"Biden has so much love and respect for the country that he would not run if he truly believed he wasn’t fit for office or the campaign."

For Joe, this is not about ego or politics. He was done with politics after serving as Vice President and had settled into a post political life. He came back not to prove anything, but to serve, because first and foremost that is who he is.

Well, there may be an itsy-bitsy bit of ego at play, but not enough to overshadow his integrity and character. This is a good man who has been treated poorly by the mainstream media for decades and they are still at it.
