68. OK, I certainly agree that

what we currently have is awful, unacceptable and should be fought against in every way possible. Bad as any previous R Occupant of the WH (I REFUSE EVER to call the Orange Criminal-in-Chief President) has been, Trump is the WORST possible outcome.

All I'm saying is that we have some truly excellent Dem candidates in the primaries - none of whom is perfect - but who do not have the baggage that will certainly come back to bite Biden throughout his campaigning.

The primaries should give us all an opportunity to see how he handles himself when confronted with this baggage. And you can be sure that the mistakenly-labelled "liberal" media will pounce on any and all gaffes. They already are.

Joe was unquestionably an excellent VP with Prez O. But there are reasons why he was not a success when he ran for the Top Job in previous election cycles.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
