19. Even So It's Hard to Believe He Doesn't Feel He Owes His Supporters a Statement After Each Primary

This is the second set of primaries where he passes on making a statement. I think it's bad form and you'd think someone with influence would explain to him that optics matter and he should at least thank them for coming out to vote for him in challenging circumstances.

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