I think our message should not be limited to "Trump is an insane, unintelligent corrupt freak"

The Orange US answer to Idi Amin squeaked past that truth in 2016.

Hope was a better message in 2008 than "McCain is a bad guy."

I trust Biden knows that.

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