I understand that most Democratic candidates want to get their policy points up there. And I'd be excited, too, if I had a shot at the Presidency because 2020 is an almost certainty for Democrats. I'd just like to hear and see a little more of it.

Yeah, so it may sound corny, but what a statement it would make if one of the questions was, "Take a look at the candidate standing on your left and make a case for his or her qualifications to be President of the United States." It's either that or stand and hold shoulders and sing Kum Ba Yah.

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