17. I don't see myself voting for Biden in a primary.

I do think he is uniquely qualified to repair one aspect of Trumps devastation. Biden knows the federal government structure extremely well and Trump has flat out decimated agency after agency. Biden will be able to see what needs to be done and restore order in these agencies. His experience will pay off in that area big time.
