You know what I miss?

I miss primary seasons when the moderate/progressive battle was actually between Democrats and we didn't have to bother with interlopers.

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

Why? You tell me.

6. He got bit by that bug

After many years representing a small state, he got some national exposure and found he could draw large crowds. I think all the adulation went to his head, which I think would be true of almost anyone. Once bit, I don't think a person can shake it off.

It would be more accurate to say, "Take it up with the candidates" - you know, like voting at the polls.

Those whose voters aren't that numerous will be eliminated that way.

Or else the nomination is going to Sanders or Bloomberg, the interlopers.
