5. Vice President Biden will be fine in a "debate" with Trump should they even occur

I put the word in quotes, because the format we use for our political "debates" aren't really debates, are they.

They are just two or more people spouting off memorized sound bites, tropes, and anecdotes, with some policy mixed in. Even the policy talk is necessarily vague and un-nuanced because of time constraints.

Post game commentary is always cringe-worthy, and I can't help but wonder how many erstwhile wonderful leaders we could have had if we would just drop them entirely.

So no - time to wrap this up.

Until the convention, let Mayor Bloomberg do his anti-Trump media magic as we raise money and get ready to save our democracy in the fall.

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