188. Quite a contrast from the reaction from Kamala Harris.

Mar 2019

I loved that Kamala was optimistic and positive. I've never seen her behave in a grumpy or sour way... that's one of the things that I like about her.

She's always very professional. From the top of her HAIR right down to the bottom of her SHOES, she's always looking her best and being her best, in both word and deed.

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