Only one person can be President.. only one.. and everyone else

needs to be thinking how they can support an eventual choice even if it is not them.. and that includes my choice.. VP Biden.. I of course think he is the best for the job.. other have a candidate they think is best for the job.. but only one person can do this..

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

...this is horse race stuff, a bit irrelevant this far out from the election.

One man's inevitability could turn into voter fatigue/remorse, for example.

All of our major candidates would fare extremely well in the general election, imo.

He wants to return to a time when DECENCY and PROBITY, dominated political debate. A time where one can debate with another without debasing an opponent as they detailed their differences.

In this era of Trump, that flew out the window when politics wallowed in the gutter. Donald Trump rewrote the book and now he pisses on it. Joe Biden will bring that back in his message that this election is indeed about the heart and soul of this Nation, as well as what kind of Nation do we want to be.

I am reminded in the battle scene in Osgilieth in The Two Towers as the Battle at Helm's Deep rages on the morning of the 5th day, when Samwise Gamgee tells Frodo "that there is still light and beauty in this world." Joe Biden still sees that there are still SOME decent people out there that will get the message.

however, I would vote for a cardboard box over the "Esteemed" Mr. Trump or any Republican.
