6. Although I didn't really have an endorsement until the primaries were just about done

My prediction was Biden since December of 2019.

When my first choice, Jay Inslee, dropped out, the only thing I really hoped for was that none of the Senators who jumped on the bandwagon to "get" Al Franken would come close to getting the nomination. Not only did I predict that, but with several of them in the race, it looked possible, and increasingly probable, to me that even polling in single digits initially, Biden would eventually outpoll them all, and emerge as the obvious choice with the least baggage. The more the Republicans dug for dirt, the more frustrated the became when none was to be found.

I didn't know at the time if any baggage would turn up, but it was obvious the Republicans were terrified him. That became blatantly obvious when Tara Reade "came forward," with a story full of more holes than a kilo of Swiss cheese, financed by guess who. She was just as quickly "de-financed" when the scam fell flat. Sorry, Roger Stone, no shame on me, and you didn't fool me twice. Joe Biden was our Bre'r Rabbit, and you tossed him right into the briar patch. Joe Biden wasn't "sleepy" at all. Like the image of the wise old Tribal chief, he sat patiently, with his eyes half open, quietly taking everything in, and making his plans, ALL of which had both substance and success.
