That local state legislator was right.

I'm not all that excited about Biden, but I loathe Trump. We've got to get him out of office, and Biden will at least begin moving us in the right direction.

I'm still rooting for Warren - liked her from day 1. But she has little chance now.

And I think Bernie is heading for defeat. While I like his platform lots better than Biden's, we cannot allow this to divide us. Bernie could still win, but if Biden is the one who does let's all get behind him.

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