Imagine your grandfather, assuming he's still alive, deciding he deserved to be president. He's getting ready to throw his hat in the ring and really make a run for it. Your family would probably stage an intervention and try to talk some sense to him. Unfortunately, Joe Biden doesn't have anyone around him willing to do the same. Therefore, he's left blabbering and stuttering and misspeaking non-stop. Part of his affliction is no doubt age related, after all he's pushing 80, but he's really no different than he's ever been. Multiply him times 23 and you start to get a disturbing picture of the latest bumper crop of Democrat presidential candidates. Where is Hilary when she's need most?
