(37,648 posts)I'd like to see a younger, more forward-looking President....as long as he/she could beat Trump. I don't know who can beat Trump and the Russians, frankly.
Biden seems to be sailing along, so .... Yes, I'll vote for him, if he gets the nomination. But I think he'll set us back, not take us forward. I also think he's just too old to be President. The mind starts failing at a certain age. It's inevitable. Both Trump and Biden have reached that age. Happens to the best of us, and all of us. In four years, who knows? It may boil down to who he gets to help him, keep him informed. I just remember that Reagan wasn't really acting as President in his second term; he had Alzheimer's by then, although it was secret. They still won't admit it. But of course he did. The suits behind him were running the country, and some were taking advantage of Reagan.
The VP he picks will be critical, for obvious reasons. If he wins.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
