this epidemic should be handled. Such a contrast to this Idiot's message yesterday.

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

He summoned the scientific and public health expertise, without minimizing the extreme danger of this outbreak both in terms of health and economics, outlined specific steps that need to be taken (alas, pointing out how the agencies capable of implementing these steps need to be rebuilt after being gutted by the current administration), expressed empathy and support to afflicted individuals and their families as well as to workers, and remained calm and humble. Oh, and the need for global cooperation.

A Clinton administration would have been prepared to execute these necessary steps; now a Biden administration is needed to implement them for the future. This speech gave me confidence it would do so with speed and expertise.

Somehow we allowed a travesty to go (practically) unquestioned.

We need the honestly elected President Hillary Clinton to take her rightful place in the office she won by almost 3,000,000 votes. (Apparently one person = one vote is the founders' inside joke on we little people.)

But that is about as likely as us getting Biden, NOW.

As God is my witness (spoken like a true, avowed, card carrying atheist - if there were cards I would have one), let Biden offer, and Hillary accept, the first open Supreme Court Justice seat. She could still have a good 10 to 15 years of comeuppance.

Karma would be SUCH a bitch.
