For those who need a reminder

I've been reading some posts that are not complimentary of Joe, accusing him of not attacking Trump enough in the debate tonight or gee, he won't do well against Trump in a debate unless he toughens up his attack and similar anti-Joe stuff.

Well golly gee, if you need a reminder of how Joe can perform against Trump, here he is lifting the last Democratic convention to it's feet.




Joe can and will expose Trump throughout the campaign. And IMHO, it's what Joe does better than than almost anyone I know.

difference between Biden and the others is that he’s not going in for the knock out on his rivals.

The election will be fought for on many more bases than the debate platform.

Joe's been taking shots at Chump all along. But the one last night is a classic.

Trump was much to quick to insult and nickname Joe, because he fears him, as well he should.

5. Oh, so now he's not taking the fight to Trump enough?

Prior to this complaint, he was talking too much about Trump, acting as if he had the nomination tied up and had already entered the General Election. How arrogant, yada, yada.

I think we have to accept the fact that regardless of what Joe Biden says or does there will be catty voices ready to pounce. The most ridiculous complaint recently was his use of the word 'kid' while talking to Kamala Harris. Something to the effect: You going to go easy on me, kid?

Outrage du jour. The sour voices from Critic Land, those who find fault with everything. Humorless, too. I'm still trying to decide if this is the result of a humorless gene, some sort of cross-wiring or if people work at being sour pusses.

I'd anticipated that Biden would be a major target from the Left and the Right. What I didn't anticipate was how lame the whining would become. Thus far, none of it has wounded the Lion in Winter.

Hear Joe roar!

We need to offer voters a genuine, caring, compassionate and experienced candidate. That candidate is Biden. Sure, Biden will beat Trump “like a drum”, but he will also bring us back from the dark side.

I was a Clinton delegate and I remember that speech. I met Joe Biden in person at a private fundraiser after the Houston debate. I brought three floor speech signs from the convention that I got Joe to sign.
