He is as he always is: calm, prepared, clear on-target answers and so on.

He is presidential.

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

If he is the nominee he will get my vote, but I prefer a candidate that has his/her policy proposals ready to go when he starts rather than developing them after deciding to run for office.

hearts. For me that is a gift beyond grammatical correctness, paragraph formation, which I think is
more a skill. Most educated, articulate people can and do acquire it.

I watched most of the interview and what really bothered me was the statement by him that (paraphrased) "as we roll out more policy proposals over the next few weeks......"

I don't know seems to me that is the cart before the horse. I prefer a candidate to have their policy proposals ready from the get-go and not develop them after they decide "Gee, I can run for this or that office."
