Biden: "You will never hear me speak ill of another Democratic candidate" [View all]

“You will never hear me speak ill of another Democratic candidate, and there’s a really simple reason for that, we have to be in a position, whoever the nominee is, to be able to win."

Turns out when the going gets tough, it's just another promise as worthless as 'no Super PACS'.

Buttigieg is light on experience, sure, but there's difference between drawing contrasts and ridiculing the responsibilities of a small city mayor.

On Friday, when asked about Hunter, Pete stood up for decency. Today, the Biden campaign crawled into the muck with an effective ad worthy of the GOP.

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