Larry D. Lauer

He made his case very well at a press conference yesterday. He thinks he should and can finish the job he started. He thinks the job will be too complicated for someone else.

But he did look frail… and has been looking and acting frail for some time. What’s more…he thinks only HE can win the election.

However, it might be just the time for someone with “fresh thinking” to represent the U.S. A person with foreign affairs experience and knowledge would be welcomed by NATO members. And I bet NATO members would even help this person succeed. This person should have a strong commitment to the idea of NATO and be prepared to champion its cause.

Biden’s knowledge should not go away. He should always be available to counsel his replacement. In fact, he should help with the transition, and announce his willingness to play a roll in it.
