Nelson Mandela was roughly the same age as Joe Biden when he took on saving his country...

...from decades of incompetent, ignorant and vicious leadership. He was born in 1918 and served as President of South Africa from 1994-1999, five years of magnificent leadership.

He was 76 when he became President of South Africa, and his warm and forgiving personality saved his country from decades of disgrace.

Joe Biden has to save a country savaged by malicious, corrupt, and ignorant leadership for a period of only four years.

The years of experience that Biden will bring to the job will come into play in a big way. Joe can do it.

That is all.

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

Recognized at home and around the world was because he was a good man. That is what we need now in our president. A good and moral person who always tries to do the right thing for the country and humanity. That’s Joe.

...representative features of their personality, all of which are lacking in Trump and all of which are prominent in Joe Biden.
