49. I thought Biden's comments were focused on Mayor Pete's lack of experience.

As an African American woman, I see Mayor Pete running for president as THE poster child for Jim Crow. No. He's not a racist. He's smart, great with the king's English but he's not qualified. He has never won a statewide race. So you have to ask why do white folks have such high standards when it comes to black people and such low standards when it comes to people who look like them? What are they really voting for?

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

The only polls that aren't from well before the IA Caucus are the SC and NC ones. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #94
