If you're a Senator, you should be rewarded based on merit for service to our nation. Better than taking lobbyist money or succumbing to corruption in other ways. Bernie is a good man that cares about people, and he has a comfortable life. I'm OK with that.

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