I'd vote for him now, of course. But if he were 61 and not 81 he'd have so much more -- not energy or intelligence, he's got plenty of those -- time.

The Dems need his type of fire brand. They need it desperately to have a real shot at turning back the tide of over-the-top fascism the Republicans are selling to so many naive people.

Of course though, had he been nominated the banksters would've probably had him assassinated.

Or at the very least, they would've "made the economy scream" - so as to make governing next to impossible, and eventually defeat him for re-election.

Between all the greedflation, and the many stock market 'corrections' so far this year, Biden's definitely getting that treatment himself.

It's so much easier being a Repug president I suppose - though in the end, their own insanity gets the best of them (since Dubya anyway).
