12. Think about this. Joe Biden will beat Trump (again)

WITHOUT EVEN RUNNING.

And just like Obama, his understudy took the leading role at a crucial time.

Joe DID take a beating, but in a way, he was and is way bigger than any of the detractors.

And how did it work out?

Trump and friends spent so much time, money, and energy (OK, hate) vilifying and demonizing Joe Biden that in a crazy way, Kamala Harris is "none of the above".

Everyone who bashed Joe Biden from the left failed to propose an alternative and on the right, they thought he would be as intransigent as themselves and set themselves up like bowling pins for the most brilliant political maneuver in ages.

Not only does Joe deserve a reward for all he's done and all he's been through, he deserves to see his work continued and expanded, like a master teacher with world-class students.
