President Obama's closest advisor and

his VP was Joe Biden.

Look, I am open to many candidates running and look forward to the debates and other opportunities to hear more, but I will say that Biden brings a lot of experience and an ability to provide the closest thing to a turn key situation to clean up this mess that we are in.

Again, not that others are not capable or offer some great things, including some specific policy views that are more directly relatable to most of us and I get his negatives.... in fact that's why I am writing this. I see a lot of the negative things he has done posted, but I just wanted to remind everyone of who he was to President Obama.

Yes, his treatment towards Anita Hill was bad and having been in the Senate for decades, he has votes etc. that are not preferable, but it's like he never was a truly engaged VP to Obama. It's like it didn't happen...

I don't get that.

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

to reflect that, and I could REALLY see him feeding some of that classic BS right back into the mouth of IQ45. At a debate I think Joe would just about be able to make Fake-pres drop down and cry like the whiny little bitch that he is!

One of our brilliant, younger candidates as VP would make a powerful team in my estimation.
