Listening to Joe Biden. I've been in his corner since

the day he declared. I do believe however his election will rest on a very well thought out vice presidential candidate selection.

I’m watching his interview with Bryan Williams. He is so very knowledgeable and has so much experience. But I do believe he is somewhat “old” beyond his years. I think the last blow of losing his son is telling.

All that said I support him 100% and look forward to his campaign.

And I also believe he can and will win.

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

He's not comfortable video streaming. He is definitely an extrovert and gets a lot of energy from crowds and interacting in person with voters. Plus he admitted he's depressed not being able to hug his grandkids.

Also I think he's genuinely upset by what Trump has done to America. That's why he's running for President.

debate couldn't have been starker. Biden's direct delivery, erect posture, flat belly and well-tailored suit contrasted sharply next to the rumpled, stooped and angry Sanders

Yes indeed it did. Biden is well-groomed, bright-eyed and healthy... and he cuts a sharp-looking figure in his clothes. He's got the demeanor, temperament, attitude and posture that's needed to command attention and respect as the leader of our party, and our nation, and of the free world.


Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!

I agree, "I think the last blow of losing his son is telling". That was a huge loss, he went on with life because he has a loving family, grandchildren who need him in their life. Must be so hard for him & his family now with the social distancing/pandemic.

I think Biden knows he needs a strong VP, someone who can go to these interviews and speak well about the campaign & D party platform.

Joe himself said very recently, "a VP who is ready to be President". That's a very short list IMO and probably shouldn't exclude a gender.
