Of the top dems running who else would you say is deep state oriented.
Biden is a deep state wannabee. Goes to all their meetings and volunteers ooh ooh can I go? But they mostly try to ignore him.
Klobuchar would join if she could. They might or might not need her.
Anyone else who wants to revive the Cold War. The wine and brie in Paris was good back then. Now CIA is under considerable more pressure to prevent terrorism. Back then they didn't have to do anything.
