Life's not fair. And presidential politics isn't fair. You have to figure out a way to win.

Welcome back to another session of Ask Me Anything. And the question is from the warning community,

0:12.2

if Steve is right, that it is imperative for Biden in his campaign to hit Trump 24-7 for eight months,

0:20.2

is there anyone out there who believes that Biden has the stamina to do that?
