Given the importance of this election, with the very future of our democracy hanging in the balance, and dirty tricks, dirty money, and enemies foreign and domestic (e.g., Trump, FoxNews, Republican Party) certain to tarnish the election process with disinformation and vote tampering; plus the number of unprecedented crises the next president will face – ones that will demand energy, stamina, fresh ideas, and two terms to even begin to address – it just seems to me MADNESS that voters are supposedly giving top consideration to 3 candidates over the age of 70, with two of them, already 77/78 years old, hitting the age of 80 in their contemplated first term; and that anyone at all is giving serious consideration to Bloomberg, who is the same age as Sanders and Biden. If there were ever a time that we need fresh blood, it's NOW!

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