@snood,

Joe Biden has served his entire career nobly and competently, much of the time while recovering from personal tragedy. In my opinion, his record of resilient service to his country despite huge personal loss should recommend him, rather than disqualify him.
One's personal tragedy should never be a reason to serve in higher office. Who knows what impact one's emotional experience will have on his/her mind. I like Biden and think he would make a fine president, but not to replace Hillary. We are looking at Hillary with jaundice eyes right now and the GOP propaganda machine is working overtime. Hillary, in my opinion, would be the better of the two. Biden ran twice before and never made enough of a dent to be memorable; he is politically ambitious to a fault; he is 73 years old, and frankly, many people in the private sector have already retired.
Let us not allow the Republicans to force us to turn against Hillary. We have always known her to be a private person, and she is the same except now she's being so cornered that even some Dems are becoming nervous.
I do not believe Biden can win against the GOP, and Hillary who by all accounts can win against them. This is why the Republicans are so frightened! The GOP came up with the poison she might have masterminded the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi. Now they're trying to make out she's a spy with her server and might have given secrets to another government.
The Republican Party is not lacking in a filthy creative imagination.
