I don’t know if he’s electable. Nobody does. He seems to be doing well at the moment, so perhaps his electability isn’t as much of an issue as many believe.

I don’t want him nominated because I don’t believe he possesses the ability to govern. I don’t think he can form coalitions. His energy is entirely based on resentment and grudges, neither of which bode well for governance.

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