28. One would think there are better reasons to choose your candidate

You may insist on supporting Biden because of his gaffs, or should I say, in spite of his gaffs, but one thing I can tell you is you need to brace yourself for more gaffs, I hope I am wrong, but unless someone gets Biden to measure himself, you will be very upset when republicans take those gaffs and multiply their meaning, that is the only thing republicans do well, trash other people, but we have to admit that they do it well, and if Biden continues to feed them with gaffs, well...they are going to love it.

I like Biden, but every time I see him live on TV my nervous systems goes on high, I am just so not wanting to hear another gaff, and when he doesn't and all is done, my muscles and my head relax. I hope he is able to control himself.

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