Chicago Sun-Times endorses Biden

Thank you, Democrats, for the designated driver.

We were feeling despondent about our chances of getting home safely.

The guy behind the wheel now, Donald Trump, veers like a drunk all over the road of decency and values, driving into hate-filled ditches.

And the guy who looked like he was in the best position to grab the wheel away, the far more honorable Bernie Sanders, isn’t much of a driver himself. He’s got a way of talking up big road trips — “Medicare for all!” — on half a tank of gas with no map.

So, yes, we were relieved on Super Tuesday when you surprised everybody, you Democrats, and voted in big numbers to give Joe Biden the keys.

The endorsement lists three main reasons for backing Biden:

1) He has the best chance of beating Trump.

2) He'll give Democrats running for Congress their best chance of winning.

3) He'll be a better president than Sanders. They compare him to Obama.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
