There are so many issues and extremely complicated hypotheticals.

There are absolutely dangerous precedents being set by how DeWine carried this out. So if you think you're referring to me when you say "I'm embarrassed that some don't see the dangerous precedent this is setting," then you're misunderstanding me.

I'm talking about the knee-jerk reactions from many Democrats that this is somehow a plot by Republican governors to create discord in our party. At worst it's an impetuous decision made without considering worse scenarios.

It reminds me of many of Bernie's supporters insisting the DNC is out to get him because... someone wanted to use chairs in the debate? Or something? There's legitimate concerns about disenfranchisement, and then there's paranoid lunacy.

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