Haggis for Breakfast

9. I've been following Cory Booker since he ran into that burning building to save a woman.

In 2012, when he was the mayor of Newark, an apartment building near him was ablaze and the FD had about given up on rescue. He knew that woman was still in her apartment. After arguing with them, he ran in there and carried her out. Now that is COURAGE.

Plus I believe his message is VITAL, given the current climate of hate/anger/arrogance. He's smart, has good ideas, plays well with others, isn't interested in self-aggrandizing. He's more interested in bringing people together instead of putting people down.

I could go on . . . . and on.

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