a lot of good will. In Biden’s case, that good will has been well earned. He has shown the mettle of his character many times, in the worst of times.
I think he’d be good for the country, especially now when divisiveness and incivility set the tone in domestic politics; most important, when we and our allies face such strong threats from Russia and North Korea.
Although I’d like to see someone of Biden’s stature and experience lead on the world stage, I feel there are other candidates with the intellect and will to restore sanity to our foreign policy and to guide us through the dangers ahead.
Given the Dem roster this election cycle, it’s possible to not only vanquish Trump, but to herald a better day for the world.
Go Dems.

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