I think Biden's best attribute is his years of experience in the executive branch

He knows how it ought to operate after serving eight years with Obama. He’s going to have to rebuild it from the ground up after trump has done everything he can to destroy it.

Also, our former allies know him and may be more likely to trust us again as a country a lot faster than if it were someone without his experiences.

He's been in both areas and was known for being Obama's enforcer and nudger on Capitol Hill.

value of experience. I have no idea what our government ...when it's working, looks like. Joe knows it from every angle. They just need lots of young blood to do the heavy lifting. Makes me think it could be possible.

Nowhere, a failed businessman, he wouldn't have made it to first bsse. But he'd cultivated a public presence as sexy, a great businessman, knowledgeable on every subject under the sun.
