Glad you're impressed. People inside the Democratic Party have always said Biden is style not substance. The guy is a trainwreck that's why he was muzzled during the campaign. He'd come up with another, Obama "the first main stream African-American who is articulate bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." Oh yeah his claim about marching during the civil rights movement, except he didn't.
Top half of his law school class, #76 out of 85.
Guy is a big phony and this goes back to his first Presidential run which lasted about 3 months until
people found out what he was really about.

Please refer me to any actual evidence that people inside the Democratic Party say he is style not substance.

Some of the gaffs you & others are pointing out is the opposite of style over substance. He's a 78 year old man who has tragically lost a wife, a daughter, and a son. He has a stuttering problem. He rode a train to work for most of working career.

Again...not trying to put Biden up on a pedestal. But, no one can seem to support Trump's actions as President with anything other than criticisms of Biden. Who, by my count, has been President for zero days so far.

OMG Minor; you have really drank the blue koolaid.

Biden doesn't stutter at all. He is, in fact, a quite polished speaker. I hired him to speak at a law review convention when I was in law school, and had a lengthy conversation with him after he spoke. It was after his first run for president. He is old now, and like many his age, his capacities have diminished. How diminished? We can all make our assessments, but without question his election team very openly and conspicuously kept him hidden so as not to allow Joe to manifest how diminished his capacity was and is. I promise there will be books written by insiders in the next 5-10 years.

Biden's wife died many years ago, when she drove into an oncoming semi. Joe used her death for decades to gain the exact sympathy you obviously have, in order to promote his political aspirations. Worse, he mischaracterized the event by suggesting that the accident was the semi-driver's fault, when it wasn't at all, and Joe claimed that the truck driver had been drinking, which was entirely false and slanderous. These things are evidence of very poor character, and dishonesty.

As for style over substance, that label applies to almost all politicians, on both sides. The reality is that American voters don't know much about what legitimate and relevant issues are in an election, and decide who they are going to vote for based on what other people feed them from the media or in their personal lives. Some people vote based on party, and nothing more. Some vote on who they find more physically or sexually attractive. And yes, some vote based on hating or loving what the candidate tweets. Voters are too easy to manipulate; particularly in national or statewide elections. Folks dont know what good government is or should be, and as generations pass, Americans have lost sight how our country's government was established, why it was established the way it was, how it is supposed to work, and why liberty, is so important. As this last year has so clearly illustrated, Americans have no appreciation for the goose that has been laying the golden eggs for America and Americans, of all colors and creeds, and have been too willing to piss away so much. Sad!

Joe Biden is in fact a stutterer. If you can't accept simple statements of reality, there is no point to having a back and forth discussion.

The links you shared are not proof that Biden has a stuttering disability. Joe Biden has a pandering defect. He professes to share the plight of any and every special group he can. When speaking to a black audience Joe will have them believe he too was born a poor black child. If talking to Italians, Joe will tell stories of his mothers old Sicilian family pasta recipe. If Hispanic crowd, the guy with wear a sombrero. He shares this characteristic with his VP, a daughter of Jamaican and Indian And he will identify with any disability he can get away with. But the screw-ups that get covered up by the MSM and played a lot on conservative outlets are not stutters at all. They are mental screw-ups, and forgetting simple things. There is a huge difference between those and a stutter. I honestly dont recall ever hearing Joe stutter.

I am surprised there are so many here who seem to buy into the Joe Biden being a great guy or even competent guy stuff; just as a am surprised when I see how many people defend some of the dumb things Trump says or does. But do claim that Joe's gaffs are "stuttering" is off the charts silly. If you had an elderly father who was doing those things you would be worried.

The accident was caused by Joe's wife's negligence; and that is irrefutable. She drove into the lane of an oncoming truck. That isnt Joe's fault, and everyone has driving moments when they lose concentration and make mistakes. Its a horrible tragedy irrespective of fault. What puts Joe's character in question is that he himself has absolutely lied about the accident, and , knowing the truck driver did nothing wrong, and knowing there was absolutely no evidence or suggestion that the guy had been drinking, Joe completely fabricated a slanderous lie, and for years claimed that the truck driver caused the accident and was drunk. He used that lie during campaign speeches. That is the double-character-whammy; 1) deliberately telling a monster of a lie, and 2) using your wife's death to bolster your political career.

