I believe pretty much all of them could have beaten this fuck.

I really don’t see what sort of advantage Biden had that the others didn’t. He wasn’t the most charismatic or the most interesting. He’s a decent guy, but virtually all the others were good people too. And some of them had more substance to their campaigns than Biden ever did with his.

What drove the vote out was the hatred people have for the putrid asshole in the White House. It wasn’t really Biden himself.
