I remember back in 2008 when I saw all the Democratic presidential candidate hopefuls lined up on the stage and my first thought was who would want this job now?? But little did I imagine what was in front of us after 2016, this truly has been a national nightmare and what needs to be done/fixed/reinstated has got to be absolutely overwhelming!

But Joe Biden turns out to be the right leader for this crucial time - he not only has decades of experience so he understands the Senate, but he also had eight years in the executive branch working closely with President Obama. And I still remember hearing that Biden was chosen as VP especially for his foreign policy experience - he's got it all and he's putting that experience and knowledge to work immediately and impressively!
