3. Biden's win, given his being written off by pundits, donors, and supporters,

Mar 2020

is amazing. Inspiring. Possibly the most qualified candidate ever, by virtue alone of having been
VP for eight years, extensive FP cred, and an accomplished career, he was always underestimated.

He still will be—as the safe choice, Coronavirus fears robbing Sanders of a win, getting ahead somehow by default despite stimulating but lukewarm feelings in voters, and blah, blah.

Those of us who have believed in him from the start are not surprised. Bravo, Joe, much deserved.

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