I think it's dreadful that any of the other candidates would attack Biden at this point.

They should speak up for him, support him against the orange monster instead of doing the very thing Warren accused him of doing.

Every one of them should keep that in mind, that we have one huge goal.
We must win, but lets not engage in this cult of personality like the opposition does.

We are in high danger every day with this man in office, as you all know.
Personally I always wanted Biden to be the nominee but will support the winner whomever they are, even if I dont personally like them.

We have so much to be grateful to
for Joe, his service to this country especially in his 8 years with President Obama
without going way back into history.
We all evolve...(mostly).

He is also beloved around the world, and would help so much to heal this wounded planet.
Maybe he could even become VP again, if all else fails.

I still dream of dream teams like Kamela and Joe, or Cory and Amy
Liz and Castro, etc, may a Stacey somewhere in there!

I hope that Beto finds a great post on whatever the new dem administration is!
IMHO

One more thing, I can never understand why we cant have medicare health as well as insurance by choice simultaneously, like the system in Australia ! Works perfectly well!

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