really bad timing on both Sanders and Warrens part...they should have supported the ACA and said they wanted to move toward M4A...this gives the right wing court almost permission to find against it...people will die if this happens...both have been in the Senate long enough to know better. If they think if the ACA falls, we get M4A...no we don't. We get nothing.

Not much, but a little more than my usual $10 to certain candidates every now and then depending on how I view their performance.

I also think his performance tonight solidified my vote for him in the upcoming early state primary. I mainly want to make sure Sanders isn't the nominee and was wavering a bit as to who to vote for since it is all very much up in the air as to who will emerge from the Biden/Bloomberg/Buttigieg/Klobuchar lane, but I feel that no matter what happens, I will never regret voting for Biden. He is a good man and would make a fine president.

On the flip side, I have cast two votes in Democratic presidential primaries in my life and they both eventually went on to lose the nomination, so, my vote might just be a kiss of death.

And he has the creds to back it up. No one else has the foreign policy experience he has. We need that to get back the respect trump has stomped around the world.
