Most of the country doesn’t deserve him, but we can hope he brings out the best in our country again.
I remember in the 2008 early primary debates, Biden said that the only way Rudy Giuliani (seen as possible Republican frontrunner at the time) seemed to know how to construct a sentence was by using “a noun, a verb, and 9/11”.

I believe politics in a democracy should be considered sacred and the highest calling.
