(85,158 posts)4. It's appealing, alright.
He has the common touch. Hes relatable like few others are. And he connects with the so-called working class. He took the train back home to Delaware when the Obama/Biden team had retired. And for all those who felt like betting on trump (?!!?!?!???!?) because they were somehow feeling left out or left behind, he might well bring them back into the tent.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
