Watching him over the course of half an hour at his various rallies is, shall we say, instructive.

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

He is an extremely likable and kind person, and there is no doubt that he could easily beat Trump... but, yeah.

I don't care how much she'd prefer a female candidate. It plays right into the GOP's hands to suggest Biden is "creepy."

It's also stupid of her to tell people NOT to be concerned about electability.. (Of course, that's always a sure sign that your preferred candidate(s) are losing in the polls.)

And it's a flat-out lie when she says "the media have already decided" that Biden is the most electable. It isn't a media decision -- it's a reaction to the polls, which are based on voters' choices.

As a woman who supported HRC and who'd have one of the female 2020 candidates as my preference if I thought any of them were better candidates than Biden, I found this rant of Sam's very off-putting.

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