In reply to the discussion: I spent lunchtime watching old videos of Joe Biden on YouTube... [View all]quickesst
(6,309 posts)37. This is what I believe
There are those who believe Joe Biden's popularity is due to name recognition as if it is a flawed reason for supporting him. I contend that Joe's name recognition is an asset simply because of the stellar reputation that goes along with it. World leaders, especially our allies, support Joe Biden and will feel confidence and comfort in knowing that they are dealing with someone they are very familiar with. That confidence and comfort will show America that he can make monumental strides in healing the damage done worldwide by the corrupt trump administration. These are some of the reasons I am supporting him. Hang in there.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
