38. +1. HRC was the first female nominee of a major party

who faced 25 years of sexist anti-Clinton attacks - precisely because, from the very beginning, it was clear she was brilliant and could be the first female president.

Biden and Hillary are basically the same ideologically, yet he's doing far better amongst white working class voters in 2020 than she did in 2016, largely (imo) due to sexism.

She was a far better candidate than either Biden or Bernie was, far better at the debates, crisper/clearer speaker who could articulate her policies in depth.

I saw her on with Fareed Zakaria recently - she's better than any candidate we have this time.

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