Attorney in Texas

5. Who's "image" are you referring to? I act as a spokesperson for no candidate.

I want the most progressive candidate to win the primary and to win the general election.

I'm supporting Sanders now, but I may well be supporting Clinton in the general election.

So whose "image" is besmirched by reminding people who do not recall that Biden's stellar performance as VP does not erase the fact that he is a poor performer on the campaign trial? I didn't make this up -- I gave you a chart showing that data supports this conclusion.

Whose "image" is helped or hurt by reminding people that Biden is a very nice guy who has previously found himself on the wrong side of several critical issues (for example, consumer bankruptcy protections being a key area where he made the law significantly worse for working people and considerable tilted in favor of his top corporate financial contributor -- he didn't just vote for this bill, he made the bill biased in this fashion). I didn't make this up either -- Biden's votes on all of the issues I mentioned are public knowledge.

Whose "image" are you worried about?
