If youre going to be mute or live in a vacuum. everything you just laid out, including an endorsement by the fraternal order of police, i believe, shows she has a breadth of experience. a supreme court justices job is not to adorn a robe and comb through the constitution. that is part of what they will do. they will also bring in the knowledge that they have to create and set precedent, respect it and also move forward in the world so that the supreme court and what they rule can be respected. i...

Whos more diverse or a woman and theyre worried about some of stuff in his policy background. the donors and, you know, the party establishment, they are pretty excited by joe biden. they see him as a fighter who will bring the experience necessary to, if he wins against trump or if he runs and wins, that he can rebuild the country a little bit because he has served so much in the government because the country will need some kind of, you know, reform efforts after president trump leaves office....
