because to qualify one had to be flamboyant, to come with all those freebies idea that gained traction on "Social Media" without bothering to explain the details.

Granted, I did not follow Castro, but I thought that Booker and Harris could not find their footings. Harris was first for Medicare for all, then was not.

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