7. Sorry, being "close" to Obama is not enough

Repubs might nominate someone like Bush 1 because he was "close" to a popular president but Democrats have to do better. Biden should run on the issues and policies, not on pics of him being awarded medals by Obama. So far he's been short on what he would do as president, just that he's not rump. They all say that.

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