11. It Was Indeed A Harsh Primary Contest, Sir

Mar 2020

I was a moderator here then, and seem to recall the contest was called here somewhat in advance of the convention, even of the final primaries. I acknowledge it was a while back, and my recollection may be too hazy to be worth much. The longer this sort of wrangle goes on, the more embittered both sides become, and the more sweeping the purge that ensues....

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