get behind Biden 100% and then own his job as senator. Be the hero. Take the praise and the pat on back. Another lap for adulation. While we all roll our eyes. At least that is not killing people, but this pretense of being in the race still and these showboats are to get a vote only does damage, more damage, continued damage.

...they don't mention that the chances of a 78-year old man having another heart attack within a year are 45 out of 100. And that's for a 78-year old who doesn't have heart disease in his family history.

Normally this is nothing that we'd be discussing, but if they're going to go on and on about Biden's non-existent health issues people should do the same.

then nothing anyone can say will help you.
