44. This is a very good argument. And there IS a sense that relief is in sight.

One thing I think is glaringly obvious about Joe Biden is - he’s a genuinely caring, compassionate, and good man.

NOBODY is perfect. Not even the ones some THINK are perfect. But we need a genuinely good and kind and compassionate leader. Someone who’ll help us heal. Someone eager to give us a reassuring hug and a shoulder to cry on. Someone who can empathize because he has known great pain and anguish and loss, up close and personal. He has legitimately walked in those shoes. Authentic and genuine as can be. I don’t know of anybody better-suited for that than Joe Biden.

Sure sounds like relief on the way, to me.

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