She seemed to phone this debate in. Her responses were even more robotic and less credible than usual. It was like watching a detached actor deliver their lines. I thought to myself, "I wonder if that threat to boycott the debate was just because she didn't really want to be there?" in which case, why are you running to begin with? Just drop out.

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