1. I've heard before about them not wanting to go negative

While this is admirable, by allowing to occur, and doing it themselves, they have demonstrated the inability to make big, bold decisions. Going negative is the lower energy, lower class way to go, and demonstrates that they made poor personnel decisions, and are not able to readjust effectively under changing conditions. This all fits in the category of poor leadership qualities. While Sanders has many good policy ideas, in the end, it was his demonstrated poor leadership skills that led me to other candidates.

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