In fact, by picking such an obvious insider it can't help but detract from his primary message.
In general not a big fan of Biden, but that's just b/c I disagree with his politics.

i don't think this is true, but it makes me chuckle. if im picking a doctor, or lawyer, don't i want the best? if im looking for anyone in elected office, don't i want the best? isn't that what the term "elite" means? why wouldn't i want the "best" in the president? or since this administration, have we lowered our standards so much, that just any old person will due?
