Wish it was Joe & not Bernie streaming a compelling Corona Virus Round table right now but its not. [View all]

What a missed real time opportunity to comfort to a lot of scared Americans and demonsrate leadership. This is the kind of confounding stuff that gives this ex-Warren supporter great pause about Joe. I'm voting for him. But come on, tweets are not enough at this unprecedented moment. Hate him or not. Spoiler or not. Just like Bernie said, he is winning the battle of ideas but not electability. It will be a long summer.

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