It wasn't his announcement, which was OK. It was the fact that he avoided answering pretty standard questions from the press. He simply ignored them and walked away. I regret having to say this, but that's Trumpian. I was sincerely surprised and disappointed. It's no way to run a Democratic campaign.

My take-away? Joe Biden is not the savior / Messiah that some have been waiting for. I'm sticking with Pete to the very end.