Scranton Joe has no scruples.

I was curious about this a while back because it seemed this campaign was the first anyone had heard of Biden's stutter. Turns out he had talked about it on at least a few occasions, example: https://www.washingtonian.com/2009/02/01...ls-me-joe/

Personally, it still concerns me that this stutter that he apparently had beaten seems to have come back with a vengeance with older age. And no, I don't think saying that is off limits with the president of the United States.

This is your actual rebuttal? Everything he said is easy to verify. I feel like this is news to you somehow?

Let's say that Biden twisted the story a bit. This is nothing is comparison to Trump's thousand and thousands of false and misleading claims: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...ng-claims/ The sad part is that he probably would have been re-elected if he wasn't his own worst enemy.

Why can't you just say he lied and Trump is a piece of ****. It's not that hard.

Yeah Trump was so bad, he only got 12 million more
popular votes than 2016.

Dear Boca Rocket,
Yes, but more people voted for the other guy because Trump was so bad.

We get it major. You don't like Trump, because you don't like his personality. Just like you did not like Fleck because of his personality. You criticize both before they had a opportunity to accomplish, and predicted with both that they would not accomplish much. On the other hand, based on your keen insight, you conclude both Biden and Lester to be better choices to lead the country and our football team.

With all due respect, please forgive me for not recognizing your genius for assessing leadership.

I never liked Trump's personality, and didn't like PJ Flecks style and mannerisms much either. But if you measure substance over style, whether you like to admit it or not, both were men who accomplished. Many like you are perfectly willing to sacrifice the strength of our country because you don't like how a guy communicates. Ignore the fact that the decisions Trump made allowed our economy to blossom, strengthened our security, led to tremendous inroads in peace in the middle East, allowed the country to gain energy Independence, returned soldiers home, lowered unemployment by large percentages, bolstered small business, and, inspired a large contingency of Americans in a way they had not been inspired for many years. Yet, you continue to complain about his tweets, and suggest he is dishonest; which when compared to the incredible lack of character manifest for decades by Biden, is irony at the highest level.

But again, you are the same guy who criticized PJ Fleck for years, and laughed at his conspicuous incompetence when it came to turning our football program into a championship contender. After all, how could the guy be a winner? Major said he couldn't coach, and didn't know what he was doing; not to mention you didn't like his loud and lewd personality.

You really have a way of predicting and segregating successful people. Thanks for sharing your divine wisdom.

Great rationalization. Trump is disliked because of his personality. Simple as that.

How about Trump is disliked by many Americans because:

He is attempting to destroy faith in American democracy by claiming the election was a fraud. He knows he lost. He just won't admit it.

He is a racist

He lies

He spreads conspiracy theories

He knew COVID was bad and told the American people not to worry & it would quickly go away

He backs our advisories over US Intelligence Agencies

He often denigrates women/talks about grabbing women's private parts

He disrespects the military/veterans/POW's/gold star recipients

He makes fun of handicapped people

One significant thing I have noticed socially about America lately is that those who accuse others of being racist these days are in fact the definition of racist themselves. Identity politics is a left wing concept. What is racism? Making judgments and conclusions based solely on race. It is sad that the left has used race as a mechanism to push for power.

Extremely well said, and...sadly true.

God Bless America!!! . . . and GO BRONCOS!!!

Agreed, He needs to be given a chance to lead and show what he is about. I have my reservations and concerns but I hope he can try and restore some semblance of normalcy and help push policies that help Americans and find ways to bridge the gap between the left and right.

I also had my doubts about Trump in the beginning but feel like he did a good job as far as policies are concerned. Would have liked to see him stay off Twitter and make more friends and less enemies.
