The so-called squad has already become the punching bag of the Republicans. I guess they're looking to get a few more jabs from the Democrats as well. I really pray to every entity from heaven to hell that Sanders does not have to be the person I pull the lever for in November. No, that's not endorsement. I'd actually vote for a circus clown over Trump so yeah, I'll vote for Bernie, but I'm going to throw up in my mouth while in the voting booth.

Hillary may be taking a few shots at Bernie, and those jabs may be deserved if poorly timed, but while her timing may be bad, she has a LOT of fans even now (including me). By reacting to her, the Sanders surrogates are only going to cost Bernie even more Hillary fans than Hillary might be costing him. Not smart.

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