But he's very quick on his feet and intelligent, similar to Obama ... all the answers to the Twitter questions were excellent ... presumably he didn't get them ahead of time ... I've seen him in a number of situations now and he seems to be able to think fast like that and come up with a good, intelligent answer every time, so I think he didn't.

A process which is made much more simple if you have a solid grasp of what you're fundamentally 'about' ... dude pretty much exudes smarts, honesty, stability, and humility. Traits that, come 2020, voters are REALLY going to be craving I'm betting.

I for one would like to hear a bit more concrete answers though as to policy, but I can wait a bit.

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