Biden was my first choice as POTUS from the beninning.

29. He wasn't my first choice or my fifth choice

but, he's been surprisingly good on nearly everything.

I like that he made the hard choice because it was the right thing to do.

It was always going to be bad. It was always going to be ugly.

He did what he could and then, like a good, honest man, he took responsibility even though he wasn't the one who cut the terrible deal.

He wasn't the one who released a bunch of hardened Taliban fighters and leaders.

He was the guy who stuck to a deal that was already made instead of backing out of it and ending up with an even bigger problem.

However it went down, the media was going to spin it against him, because that's what they do, they loved that orange man because he was a bull in a china shop, just wrecking everything for his own amusement. Biden is not him.

As I said, he wasn't my first choice, not my fifth, but he was the right guy for this moment in history.

And, he's stepping up and being the guy we need him to be.

This wasn't a mistake, it was doing the best he could with the information and the deal he had.
