.... actually believe that Joe Biden, his wife, his family, and especially his physicians did not take his health into consideration when making his decision to run for president? I am 100% convinced that if there were any foreseeable health problems for Joe Biden, he would not have decided to run. I cannot fathom Biden or his wife Jill putting his family and the country at risk unless they were absolutely confident he was 100% fit to serve. The ageism card has already been played and it did not go anywhere. What makes anyone think it will gain any traction now?

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