Exactly true, Miriam.
But then I've always believed that it takes someone with an over
inflated ego to believe that they can lead a large nation.
I was just listening to Rep. Jayapal on Thom Hartmann, on Free Talk
TV. She's the Rep. from Seattle's 7th District. I would put her up
to run for vice president with Joe Biden.

Carl,
I forget things all the time, words, names of things, inconsequential things
that have happened recently. But neither you nor I would presume to take on
the kind of responsibility that Joe Biden is willing to take on. For him to
make that choice, is wrong, unethical. For the Democratic Party leadership
to manipulate in the way that they did to give him the nomination, is
absolutely criminal. And it shows their disrespect for the Americans whom
they are supposed to be representing.

That pretty much sums it up, Miriam.
But here's the scary thing, Joe Biden sounds very much like me. No, I don't
mean that he has the same positions or principles that I have, but I'm now
finding myself wandering off topic, reaching for words that slip and slide
away, and mix up topics in the middle of a thought. Maybe it shows somewhat
in my posts, but as a general rule I take time to say what I want to say
without wandering too far afield.
When I was younger I saw this same pattern developing in my mother, as it
had done with her own mother. I assumed I would follow my dad's aging
pattern. Dad was sharp up to the day he died. But, as it is with us all,
the genetic mix can be very fickle. Two beautiful young people can produce
an Ugly Duckling just as a homely pair can bring into the world a Beauty
Pageant Winner.
But, and there is always a butt in the mix, Joe Biden is dreaming, in his
more lucid moments, of becoming our Leader! Leaders, especially in today's
world, need to be able to follow a thought from beginning to end without
winding up somewhere else.
What I would do, if, God Forbid, if I were Joe Biden, I'd take Bernie
Sanders as my running mate. Now I understand that Biden said he'd call on a
woman to be his vice presidential running mate, but remember, Joe What's
His Name won't remember he said that. So with Bernie at his side, bringing
all the more reasonable voters, and Joe with the Establishment Democrats,
together they will sweep Donald Trump and his White Supremacists right on
back to where they belong...1880.

My last post for tonight: Has anyone actually listened to all of the
recent clips of Joe Biden's pronouncements? He is clearly suffering
from some kind of Dimentia. He can't talk for more than a minute or so
without going off track, forgetting what he's saying, sounding
confused. It is incredible that the Democratic Party leadership has
chosen this candidate to run against Donald trump. Assuming that they
can continue to hide his senility from the public, is their plan to
then have someone behind the scenes actually act as President while
using him as a figurehead. That's what the Republicans did with Ronald
Reagan after he developed Alzheimers, but at least he was functional
at the start of his presidency. So this time we'll have two old white
men running against each other: one, an insane person who is also a
racist bigot and a dishonest businessman: the other a senile racist
with a history of favoring legislation that supports banks and mass
incarceration.
Both of them have histories of sexual harassment of women. But the
thing is, the Republicans are more ruthless than the Democrats, better
at dirty tricks, so the crazy racist abuser may win over the senile
racist abuser.
