We can discuss those constructively in February. Whatever those may be, Joe Biden is a good man, and he will pick a good woman as his running mate. But even if he stuck a pin into a phone book and thereby picked someone with less than sterling credentials for VP, our impending Democratic ticket has my absolute full support.

Agreed, not one negative word about our ticket before Trump is ousted. But knowing Biden and who he is considering, I expect to offer plenty of praise.
