Joe and Obama's history are full of these statements when running and then blaming the GOP and American voters as a whole as an excuse to do little, but please the donor class and start negotiating with conservatives by meeting them 80%. Let's be clear, though, defeating Trump is the first step out of America's mess and then we can take on the task of going on beyond the tepid centrism of the Clinton-Obama years.
What's the difference between him talking here and the soundbites of gaffes? I guess editing, but he still sounds way sharper, cognitively, that Trump here. Of course, in the real world, you can't compare charisma and speaking ability to cognitive ability, but that's an argument the Repubs have been dying to have.
Could have been handled better but assuming old Joe and his handlers could have done better is pure unfounded faith.
As much as I hate the business as usual brand of politics in the country, as little hope I have that Joe would seriously progress this country to where it needs to be, holy **** would I take that in a heartbeat over what Trump is offering. The complete mind breaking decisions to be anti-science, anti-math during a pandemic is unreal, the environmental, education, and social program destruction is unreal, the corruption and seriously dangerous levels of authoritarianism are absolutely terrifying. I'm putting aside inner-party politics until Trump is out of office, and will be referring to Biden as Big Dick Joe from now until he takes office, after that, we can go back to the reality of wanting serious progress.
Anyone with an ounce of empathy, decency, and honesty could have done better. Trump has lied every step of the way, and talked about anything and everything other than about the sick and dying Ameticans. He's simply a horrible man.
This will surprise you:- https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/25/us/politics/coronavirus-red-blue-states.html
Curious how you think that article (from a few months ago, btw) defends trump's failure as president of the United States? Are you surprised that the sates and cities with the most population and greatest population density happen to be "blue states"? How does that defend trump's lack of leadership? How does that defend trump ignoring scientific and medical experts?
Curious how you think that data from just 2 months ago is irrelevant? There were already almost 100k dead so how does that excuse your blue state leadership? Trump followed the early advice from CDC experts that masks were not necessary and is somehow to blame for the mask fiasco? Explain that.
Nah, Trump is a racist fool with some heinous immigration policies Obama started to go along with cutting venues for legal immigration. Biden is a fool with the comment but the writer is going through a lot of stretching to defend Trump.
