He was Obama's right hand man for 8 years, and helped directly in turning this country around from the shit left behind by Bush.
He helped to lay the groundwork for this economy which Trump so handedly takes credit for.
The man knows what he is doing, his feet are on the ground, and that's good enough for me.

I like this:

Con: "OLBERMANN: All right. To continue with this in a 30-second fashion, Senator Biden, scrap NAFTA or fix it?...

BIDEN: Hey, look, the president’s job is to create jobs, not to export jobs. And the idea that we are not willing to take the prime minister of Canada and the president of Mexico to the mat to make this agreement [North American Free Trade Agreement] work is just a lack of presidential leadership.

Good, not great:

Should all Americans have a right (be entitled) to basic health care?"

Pro: "...I would insure every single, solitary child in America and make sure catastrophic insurance exists for every single person in America, while we move toward a national health care system covering anybody."
"AFL-CIO Democratic Presidential Forum," www.msnbc.com, Aug. 7, 2007

He's not conservative. His stances on Abortion, gun control, healthcare (sort of) and NAFTA are all what I'd call liberal or left of center. Also, not all old people are Trumpkins, some even think for themselves.

Thanks for putting this together. Makes me less anxious about Biden. I'd prefer somebody younger though.

so..you'd rather have a pussy grabber than a side boob grazer?.....
has one single woman come out and said Biden ever said or did anything that did more than make them slightly uncomfortable? has he been caught paying off porn stars for unprotected sex in hotel rooms?....
is he a socially unacceptable socialist? is he a woman who doesn't know what her own ethnic heritage is?...is he a newcomer to politics with no real clue as to how things work in washington?
so offer me a better alternative....actually, don't bother, i've already looked at the field, at the moment, there is no better candidate...which may be disappointing to you, but it's still true...

this isn't a politically oriented website... this is a site full of potheads, and we're the politically aware potheads....
it may seem like we're a clique, but trust me, there are times a lot of us would like to kick a lot of others of us in the ass...there are a couple of people i only take off of ignore once a week for entertainment value, and a couple i'll never take off of ignore....
if you want serious discussion of politics from a wide variety of people, go to a political website's forums...cause we're a bunch of potheads that read the news....
