64. Well, Nancy Didn't Cover

herself in glory here, either. I have been a huge Biden fan for decades, but I feel he should not have run. I wondered early on if anybody had the guts to have a straight talk with him. Apparently not, because that came way too late. There should have been a full out primary minus Biden. Including Harris if she wanted a shot. The election was very close, which incidentally was reflected in most of the polls nobody wanted to believe. Had Dems had a candidate that they picked it could have made up the difference.

Yes, I voted for Harris, I thought she probably would have been a fine president. But I never thought she could win, if for no other reason than she is a female. Hilary, in my opinion, was a much better candidate than Harris or Trump, but she couldn't win either.
