"let alone being capable of making an independent decision or heaven forbid having an independent thought".... presumably you know Joe personally and better than most...
...that aside, ive found the best performed leaders in business and politics have always had exceptional talent around them and know how to effectively manage that team...how did the nameless ones team come across to American voters and perform?
... on the whole, the collective thoughts of a team guided by a trusted leader and their ability to achieve established goals are the real measure of success..eg. vaccination numbers in a certain POTUS first 100 days
