My take on last night's debate [View all]

I get a very distinct impression that all Democratic candidates who run against Trump in the primaries will gain support, and those who run against Democratic candidates will lose out badly.

We should know this for certain very shortly.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
