62. Wishful thinking? I'm FOR Biden.

But gotta be real...I'm a Packer fan, I know what watching my preferred competitor get (his) ass handed to him looks like. Biden got his ass handed to him. There's no other way to see this, in my opinion.

Also, I am not saying Harris won the nomination tonight, but I do think Biden lost it. He looked old, out of touch, and lost.

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

Biggest loser tonight was Bernie... [View all] Drunken Irishman Jun 2019 OP

I wonder why no one mentioned last night that in 1974 he was against school busing. George II Jun 2019 #124
George. One of the sad realities is forced busing was more of an issue in the north. Blue_true Jun 2019 #127
I wish I could remember the question, but he was asked something totally unrelated.... George II Jun 2019 #110
When he was asked what he would do if Roe v. Wade was gone, he talked about Medicare for All. betsuni Jun 2019 #120
That was it. It was an irrelevant answer to the question, zooming right back to his talking points. George II Jun 2019 #122
As always. betsuni Jun 2019 #123

Warren emerged from the other debate. I think she likely is the one to watch. Blue_true Jun 2019 #75
