A Long Shot

Steve Bullock @GovernorBullock 4h
As a kid, my grandpa took me to GA to teach me about a rural state Gov running for president.

He wasn't registering high in the polls.
He didn't have name recognition.
He was running on experience outside DC.

Folks called him a long shot, but he was in it to win it.

So am I.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

...his grandad couldn't just upload that precious pic to the internet.

He had to take it to get it developed, unless it was a Polaroid.
