Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: 'Barack picked him for a reason': South Carolina voters stand by Joe Biden after comments [View all]Kind of Blue
(8,709 posts)13. I have no argument with that but am not willing to concede so early
that Biden is the best we have to move the populace to oust 45. I'm willing to keep an open mind during this process, believe it or not I know what is at stake, and I choke up hoping against hope that you're right. No doubt whatever problem I have with Biden will be pushed aside to stop any counter against him if he is our candidate. But until then I want to see this 3X losing presidential contender strengthen his position quickly along the way in this season. And I hope you and other DUers will challenge we who have no faith in him now as I/we will challenge those who do.

primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
