I agree on all your points. Pete is very intelligent, speaks multiple languages, and has military experience. Beyond that, he does a good job of showing how Christianity actually corresponds with Democratic principles. He is quite good at pointing out the hypocrisy of Trump to Christians. I think that is a real strength that he is comfortable with speaking about Christianity. Being from the mid west, rather than one of the coasts also a plus because it makes him more relatable to the folks in the rural areas the Dems have had a hard time reaching. Pete has the youth and health that you know Trump is totally envious of. Pete is going to look and sound just incredibly more appealing than Trump when matched up with him in a debate. Honestly, I think there's an attractiveness factor that a lot of people will vote on, especially the people that don't really pay attention. Fat, sprayed tanned, senile old man with a dyed blonde comb over hair style...rambling on about windmills and toilets. How attractive is that?

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