I’m shooting from the hip here, but isn’t that standard pre-election trope? The losing side of the previous election always asks that question, as if it’s a given you are not. I’m not crazy about Biden but I’d literally vote for anyone but Trump and I’m pretty sure every other Dem that’s not happy with Biden feels that same way.

Speaking of, I’m not so sure Biden would speak that well at a debate either. He’s not getting any younger and it’s showing. I am 100% confident of his ability behind the helm, but he’s starting to look a little weak. So maybe good that Trump bows out.

Stranger!? Why, I’m your warm, fuzzy internet buddy.
