What if Joe Biden is right? What if his decision to run for re-election as President is NOT the ego-gratification of a long-suffering second-tier politician who accidentally made it to the White House? What if he is NOT saying “I told ya so” to “all the people who’ve looked down on me all my life” (including Barack Obama)? What if he is NOT just trying to find some way to protect his son Hunter from the demons–both Hunter’s own and the Republican ones–by controlling the Executive Branch for another four years? What if it is NOT a decision foist on him in a semi-senescent state by “Dr. Jill and the Inner Circle”? What if it his own well-reasoned decision?

What if there are no other Democratic Party politicians capable of winning the next presidential election against whomever the Republican Party nominates. Doesn’t matter who: Trump or DeSantis or Haley or Christie. What if there are no Democratic Party politicians capable of handling the duties and responsibilities of President of the United States of America? What if there are no Democratic Party politicians who can defend the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic? What if there are no Democratic Senators, Congressmen or Congresswomen, Governors, Cabinet Secretaries, or wives–scorned or adored–of former presidents who could get elected or, if elected, make a decent president?

That is what Joe Biden is saying by his decision to run for re-election at an advanced age.

What if he is right?
