12. When Amy was in low single digits

attacking her would have been useless, and would have made the attacking candidate/campaign look like bullies. There was nothing to be gained by leaking stories about her that could be traced back to a particular campaign.

It didn't work so well for Pete when he got into a tussle with her about "Washington experience versus small-town mayor experience." She really nicked him on that in the last debate when she spoke passionately about doing the hard work of dealing with the impeachment process, tied down to the Senate chamber instead of stumping around Iowa.

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