....will fix it.

The question remains, why did she and Johnson just vote "Present" when 226 Democrats all voted "Aye" and NONE voted "No". I don't want to hear that old refrain (not from you, others) that certain Representatives and Senators "always" vote with the Democrats, and I hope they don't say this wasn't an important vote.

And then, of course, there's that bill to sanction Turkey - Democrats voted 226 "Aye" and only one "No". I'd like to see the rationale behind that one No vote.

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