Want to move onto next story unless we close that w/in 5 minutes. It will be superfluous.

There's a better story, I would rate it higher.

Here is Biden --- Bring his face in tight, the eye shadow drop is a superficial way of imposing the mourning.

ref:  Get the composite image you used for the McCain story that went big w/ the composite of McCain/Trump, draw it in 30% so it centralizes on McCain's face.

I will see about Biden.

There was 1 photo available for reuse on Google where Biden has some emotion that would fit, but it was from when Obama was giving him the congressional medal.  Probably not going to work there.

McCain is dead, Biden was his friend for four decades. What do you see when you see the images? "McCain & Biden Spent The Afternoon Speaking About Tax De-Regulation In The Tractor Industry" is what I see... (speaking candidly)

The Trump post has more potential. It's also more timely.

Biden will run medium. Trump will run medium high.

Nothing is worth doing unless done right.
