14. Don't buy into Trump's "Sleepy Joe" tagline.

Biden is a classically trained, old school statesman, a true gentleman who wears his dignity and gravitas like the innate professional he is.

When people started thinking the President of the US needs to act like a rockstar high on drugs du jour, or look like a Hollywood superhero in spandex and a muscle suit, we ended up with Trump.

If you want to be entertained go buy a ticket to the latest movie blockbuster or a concert. Politicians do not need "electricity" to amuse the crowd, they been to be honest and humble, and fair to everyone as he develops his positions and policies during the primaries.

After Trump's flaming carnival show of the damned, Biden is building trust and confidence in his stalwart character, and his long experience in national and foriegn affairs. His quiet, reliable strength of character and thoughtful responses seem more like a welcomed respite from the frey.

Since most of the candidates will soon be eliminated, Biden just needs to Outlive, Outlast and Outplay the also rans until he's face to face with the final opponent.
