Did have to laugh though that Joe thinks he can run as the most progressive candidate... that should make for some fun debate when other candidates bring up his past voting record. That's why I brought up the "evolved" thing... and, you're right, what you said about the "non-apology apology." Better that Joe defend his record and simply admit where he stands politically. He's certainly NOT the most progressive candidate running... I mean candidate who WOULD run.

Welcome to the revolution!!!

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

Not sure why he might be concerned about declaring a VP choice so early... InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #7

To me, it's a bit premature to be naming a VP running mate so early on ... yep, a bit gimmicky. RKP5637 Mar 2019 #9

Exactly... Joe seems healthy enough, but it could raise questions. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #10
