One more trait that I like of Biden: he says what he wants to say and then stops [View all]

He was on Nicole Wallace earlier - I am sure there are many posts here. She asked him a question, he answered, did not try to hog the mic and then stopped. Same during the debates. Except for the last one - not the one on one with Sanders - when he did complain about his allotment, but in all the previous ones. All the candidates were talking over one another, always beyond the time allowed. He never did.

As a matter of fact, I remember in 2008, there was a debate. He was asked something replied in one syllable, I think, and the moderator was waiting for more and Biden just smiled.

And there is Sanders. It really irks me that the the non-Fox media think that Sanders deserves equal time. He does not. If he'd done the, yes, patriotic thing, he would drop out. But, nooo he is equal to Biden so they give him time.

We watched the PBS NewsHour. Waiting for the Senate vote, I think. John Thume was interviewed and Sanders could be seen in the back, kinda hiding until, yes, his turn came.

By then we had dinner and did not bother to listen to what he had to say.

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