Low Blow.

Personally, I'm glad he walked the position back though I'd not heard him defend the issue in the first place. For those who weren't going to go with Joe Biden, it's another talking point. For me? It means he's willing to listen and has a politician's savvy to choose his battles wisely. Keep Democrats together. Keep our eyes on the prize.

If I were to vote in a presidential

It wasn't hard, as Biden didn't have a choice... so that poor women CAN have a choice!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #71

There was a possibility he could have dug himself in deeper still_one Jun 2019 #88

Eating crow?? Highly doubtful... after touting the merits of Joe's principled approach InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #93
