For those who are concerned about Biden's two prior runs for the nomination.... [View all]

I was reminded today of the following:

Reagan tested the 1968 presidential waters as part of a "Stop Nixon" movement, hoping to cut into Nixon's southern support and become a compromise candidate if neither Nixon nor second-place candidate Nelson Rockefeller received enough delegates to win on the first ballot at the Republican convention. However, by the time of the convention, Nixon had 692 delegate votes, 25 more than he needed to secure the nomination, followed by Rockefeller with Reagan in third place.

In 1976, Reagan challenged incumbent President Gerald Ford in a bid to become the Republican Party's candidate for president. Ford won.

I, like others, have concerns about Biden's prior two runs before. I would think a candidate learns a few things each time he runs. Also, there are just circumstances that come together against a win for a particular candidate, through no fault of his own. Let's face it, no one had a serious chance against Obama.

I'll be paying close attention to the debates. His announcement by video, although unusual, was perfect, IMO. He presented himself with the seriousness that this time in history deserves. The camera closed in on him, as if he were speaking one on one. You could see his eyes as he spoke of what could happen with a second term by Trump.

I can't wait for the debates to start in June.
