7. I've seen Bernie Sanders angry at least 10 times for every time that I've seen Joe Biden angry.

Joe Biden only has to remember two words: Representative Democracy

The way that Joe Biden was able to spend six terms in the Senate is that he was constantly checking with his regular voters and with Delaware leaders to find out what his constituents thought about each issue, and he voted in Congress accordingly. In other words, he represented his constituents. He voted in a way that represented the majority of his constituents. The only way for Democrats to get anything done is to be part of the majority, and the only way to be part of the majority is to win your districts and your states. The only way to do that with any consistency is to represent your constituents by voting along with the majority.

The majority of Biden's constituents as a Senator supported pretty nearly every one of his Senate votes, and the majority of Americans pretty much supported every one of the bills that Obama got passed. Joe was successful because he represented the people of Delaware, and then the people of America.

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