Joe Biden continues to try to catch up to Trump in the untrustworthy category, but even with this he is out of his league!

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/28/politics/joe-biden-south-africa-arrest-cnntv/index.html

No, Joe, you were not arrested in South Aftica. You were told you could not go where you wanted to go. Not the same thing.

One problem I've seen with Joe for a long time is that he is a fairly slow and deliberate thinker, but chose a career where you need to think fast on your feet and talk fast.  (etc.)

True, but not the problem I am talking about.

This is a problem that has been with him since the 1988 presidential election - he takes credit for things that did not happen more frequently than other candidates (among the Dems) do and on bigger issues. Then he has to walk it back, "clarifying" that that was not what he meant to have said. He does it in speeches, not just debates.
Just wondering what the democrats could have done over the last four years in establishing a better
slate of candidates to take on Trump  if they hadn’t spent their resources on Russia! and impeachment.

Dems gained a whole wave of resources and support impeaching trump and investigating only the most clearly apparent of trump’s treasonous copulations with Russia. The support is still rolling in. At least 3 of the Democratic candidates are 5 points up on trump before this week’s panic and wonderful illustration of both his mental illness and gross incompetence. The drooling flunkies pretending to be republican senators are the ones regretting spending the last of their minimal credibility defending your Orange Shitler, the walking abortion of your dreams.

Yeah, so?

She was running against the idea of a Donald Trump in 2016.

2020 Trump is out from behind the curtain.

http://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/02/trump-coronavirus-covid19-response-expertise-contempt.html

https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-tweet-slamming-obama-appointing-ebola-czar-zero-experience-resurfaces-after-pence-1489528

From the piece

Mike is really good at it, they're going to work very closely together and are both in the administration. I see them all the time so it really works. This isn't a 'czar'. This isn't going out and getting somebody that's never been in the administration. I have two people that are very talented and it's something I feel good about," Trump said.

The president highlighted Pence's experience as governor of Indiana when he dealt with an HIV outbreak in 2015, saying, "Anybody that knows anything about health care, they look at the Indiana model and it's been a very great success. It's been a tremendous model in terms of health care."



Very great?  Jed Bartlett would correct you on that one, Mr Trump


Now - this....

On How Hey, It Might Not Be That Bad: In a debate with his Republican opponent, Robert Ritchie, Bartlet ignites his podium with soaring rhetoric about how it’s his job to fight for all Americans. If there’s a silver lining here, we might have seen it Thursday, when Trump met with Obama. The meeting went better than anyone could reasonably expect, after such an acrimonious election season. They were only supposed to speak for 10 minutes, but ended up talking for about an hour and a half. Trump specifically said that he hoped that Obama would counsel him “many, many more times.” And then, under his breath, Trump said, “Very good man. Very good man.” Hope may not leave the White House with Obama, after all.



Hope.  Yes.  So, so true.  But HATE from the left hasn't allowed it.

Pence was "morally opposed" to needle exchange programs among IV drug users,  hence the outbreak in Indiana.   He only overcame his pious moralizing when a state of emergency was declared and political expediency demanded that he reverse his lethal policy position. 

-- sincerely,

Joseph Cotton.
