82. She overplayed her hand

I don't have an issue in the least with her level of preparation, I applaud that totally...the debate Thursday showed her level of preparation and seriousness even without the jab at Biden.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Of course she planned it. So what. pangaia Jun 2019 #1
