3. I don't care about any negative information about any candidate.

I don't care if they say things DU doesn't like, I don't care if one candidate attacks another, I don't care if coordinated hit jobs of any type are blasted over the media, I don't care if DU thinks they are blowing up the party, I don't care if a candidate is too young, too old, too black or too white, too gay or too straight.

I care about one thing. I imagine those same attacks coming out of Trump's mouth, loudly and repeatedly. And then I care about how the candidate responds. I want a candidate who will deflect the attack, shut it down and turn it around to make something good of it.

By this measure, Pete scores best. This attack is least likely to hurt him in the general election, least likely to be used by Trump, and Pete also has the best responses to negative information. He makes the best velvet-fisted attacks on twitter.

Myself, I try not to say bad things about Hillary or any candidate. But this really isn't about Hillary. The candidates can say whatever they want, as long as it works.

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