I got pummeled early on when I suggested Biden would torch the field once we got to SC.

He's the only candidate who gets support from all of the parties demographic groups.

IA and NH, mostly white states, have no business whittling down the group of candidates.

It should be states whose demographics represent the country as a whole....period.

I don't understand why "tradition" trumps demographics.

For all we know Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Klobuchar, or Warren might have caught fire if the first couple states matched US demographics.

We've got to get rid of these structural problems that favor old white guys.

And I'm an old white guy!

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