so I am very grateful to Pete and Amy and the voters of South Carolina to help us see the way out of this mess.

Based on Pete's performance in Iowa in particular, you could see a strong strategic thinker looking how to take advantage of the caucus and win in spite of Sanders much deeper pockets and longer time on the playing field.

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