We lost some great candidates because of the amount of money they had to spend to win little old Iowa. Now they spent all that money and the state party could not even get it right.

I hope all of them stay in until Super Tuesday. I don't want the NYT determining our candidate.

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