Without mentioning any policies, make the case for your candidate [View all]

The Presidency isn't a policy job, and Presidents almost never make policy decisions. The kind of fine-grained policy fights we have in this forum would make a lot more sense being asked of potential Senate candidates. Even with executive orders, Presidents don't write them: they hire the people who hire the people who hire the people who write them.

So, without mentioning any policy issues, make the case for your candidate.

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