He has nothing anyone would regard as substantive legislative achievement. He talks, and he preens on his commitment to principles, and that is about all. The show has grown old and very, very tired.

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

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