...this read like a right-wing hit-piece to me...

...when you do find a 'perfect' candidate let me know...and don't say Joe

...for it's not about Bernie or Joe...it's about US and where WE want to go...

...we're on this great big bus called The American Future...where do you want it to take US?

...do you want to go down the Biden Highway?...then put Joe in the driver's seat...

…do you want to go down the Sanders Highway?...then put Bernie in the driver's seat...

...I want to travel with Bernie down the Sanders Highway, it's a much better road...

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