Karl Rove statement about people watching Joe Biden "That's an old guy and he's doing his best."We know that Trump and his minions attack opponents in the areas where he's vulnerable. We saw it with him calling Hillary "crooked" when he's a notorious crook. We saw them attack Hillary's foundation as a corrupt, when later his foundation was shut down as nothing more than a shell to pay his personal expenses. Likewise, Trump, who can't complete a sentence; has unhinged rants; has about a 200 word vocabulary; can't read from a teleprompter with out botching the words (e.g. Yo-semite) has his sycophants trying to tell everyone it's Biden who has mental problems.
Well, Biden just finished a long acceptance speech in which was perfect and put his mental acuity in full display. Joe Biden's speech wins praise from left and right – but not from Trump "On Fox News, the anchor Chris Wallace said Biden’s was an “enormously effective” speech, adding that Biden “blew a hole” in Donald Trump’s repeated characterization of him as a candidate in decline.
“It seems to me that after tonight Donald Trump is going to have to run against a candidate, not a caricature,” Wallace said. “The Democrats have had a good convention, now it’s the Republicans’ turn.”
The conservative host Laura Ingraham, speaking on Fox News, said Biden “beat expectations” but the speech was “devoid of any policy other than universal masking. But he delivered a good speech for what he was doing, it was very emotional stuff … It was very well delivered.”
The Republican strategist Karl Rove called the speech “excellent”."
Biden didn't read his speech perfectly and perfect mental acuity isn't required to read a speech. He flubbed an important line at the end.
From a couple of days ago ...
His was the only speech I watched. It was the only one that mattered.
He read it all pretty well.
I kept waiting for him to read the directions off the screen like "Show empathy" and "Use soft sincere voice" and "Use firm voice approaching anger but don't show anger" but he dodged that landmine.
There were only a couple of minor eff-ups ... until the very end when he said “There’s never been anything we’ve been able to accomplish when we’ve done it together,”.
It reminded me of when Joey Tribbiani told the Soap Opera writer he never watches the Soaps ... So close.
Yes, Biden has mental problems. Might as well deal with that fact. Or is that what your post was doing?
