Do you worry about Joe?

WCD9973:

I’ll bite.
Ive been a Biden fan since my college days. Worked on the hill and he was genuinely one of the nicest, honest guys you could meet. While I actually found MOST of politicians on both sides really good people who just wanted to help the country, Biden stuck out as someone who really cared about everyone he knew.
He has always been a bad speaker. He is extremely smart. Knows the smallest details on the the most complex issues. And it ALWAYS seemed that his brain worked too fast for his mouth. I didnt know he had a stutter when he was a kid until he ran for VP, but it def made sense.
HIs head just wants him to say 1000 things at once and it has, and ALWAYS had come out jumbled. He would spend a lot of time rehearsing speeches. Not because he wasnt sure what he was saying, but in order to prevent it all coming out at once.
So - No -I dont worry about Joe at all because when i watch him now he is EXACTLY the same as he has ALWAYS been.

MEANWHILE -I do think Trump has started to show he has fallen to the pressures of the job. He has always sometimes done word salads and ALWAYS has said just dumb things. But he use to at least still say things that were somewhat based in fact (Stretching the truth for sure) or things i just dont agree with or pivot from questions asked to something else.
But now -He seems to not even understand questions he is asked. Cant seem to even make a point an is increasingly answering questions with “Thats nasty” or “unfair”. He seems to be using it as a filler more and more. A way to avoid saying he didnt understand the question or didn’t follow. He has gotten much much worse.

Excellent insights! Thanks for sharing this! I am sure everyone here is now assured that Biden is just fine.

The difference being, Trump has always been incoherent.

That was full of gloom and darkness.

Not so sure that is a winning hand.

It might be.

Joe Biden was not honest.

Camp · May 28, 2020, 2:51pm

It is reality.

It is not an attack.

That clip was painful to watch and it was only 2 minutes.

WCD9973 · May 28, 2020, 2:52pm

100,000 dead tend to be a dark event

WCD9973 · May 28, 2020, 2:52pm

Im sure you have some examples of him being dishonest -And not just something you disagree with.

Camp · May 28, 2020, 2:53pm

There is that number again.

Pace yourself.

WCD9973 · May 28, 2020, 2:53pm

Wow. What a somber, moving speech. Thanks for posting

WuWei · May 28, 2020, 2:54pm

Sam Donaldson did.

Camp · May 28, 2020, 2:54pm

Burisma.

Burisma really knocked out the veneer of a mostly honest good old Joe.

That is not even delving into the FISA stuff since it is unfolding.

He’s speaking to friends and families of the 100k people who lost their lives. It is the right approach, it invokes empathy and compassion.

Let’s compare it to Trump’s speech about this milestone.

Oh wait…

Camp · May 28, 2020, 2:56pm

You are better at this than I.

I tend to bristle at gloom.

WCD9973 · May 28, 2020, 2:57pm

You convinced me. I will not vote for him in 1988.
Got anything from say - the last 20 years?

WCD9973 · May 28, 2020, 2:59pm

Unfounded conspiracy theories are not lies regardless of how bad you want them to be.

WCD9973 · May 28, 2020, 2:59pm

Must be odd when you attend a memorial service for a loved one then.

TommyLucchese · May 28, 2020, 3:00pm

And you feel like being incoherent is a winner while accusing the other dude of being incoherent. Okay my dude.

WuWei · May 28, 2020, 3:01pm

Sure, and in a British accent.

TommyLucchese · May 28, 2020, 3:02pm

Sure it’s not. It’s just nonpartisan concern. Which is why you’ve defended all the random words that vomit out of Trump’s mouth. I don’t even have to go back a week to find him not unable to properly pronounce words but losing his way on a teleprompter somehow and struggling to get back. Or being a seventy plus year old man unaware of what insulin is for.

toreyj01 · May 28, 2020, 3:03pm

Got anything from this century?

All of this crap happened over 30 years ago, he’s been the VP since then and has done a lot of good things. Didn’t stop me voting for Obama and him 12 years ago and it won’t stop me now. You still have to contrast him with his competition. And in that comparison Biden is Mother Theresa.
