Joe Biden is the only candidate fit to contest Trump in what is now a foreign policy election

Given that this election is likely to be dominated by foreign policy issues, the President that we need to succeed Trump is Joe Biden. The all other Democratic candidates have their virtues, but they are lacking foreign policy experience, expertise, and, most importantly, getting it right when it counts.

For Biden, foreign policy would not require on-the-job training. He played a central role in bringing about the Iran nuclear deal, assembling the multi-national coalition against ISIS, and worked to ratify the New START treaty with Russia. As a Senator, he quarterbacked legislative action to bring an end to the heinous genocidal wars in the Balkans during the 1990s.

Many of the former Vice President's critics posit that should he win the nomination, he will be swift-boated by Ukraine. But after two general election victories as Barack Obama's running mate, Joe Biden demonstrated that he knows how to punch back. Not only is there no proof that he did nothing wrong, but this is going to prove to be a trial by fire and make him a stronger candidate for the general election.

Donald Trump promised Americans that they would be winning so often they would get tired of it. While Trump is likely to win his trial in the Senate, we know that his reelection is a risky bet America cannot afford. Joe Biden is the best prepared candidate to build a better, stronger world order out of the wreckage this administration would leave behind.

5. That doesn't change the FACT that Biden has foreign policy experience and expertise that his rivals

lack.

Sniping at the messenger doesn't change facts.

World leaders tell Biden: We need you

10. I think Kerry's endorsement of Biden counts for more than anything Gates said.

6. Obama had no experience other than 2 years as Senator.

So, Warren, Booker, Klobuchar all have more than Obama did as well. He did OK.

8. And which senator did Obama choose as VP in part for his foreign policy experience?
