34. The correct thing to do would've been to have kept his ass in Washington when it was being debated.

And now, if there are any hiccups, work within the Democratic caucus to ensure that those issues are appropriately resolved rather than flying in after most of the hard work is done and then proclaim that he, alone, is doing something about it. Bullshit. It's grandstanding, plain and simple. He alone can't do a goddamn thing about it. If he wants something done about it, he should get his ass off Twitter, get his ass off the internet, and consult with his Senate colleagues. Of course, if he were to do that, he'd probably find out that they were already working to address the problem(s) while he was out self-promoting.

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