And it goes 18 months! It's ridiculous. Biden (and Hillary Clinton btw) persevered through all the travel, interviews, speeches, handshaking, talking to people one-on-one, dealing with the press, accusations from left and right, and didn't lose his shit. I'm "only" 71 and couldn't do it. He's got his faults but my god, he saved this country.
