I love listening to her. On the fly she can verbally put together parsable sentences with about sixty words, three sub-clauses, and a parenthetical–with zingers. I almost feel sorry for Pence if he has to debate her. He would be obliterated.

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