37. Sounds like a genuine unifier to me.

That was a very classy gesture. Clean. Genuine. Honest (how long has it been since we had THAT?!?). Sincere. And generous. And TREMENDOUSLY Presidential.

And there’s no guile. No deceit. No subterfuge. No bullshit or fast-talking or side-stepping or distraction or bullshit-spreading or clouding the issue or muddying the water or con-talk of any sort. No making shit up or shamelessly patting himself on the back or strutting for compliments.

Refreshing as all-get-out. I could stand four-to-eight years of that, easily!

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