Poor Joe. It seems he can’t catch a break lately. Every misstep, every audible gaff is poked and probed and added to someone’s list of reasons why he shouldn’t be running for reelection. I admit to thinking he’s getting up there in years and does, on occasion, appear frail and tired and not up to the challenge of keeping a schedule one might associate with being POTUS.
But… Mr. Biden does come across as being a genuinely kind person. And he does love America—more so for what it can be than for what it once was and must not return to. Which is unlike his opponents on the right, who want to make America into a cold-hearted bastion of whiteness and a so-called Christian nation dependent on an easily and frequently misinterpreted and narrow reading of what the Bible says.
If the DNC deems Biden our best option against Trump or a Trump wannabe who’s beholden to the mindless Base, then I have to go with the elder statesman, and hope that his supporting cast can pick up any slack.
Besides, Trump is no Spring chicken. Age-wise, we’re pretty much talking apples and apples.
