28. You know it must be hard.. to not see yourself as knowing more than anyone else

Jun 2019

because these people do have access to people in power.. and they sit in circles and talk among themselves reinforcing their own views.. I probably would feel the same way.. and when VP Bidens numbers did not fall down a hole, they have been chewing on that ever since.. and every flub he makes, (and this is no saint, he makes gaffes and flubs, they all do).. but they are laser focused on VP Biden because they have their pride so to speak on the line.. just an observation from the farm fields of Iowa

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

Biden has faced the same attacks since...he got in the race...they wrote him off numerous times. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #16
Biden is resilient.. always Cha Jun 2019 #19
I think so...and the Harris thing was contrived with t shirts and picture ready to go...left a bad Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #25
I think it's bad that the words "little girl" are part R B Garr Jun 2019 #30
Mayor Brown taught her that Gringoguapisimo Jun 2019 #49

I agree...they basically helped Trump win in 16 and if Biden goes ...he wins again. We have to hope Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #110

Bottoms' endorsement doesn't surprise me at all. She gets it and did not misconstrue Joe's words onetexan Jun 2019 #35
You and I have a different opinion RT Atlanta Jun 2019 #37
