He said Biden's time has past and that we need to nominate one of our younger new leaders. He really believes nominating Biden is a big mistake in spite of what the polls say today. He went through the whole litany of Biden's baggage and said the pukes will be all over it like stink on shit.

He told me he can say someone's too old because he knows old first hand. He really fears Biden will end up losing to rump and said he'll shut off his tv and just basically wait to die when that happens.
