Joe Biden’s “likeables” are probably higher than anybody else’s.

Lots of our candidates are appealing and congenial and easy to like. But there’s this intangible about Biden that looks to be pretty doggone ferocious. There’s a lot of the Everyman thing about him.

There’s a strong sense of The Common Man about him.

There’s an air of approachability and genuine warmth about him - like the fun uncle or jolly grandpa you actually looked forward to seeing every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

And authenticity. This is a guy who is not known for lying. Occasional buffoonery but very mild compared to what we’ve come to expect from our so-called “Lyin’ King” who’s currently contaminating our White House.

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