If I were to vote in a presidential

Joe Biden
To be honest, I did not hear him answer the question. pangaia Apr 2019 #1
You're correct. BS did not answer the question. He did a little jig instead... NurseJackie Apr 2019 #33
Hmmm...... George II Apr 2019 #81
He has lost the right to say the words "united" and "Democratic Party" in the same sentence. sarabelle Apr 2019 #49

You want trump to be truthful right? Well it starts with you. wasupaloopa Apr 2019 #86
Great answer!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #2
He didn;t answer the question. pangaia Apr 2019 #37
No. sheshe2 Apr 2019 #62

If you were booed for marching with Martin Luther King, you should be irritated. dogman Apr 2019 #17
He wasn't booed for marching with Martin... SidDithers Apr 2019 #19
That's exactly what happened, Bernie no sooner got the words out of his mouth and in Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #36
I believe the were reacting to what they perceived as "whitesplaining" LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #73
Dunno, seems like the audience wanted to know what Senator Sanders has done lately and plans to do emulatorloo Apr 2019 #78
Hmm sheshe2 Apr 2019 #84
Martin's disapproval rating in 1963 was 50% and 75% when he died, the U.S population in 1963 Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #85
And it doesn't? dogman Apr 2019 #38
It no doubt meant a lot in '63. The question now is has anything happened since 1963? emulatorloo Apr 2019 #80
+1, I bet what really means something is that the audience knows R B Garr Apr 2019 #58
Sanders will have a hard time winning the support of African American voters by wagging his finger Gothmog Apr 2019 #45

You mean the same crime bill that sanders voted for? Gothmog Apr 2019 #50
He raised his finger to vote for them...nt SidDithers Apr 2019 #65
He also raised his hand to vote FOR that bill. You're criticizing someone for writing a bill.... George II Apr 2019 #77

I thought it was a great answer floppyboo Apr 2019 #7
Precisely!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #12
Right and this is why Sanders is at the bottom of my list for the primary. Without social justice Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #20
A $15 minimum wage is great, KitSileya Apr 2019 #23
Exactly right...without social justice, economic justice is meaningless. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #24

I have seen him campaign for Mello...say economic policies trump social justice...I will watch it. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #34
And that $15 minimum wage will be great, but meaningless to parents who are unfairly jailed InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #53
If that is a thinly veiled dig at Senator Harris' truancy law KitSileya Apr 2019 #59
Thank you, Kit. sheshe2 Apr 2019 #64
Indeed..... George II Apr 2019 #74
Yeah, but it's okay to write unfair crime bills that disproportionately affect minorities...riiight! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #51
BS voted for the 1994 Crime Bill. lapucelle Apr 2019 #68
Yes, was disappointed in Bernie for that vote... but, the guy who wrote the Crime Bill should take InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #72
BS voted for the Crime Bill and against the Brady Bill several times, lapucelle Apr 2019 #79
Why would anyone support that? You may want to ask Senator Sanders, who voted for that bill. George II Apr 2019 #75
