Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I'm beginning to think it's a no-brainer for Joe. [View all]Sloumeau
(2,657 posts)It's a real challenge to become President, and making the jump from a mayor in his 30's is probably even tougher. Pete has a lot of years in which he can fill out his political resume and then make the attempt again. This is Biden's third try, and the previous tries helped get him ready for this one.
Both Mayor Pete and Joe Biden prefer inclusiveness over exclusiveness. They prefer kindness over meanness. They like to talk in ways that inspire, and they like to honor people. Democrats want a candidate whose goodness shines through. I am hoping that Biden wins the Presidency and that he offers Mayor Pete something like the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. post. It would allow Mayor Pete to use his many languages, and give him valuable foreign policy experience that would help him with another Presidential attempt. It could also help prepare Mayor Pete for being a Senator or for a Secretary of State position, both of which ould be a stepping stone to the White House.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
