Just because someone issues a negative press release doesn't mean we DU'ers have to promote it. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #7

Do you think Biden's comments should just be ignored? melman Jun 2019 #10

Of course not. Not sure a press release is the definitive source though. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #12

As I told you last time melman Jun 2019 #15

Booker is politically motivated, he's competing with Biden for the same moderate voters. nt mr_liberal Jun 2019 #33

Okay Cory. ucrdem Jun 2019 #8

Good statement from Booker. I still have Biden higher on my list. NT SouthernProgressive Jun 2019 #9
