44. Biden won't win primary

Wed Apr 24, 2019, 12:22 PM

and that vote alone would sink him in the general election. It was the biggest mistake that he and Hillary did in their entire careers.
Had they both voted and advocated strongly against that war, it would have influenced many others to do the same and we would have not destroyed countless lives and drained our budget. There is no apology for that. It is impossible. Never forget that Democrats controlled the senate in 2002, the year that war was authorized.

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