What disqualified him with me was his pledge no attacks on fellow Democrats. I have a major problem with man that's speaks with forked tongue.

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
Yep. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #95
Most pre-Iowa polls had Buttigieg around 12. After Iowa, his numbers doubled. That's huge. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #96
