I am really disappointed in him. Sure, we all know that at some point we will need a new candidate, a young one, but who?
The reality is that the Democratic leadership, some blame it on Obama, did not dedicate resources to promote young candidate.
Did not travel the country encouraging county commissioners, state executives to look into higher office.
Biden was the only one, in 2020, who assured us the presidency. None of the others would have won. And, yes, I supported Klobuchar to the end.
We had four governors - normally the pool for candidates - who barely made a dent. Why? because the debate stage was opened to the ones who made a splash on social media, like offering freebies. Oh, we had the guru who was talking about love and who promoted her book. She made it to several debates but Hickenlooper, Inslee, Bullock and Patrick barely made a dent?
