handling the online presence pretty well. There was some kind of fluff attempt a making it seem like he's got a major challenge in doing so. He ran with the president who mastered the internet campaign tools. It's not like many of the same group aren't working in the background on this.

Getting rid of -45 is such a national imperative that only those who are not loyal to this country and/or unable to engage in independent cognitive function is gathering in an all hands on deck approach. I don't think any of the cheating mechanisms can succeed here this time.

He'll be bloodied, you'll be rested and fresher to voters. I'm sure his campaign team is taking notes and formulating strategy for when things turn competitive. Then they can jab at the already exposed weak spots. I think Biden is rather underrated as a candidate, perhaps because he never had the playing field to himself in years he ran previously. Also he trounced Paul Ryan (btw he'll be back in 2024) in the VP debate. That was a very difficult feat to pull off the way he did, occasionally laughing at him. Biden is no lightweight.

Just because he doesn't spend a lot of time in the media, or hasn't, doesn't mean he's not every bit the leader we need. Besides he has so many resources in institutional knowledge to rely on, I expect it will be the best of all options for the country at this time.

I got to shake his hand this January and tell him that. He was trilled, and I got a nice selfie with him.
