34. Sanders has some divisive and problematic surrogates and spokespeople.

Rashid Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC have yet to learn that decorum is sometimes your friend. All three have caused themselves problems for thinking out loud. (Nina Turner and Briahna Joy Gray are not helpful in winning him votes either.)

Tlaib was wrong in several ways. First of all, Hillary has been a fine public servant. She was a hard working Senator and a great Secretary of State. She has always wanted to make this a better country. Her service should be honored not denigrated. Secondly, Tlaib has an obligation to behave in a manner that is respectful of other Democrats. Thirdly, she is a member of Congress. She should know better that to "Boo" and behave like a middle schooler.

She should issue an apology, not only to Hillary but also to Democrats and the voters of Iowa.

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