However, in a Gazette interview Saturday, there were a few cracks in Biden’s speak-no-ill rule. Some of his rivals in the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses, he said, are proposing dangerous agendas and lack preparation for the job they are seeking.

He also seemed to bristle at a suggestion that unlike those progressives in the races, some supporters see him as the “safe” choice.

1. He is not wrong about their lack of preparation on both an experiential level and in their concept

that the president acts as some visionary in chief dreaming up extravagant ideas all day and implementing them with a wave of the hand.

However, many have been unprepared and accomplished a great deal. I think this is the worst time in history to put a trainee into office, particularly with the state of our foreign relations and potential world crises.

Depends on how Americans think of the office.
