5. He's not a conservative.

People see "Republican" and assume he's conservative. He's really not.

I would prefer he not be the nominee, but I also think people have no idea where he stands on most issues and have chosen to pick and choose ones that make him look like a right-winger. He's pretty obviously not when his overall record is considered.

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