I was previously very positive toward Cory Booker. Given his constant Biden attacks, not so much. [View all]

Yes, it is rough and tumble primary season and we expect some attacks, but IMO, his are absolutely not on track (I won't say unfair, because some will attack me for that, but, nonetheless, ineffectual, inaccurate, and will not help him)...

I am actually dreading the next debate (or at least night 2) if this is all we are going to get. I can just feel our chances against Trump, regardless of the candidate, weakening.

It surely isn't helping MY stress level.

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