... I just can't see an effective president being a person who suffers the same or even similar verbal foibles as Trump.

Joe is good guy - that is a given. However, he seems more and more likely to mis-speak or get confused in interviews and speeches. It concerns me.

OK LETS BE CLEAR, I support Warren... but be totally assured I will vote for Joe if he gets the nomination. Yet in my deepest heart-of-hearts I just hope we can put someone in the office that is not a visage of our past, but rather a visage of our future.

Running a campaign based on 2008 thinking/memories is a very poor choice IMO.I get the impression that Joe is running a campaign that is basically a "Rewind the clock" message. We might win the current battle with this, but we will not win the War.

We need to think and vote bigger and longer. We might well win with Joe - that is for sure, but we also might lose later if we continue this sameness of thinking.

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