Nancy Pelosi and the out of touch Democrat Party"
"Angry Democrats not accepting 2016"

Does anyone expect to NOT see those terms in ads and on TV incessantly, regardless of the candidate?

I am voting for and supporting WHOEVER wins our nomination, period.
The GOP is going attack and say mainly the SAME thing about whomever that is, also period.

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