He was right not to run in 2012. He sat it out because he knew primarying Obama could have caused a gop victory. That would have been a disaster.

In 2016, he had every right to run. He didnt primary a democrat nor did he run 3rd party.

However, I don't think he supported Hillary strong enough after she became our nominee. We were a party divided and he should have EMPHATICALLY did more to get his folks to vote for her.

I believe he will do a better job supporting the nominee this time if he loses. I'm ready for the primaries to be over so we can unite and focus on beating shitstain.

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