I applaud Joe Biden. I think he will be viewed as one of the most effective and important Presidents ever. I don't know why there is so little discussion of how he had to pull us out of the wreckage of the worst, most destructive administration in our history. TFG ran the ship of state onto the rocks. He gutted the government of qualified professionals. Joe brought them back. Joe re-floated the vessel. He surrounded himself with a diverse crew of experts. Kudos, big time.
But in my humble opinion, it is time for the next generation to take the helm. The most likely candidate on the dark side will be DeathSantis. He is 44. His oratory is strong. His appeal is growing exponentially.
The quote you have used demonstrates Joe's forthright condemnation of the falsehoods and dark money and deserves more kudos. I love the guy. But here is the thing, he used the word "kazoo".
It is time for some youthful charisma. As much as I respect and admire Joe Biden, we are losing the young vote to apathy. We have the majority of them in philosophy - tolerance, a love of diversity, support of women's rights. But someone Joe Biden's age (anyone) is not going to get them to vote. "Respect for elders" is not big value in our society.
I have no particular fondness for Gavin Newsom. But listen to his presentation. Amy Klobuchar comes across as a fighter. Pete Buttigieg may be the best and brightest speaker of them all. Stacey Abrams leaves everyone on the stage in the dust. We have a really big stable of fiery racehorses. I say open the gates and see who runs the best race.
My intuition is that Joe Biden will not run again. I think he will put country over his ego. He puts on a good show and today is no time to show weakness. I think he will decide to leave on top in terms of his accomplishments - he beat Trump and reassembled the nation. He is amazing.
If I am wrong (not unusual) and he runs, I will slap a Biden bumper sticker on my forehead.
It's more fun agreeing with you than with you, Bill, than with most because you and I have strong opinions when we have them and often a bit at odds. So, we are a good sparring pair and, I think, excellent teammates as well.
