NYTJoe Biden is the epitome of patience. That's how he did it. Patience, decency, civility and genuine love for country. In the weeks since the election, he has grown in stature, exuding calm, patience, unflappability, and confidence.
Prior elections never really served Joe's talents. Now, with the country almost in flames, in a post-truth society torn apart by ugly emotions, this calm, determined man offers a sort of balm to our tortured emotions.
He's rising to the occasion even more beautifully than I ever thought possible. What a testament to longevity and the power of patience.
