15. Maybe. Or maybe not. Lets wait and see where we are in a couple of years.

Oct 2017

A LOT can happen between now and then. Will Trump be in office, or will we be stuck running against creepy Mike Pence? Will people be in the mood for a steady, experienced old hand, or will they want someone new? We just don’t know, and fortunately we don’t have to decide right now, or any time before the mid-terms (which often shed light on the direction of the electorate).

But I promise you this: if Biden fits the bill and is feeling up to it, I’d be behind him 100%. Same goes for Hillary (who has earned the right to change her mind anytime).
