I'm not a Biden supporter but we are all pretty much in the same boat in terms of trying to figure out how to respond to him. Truthfully, there's not much other than hoping that he appears so unhinged and crazy that other people see right through him. Unfortunately, when the media doesn't call him out about his ramblings and/or attempts to normalize him, that makes our jobs that much harder.

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