Today is the first light of Hanukkah. We're not Jewish, but my daughter wants to light a menorah this year in solidarity with all her Jewish friends. Would this be offensive to Jews, to light a menorah when not Jewish?

A lot of women I know are Warren supporters. I'm hearing today that several mailed their WA ballots today, for Biden. Do they feel a bit sad? Yes, they do. But do they want to beat Trump in Nov? YES, THEY DO. #ComeHomeToJoe .

This is not about who is the best candidate. The reality is, Warren won't be on the GE ballot, and voting for her now helps Sanders, who will lose everything if he is our nominee. Biden has the best chance to beat Sanders. He needs to go into the convention strong.
