People trust Joe Biden... they like him on a gut level.. [View all]

its not tearing anyone else down.. they just feel comfortable with Joe Biden.. They know what he has accomplished.. and that gives them comfort.. We have recently returned from a vacation in the upper Midwest.. and we heard it time and time again.. I like this person.. I like that person.. but I feel most comfortable with VP Biden.. I told this to some earlier today.. we ran into one person who put it the best I have heard yet.. they know if "VP Biden is elected they can sleep at night"

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