Biden has attacked Warren, calling her condescending, angry and unyielding, and Klobuchar has attacked both Warren (plans/pipedreams) and Buttigieg (experience). Buttigieg responded to Warren's wine cave attack by attacking Warren on hypocrisy.

The primary process is mild compared to the general election. Any candidate who can't make it through the rough-and-tumble process isn't ready for prime time, and the sooner we find that out the better.

Sharp elbows and thick skin have always been needed, and that's not going to change.

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Disagree on policy and proposals, but we need to be looking forward and not to the past or attacking the other democratic candidates.
