Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Biden burns Mayor Pete: "I've gotten more than 8,600 votes in my life."
I think Biden was talking about votes in a winning election here.

(149,611 posts)1. I respect Joe, but this was unworthy of him.
He's had many elections, of course, and of course, he's had many more votes than Pete.
It's a dumb thing to say and it does not help him at all.

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

and his elections were a lot bigger. That's all.

On a bomb squad detail it's best to let the "bright" rookies participate at a safe distance while the veterans do the defusing.
