60. Jesus-y? I have not felt or read that at all.

He has his faith and is not ashamed of it and does not feel the need to shove it down anyone's gullet.

I'm ok with that even if I don't share in his beliefs.

I imagine there are many people who might take comfort in the fact he is a man of faith.

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