It was for me. A presidential candidate, the presumptive nominee, is not allowed to cuss out and threaten violence to a respectful citizen bringing up a political question at a campaigning event. That's gonna be a line crosser for me.
He didn’t threaten him. He was certainly defensive and confrontational but that plays well with many people, especially in gritty communities. I certainly don’t think it is disqualifying. He didn’t come to blows with anyone. There is a fine line between being confident and assertive and being abusive.
Rationalize it however you like. From my view, he essentially cussed out a respectful man bringing up a common political point (that I disagree with) for no reason, and asked the man if he wanted to take his ass outside (threatening violence). Ridiculous. I'm just can't be cool with that.
Yes... telling the man to take his ass outside is a threat or violence? On a side note I find it interesting that you are so concerned with Trump and Biden’s age and mental state when the candidate you support is older and is coming off a heart attack during his campaign. FWIW I don’t think any of them are really senile but I don’t like having men their age being the candidate. Sanders would be what, months short of 80 at his swearing in? Biden 78?... look at an actuary table. As for the confrontation between Biden and the autoworker; I don’t think it is a big deal. He has confronted people similarly in this campaign. I am sure someone will tell him to tone it down.
The rockets are laying enough bricks to join the masons whoops wrong thread. With all the brick laying the Rockets are doing Joe Biden can tell them they’re full of it.
I watched the video. He could be Obama's cool and diplomatic or he could be Joe's don't BS me. He pushed back on the lies against him. "Viral video" LOL. I don't see anything wrong with that other than the "take it outside" lol. Sorry, but people make too big a deal out of peanuts.
Yes, it's threatening violence. "Don't tell me that or I'm going to go outside with your ass" that is... you know, American slang for suggesting you gonna kick the person's ass? "Don't tell me or" - the threat part, go outside with your ass(slang for kicking the person's ass outside) - the violence part Threatening violence + cursing out a respectful citizen ='s unacceptable behavior for a president to ThatBoyNick. I already said I'm not overly concerned with their mental state earlier, I said it's definitely a problem, but not a deal-breaker because their cabinets will be doing all the work.
It looks like today is going to confirm the new Democratic coalition - maybe losing some 2016 working class Sanders voters who've moved on to Trump, and reinforcing the new suburbian voters that switched to Dems in 2018. The "new Democratic Party" seems to be collecting moderate, historically Republican voters, which bodes really well for November and all the downballot races. If Dems can convincingly take the center, they roll over the GOP.
With Biden taking Michigan, that's it. Our of the two left, he was my second choice but he won FAIR AND SQUARE. Let's focus all energy to helping Joe win against Trump.
