’s reelection campaign has portrayed Biden, again and again, as a doddering old fool who stumbles over words, forgets things and generally is not up to the job of being president.
“I’m sure there are Republicans and independents who can’t imagine crossing over to support a Democrat,” Kasich said. “They fear Joe may turn sharp left and leave them behind. I don’t believe that because I know the measure of the man. … No one pushes Joe around.” Kasich’s speech, for instance, would not have gone well with the Ohio delegation ― many of whom fought the Republican for decades ― drowning him out. Even a figure as broadly respected as former Secretary of State Colin Powell would have drawn a negative response.
Biden’s speech, which clocked in at a short 24 minutes, was the culmination of this effort. Biden weaved his own story about coming back from personal tragedy with his plans to help America come back from the medical and economic damage wrought by the coronavirus pandemic, along with a few signature Biden flourishes, like a quote from the Irish poet Seamus Heaney.
The convention proceeded in Biden’s fashion, rarely going deep into what exactly Biden would do to help solve the myriad problems the convention outlined, from gun violence to climate change to income inequality. Even Warren’s speech, in which she endorsed Biden’s plan to expand child care, did not delve into wonky details.
Any distorted brain can do that. It's a democrat hallmark. Belittle the opposition and distract from themselves. Hypocrites.
