Advising Biden To Wait Is A Mistake [View all]
I love Joe. I think he would be a great President. But waiting as long as he can is not ideal, because with this many candidates, the $$ and oxygen are drying up.
This process has started early, to be sure, and that frustrates even me, this never ending election thing. But the fact is, he is not an 800 lb elephant. I don't think there has been a more talented array of candidates for a major party nomination in the history of our country. We are not desperate to have Joe run, as good as he can be. This is another reason it is imperative he makes up his mind. Hesitation at this stage of a career, when so many others have the taste in their mouth, gives me pause about the fire to take on Trump. Make no mistake, it will be no cakewalk no matter who runs on either side, and I need to know that there is a fire in the belly, quelled by nothing other than the intense desire to defeat the GOP. I can't vote for someone with trepidation.
You have to know. If there is not that certainty, that, full steam ahead, as much as I love and respect Joe, I ask him to defer. If he is truly ready, I am too. But I can't wait all that much longer, my efforts and $$ have to go somewhere.
I can't stress this enough, it will take unfathomable determination to defeat this cabal. It can't just be "Nice to be President, if it works out."
It must be "It is imperative that I become President, and I WILL BE."
My 2 cents.
