Oh, no doubt, and I’d trust either of them (or Klobuchar, or hell, even Steyer or Bloomberg) to pick competent and smart people for that. (Bernie, not so much. Tulsi, not at all.)

But: calming the world is going to be a huge job that the next president shouldn’t and can’t completely delegate, even to a really solid SoS and/or VP.

The world of 2021 (if we last that long) is going to want the new president, him- or herself, out front as the healer-in-chief. We used to have a guy who was really good at that, dammit. And for all of Biden’s flaws, which are many and which are deeply worrisome, my gut is telling me he’s going to get a bump as people look to him as being the guy best prepared to take on that particular role.

Doesn’t biden also have the benefit of personally knowing many foreign leaders?
