Everybody criticizes @JoeBiden& #39;s campaign. The critics, including at times me, all have something in common: we initially backed a candidate who lost the primary to @JoeBiden.

Sweeping primary victories in state after state, a ten point lead on @realDonaldTrump in the polls. This is what a winning campaign looks like. A big problem with the resistance is everybody wants to be the hero, and all this whining about "it& #39;s not going how it should have;
