He's pretty much toast for me going in. He makes big noise about supporting our vets but refuses the call to run for the senate in a time of national crisis. Shipping out to the U.S. Senate for a 6-year term of service to our nation is too much of a sacrifice.

“I have great respect for the senators, but this is something that never really got me excited.”


"Excited." Uhuh. If our Stacey Abrams was running for president, I'd tell her to go take a quick jump off a tall cliff also. Expect to calm down and vote for her for governor in 2023, assuming that's possible. The entire nation just might be doing them Georgia style by then.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
