There are down sides to Joe Biden? Trump will hammer away at Ukraine and the media will lap it up as if Biden is the corrupt one! Then he will call him sleepy Joe and the media will say he’s too old. Then he will blame him for the US being in Iraq. If you think Biden will win in a walkover, you are very mistaken. You all take Trump lightly because you don’t like him but he is a formidable candidate.

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