I think that Biden is simply running against somebody who entertains and appears with regularity. On the other hand Biden does not entertain nor does he appear with regularity. He is, I think, moving around and talking to people but there is no TV camera there. Trump, on the other hand, seems to have a TV camera there at all times (I wonder if he does that on his own and then offer the results to anybody who wants it).

Anyway, Biden is, as I have said, really Biden the secret man. Doesn't talk publically much and apparently has little to say. That, I think, is what sets me off. I also suspect that I am not alone on this one. I watched a Washington state congressman (senator I think) talk about why he wants him to stop and he agrees with me but, being a real politician, he did it with a lot more vim, vigor, knowledge, reason and understanding.

Another problem is that I really want the Democrats to win the next election. Maybe Biden can win and maybe he can't. I would prefer that somebody was running who doesn't mind talking to others, in front of a camera, and explains things that are going on so everybody understand where, exactly, he stands. Biden just doesn't. There also seems a lot that want the Vice President to step in and run in his place. I am not really sure about that one either but it would probably be better than Biden. There are a lot of others as well and they all seem dandy to me. I have a favorite but would setting on any of them. Trump does not want Biden to NOT run and has made that pretty clear. Basically the Republicans seem to agree with a lot of Democrats that biden will lose as well.

Oh, Harry Truman - I think he was a president that didn't sign up to be president a last time. Interesting you mentioned him.

I just don't know how this is all going to play out. Apparently Biden controls all the money? I don't think anything will be done until the convention takes place. Not even sure that is true but I hopefully it will. There are a lot of people who agree with Biden on this one so one can, at least, hope?

Thought I should mention that Biden is REALLY getting hammered now. I wonder how long it gonna take him to understand that few want him to run and less every day!! WHAT A MESS!
