He is usually so thoughtful in what he says. It sounds like his guard was down with his "pocket change" bit. Now they all have to live with it.

While I don't have a problem with large donors and traditional fundraising activities -- we need all of the resources we can get for the general election -- the issue does create a point of differentiation between Warren and some of the other candidates. It is fair game to point that out.

And, I'm interested to hear how Buttigieg and the others position themselves if a fundraising question arises.

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