behaviors you support go directly to your own character and judgement. It'll be long days before I'd vote for someone who supported Sanders' attempt to try to overthrow our democratic choice of nominee. HUGE red danger flag about fitness for office in a democracy.

However, long days are just what she has. After a couple decades of scrupulously ethical and honorable behavior and a proven pattern of being strongly protective of our democracy, I'd consider trusting her with significant power. Right now as 1 of 435 representatives of the people, if she didn't shape up she'd do herself more harm in the house than anyone else, and if her district wants to keep while she continues to reveal what she's made of that's fine with me. Their choice.

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