 Re: For the Good of the Country

Ol' Joe put himself out there to run for POTUS for the "good of the country." Essentially Joe knew he was the only one voters would go for to block a criminal from having a second term.  I like Joe, but running for office, in my view, is rarely something done purely for "the good of the country". There's a lot more ego involved. Giving up an office - or resigning to prove a principle - are much closer, in my opinion, because that involves a real sacrifice - although I do admit that "putting oneself out there" does involve sacrifice and the risk of a bruised ego. Joe was the only one that could beat Trump in 2020. He knew it and we voters knew it. Joe did his job as far as I am concerned - keeping Trump away from the Oval Office. Many voted for Joe for this reason, not Joe's policies. Joe was never going to be a Bernie or Liz Warren as being a president. Joe is Joe, but more importantly, he helped us dodge a bullet.
