My neighbor was Joe's very first campaign advisor and manager,

he having held years of union employment and representative union background.
He told me long after Joe was in any way up for any higher office that Joe was the most decent, honest man he’d ever worked with. This was years before Obama. He said it was a shame that Joe had never reached the level of POTUS because he would have been the best.

My neighbor was himself a decent and trustworthy man of high principle and patriotism, and I trusted his judgement, despite the negativity and sometimes mafia influence that was attempting to take over our unions. Despite harm to himself, Joe fought to keep our unions clean and beneficial to the workers and their families.

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

Back before worms ate his brain.

I definitely believe that Joe has a good heart and good intentions even though he's more conservative than I am.

It's always nice to hear that people are nice! Thanks for this glimpse into behind-the-scenes Joe!
