I don't want to hear from ANY Democratic "leaders" about how wonderful Biden is [View all]

if they were among the growing gang of turncoats who were busy trying to throw him overboard.

And they're all lovey-dovey - NOW? And they all revere him so much - NOW? And how they're all on about how great a man he is and how they love him so much - NOW? All I'd say (IF I even felt like saying anything to them at all) is - "Oh YEAH??? Where were you 24-hours ago???

As a former Californian, I've always liked and admired Kamala Harris and thought she could handle just about any challenge imaginable, including the electoral kind. I'm glad she's our front-runner, and as a woman, I think it's about damn time! I'm happy to support her under any circumstances. But I DO NOT want to hear from ANYONE who only now talks up Joe Biden - because maybe they think it's safe to do so now. He was already great when they were busy falling all over themselves finding fault with him.

Sorry - just had to get that off my chest.
