…On a second look, I like what I’m seeing…. Along with many millions of people, I was mighty impressed by Biden’s mid-September interview with Stephen Colbert. Talking with frankness about his faith and how he’s coped with more than his share of loss in his life — in addition to the death in May of his 46-year-old son […]

Here’s an idea: Biden should run to rescue the Democratic Party from the fringe. Much has been made of Donald Trump’s candidacy and what his brand of politics says about today’s Republican Party. Much less has been said about the changes taking place with the Democrats.

But with the recent slow drip of details about her emailing habits as Secretary of State, combined with a history of tough media scrutiny, there is concern about her candidacy.
