Some clips of Joe Biden through the years
I don't know what the near future holds for President Biden and the nomination. I'm on record here as wanting an open discussion about the future, based on what I think are facts, but I'm afraid that sometimes may come off as being against Biden. But, like everyone who wants him to be the nominee, and, yes, everyone who wants someone else, we all have a deep admiration for him, his lifetime in public service, and what he's accomplished during his presidency.
It's sad and heartbreaking what age does to all of us-- our grandparents, our parents, and eventually, us. Of course, even an older Joe Biden is incomparably better than Trump. I hope this argument about the nomination is resolved soon. But in the meantime, let's enjoy some of Biden's speech and debate highlights-- his wit, his empathy, his policy knowledge, and his optimism.
