From this day forward I pledge not to attack another candidate subtly or directly.

We are in a battle with a corrupt and despotic leader who would put all of us in the barrel if he could. All of our candidates would be a better president than the maniac who current occupies the White House.


Carry on...

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

The only attacks I made on some candidates was my characterization of poll results. I can't do that anymore.

Not attacking someone does them, and the eventual nominee, no favors. The candidate needs to be tested. If you just play two hand touch all summer, you're going to lose when the game is tackle in the fall.
