I was thinking the same thing! He would make an outstanding President, and since we have had Catholic and Black Presidents why not a Jewish President! He seems to have a lot of integrity and super smarts.

As are a lot of the current Jewish Congresspeople and Senators - Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, Dan Goldman, others past and present. Intelligent, articulate, honest, people of integrity. Any one of them would be a good President.

You get with Biden. If we can continue to offer this along with the kind of results Biden has been getting, we are going to win.

Contrast this to the wacko chaos and instability being offered by trump and his imitators.
