Honestly, the only problem I really have with Biden is superficial, and it’s mostly because most other people are superficial.
This election can only be won by breaking apathy. That takes a confident and strong speaker. Apathetic voters don’t watch the news every day. They don’t know what Biden is up to. But debates are like the Superbowl of politics, and even is they don’t watch the whole game, they won’t be able to avoid the highlights.
That performance did not inspire confidence. He was meek and paled next to Trump’s booming confident voice. Doesn’t matter that he was spewing shit, he sounded good doing it.
Could you imagine Obama doing that? Or Bill Clinton? Hell no. Those guys were popular because they had confidence. They oozed it, but not at the point where they appear arrogant.
Bidens strategy should have been to turn off his speaker whenever Trump talked and just guessing what he said and rebutting that. You can’t counter his every point, it takes far more work to dismantle a lie than it is to make one.
I know Biden is smart, I know he’s a skilled politician and I know that he’s got a hell of a staff and cabinet. And ultimately that’s really the biggest criteria for an administration.
I wouldn’t mind him tapping out and calling in a pitch hitter though. A stronger and more confident candidate, with Bidens endorsement, could take it. Bernie, but younger. Obama, but white (anything else is sadly a non-starter for too many purple states). Bill, but less pervy. That’s what will win the election.
Is it the age that bothers you or is it the cognitive decline/attitudes that typically come with age?
I don’t know much about Bernie but it seems like he doesn’t have much of the latter
Both.
Examples of declining cognition from Bernie?
I don’t have to give you any examples, I think he’s too old.
May your opinions be evidence-based, and your day good.
It doesn’t matter. Sanders chance came and went. At least he’s in capital hill still.
Well that’s not a very convincing argument.
I’m not arguing about anything.
Indeed
