7. First things first.

If Trump is the threat, then indict him, hold him for trial, get him convicted and get a judge to rule that he is forever ineligible for elected office. And frankly, with the demetia that Trump has exhibited, at four years younger than Biden, if someone should not be elected because of their age, it's him.

Now we can talk about Biden's age. I understand the risks. I won't vote for anyone but a Democrat, but I know there are people out there that run along different margins. We cannot have a Republican president with the extremism, anti-democracy fascism and craziness that they're involved in.

Who can we run, besides Biden, who can win? And realistically, at 82, will he be able to win?

I love our Vice-President. She is one of the most astute, intelligent, capable leaders in the Democratic party. But I haven't heard her name mentioned much in association with making a run at the Presidency. I have two personal preferences, Amy Klobuchar and Eric Swalwell. But I think the time and consideration needs to be given to Biden first. No question about it, he's earned it.
