This is laughable to me.

You don't run for office if you're a marshmallow pushover who can be bullied by any two-bit schmuck with an agenda.

Politicians, even the good ones, are no one's fool, and have a strong will, massive ego, and a huge chunk of a shark's cunning thrown in for good measure. You can't handle the pressure of the campaign trail and political office without those qualities.

It's the rare politician who is a naive and weak little lamb. It just doesn't happen, because those types wither away in an instant from the rough and tumble of politics.

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