I have something to say. When the Democratic primaries began, I had one problem with Joe Biden...his age. I am 71, I know I am not strong enough to do all he is doing. I was wrong about him. As we watch and listen to him, it is clear he is fit for the job. He is mentally and physically fit. He has the experience, the morality and decency to help this country begin to heal. I am 100% behind him in this campaign. I hope he gets the opportunity to lead us.

A great Executive will always surround himself or herself with people that are smarter than he or she. That is how great Companies flourish.

(32,626 posts)knowing your way around government, and how things work, is an asset I don't think one would want to do without. Especially when so many agencies will need an upgrade. Kamala has the energy and the fresh eyes, and Biden knows the landscape like the back of his hand.

(42,311 posts)I'm 61 had those concerns about Joe.
I love Joe. We are not only fellow Scrantonians, we grew up in the same neighborhood (different years) and the same parish (a big deal amongst Scrantonians. In fact, family lore has it that my mother babysit him before his family moved to DE! The timing fits but Mom's been gone since '89 so I can't verify.
I am so happy to admit I was wrong. Kamala was my first choice and I'm delighted with her as the VP pick. I believe they complement each other well.
Joe is tearing it up - when he started talking to the RW farmer woman at the town hall last night about chicken manure, I was laughing. The extent of his knowledge is crazy.
IMPOTUS wouldn't have a clue.
