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!
