intent with his racist followers

Some are so desperate to imply not so subtly that Biden is like trump

Must be a very insecure time for them to resort to such tactics

It was planned and had a very different meaning when applied to Trump in his current environment since Trump panders to racist and their nomenclature.

Bannon is still whispering in Trump's ear I suspect. I often smell his boozy rot in Trump's words. This is but one incident.

Trump, on the other hand, thinks he never makes mistakes, so he keeps on doing the same things, year after year. Also, Trump loves stirring up racism, sexism, and bigotry, whereas Joe deliberately tries not to offend.

How Presidential. This recognizes you as a human being capable of acknowledging the suffering and pain of others. So not like what we have today in the White House. You have grace, compassion, empathy and class. All of which America desperately needs after the republiCon disasters of the last few decades and what is a real cluster of a you-know-what at present. Rock On Joe!!

candidates kids...well I guess Biden should be the candidate...Biden didn't make huge money in the Senate...in fact he was the poorest Senator. Unlike many politicians including some running now who are at the least millionaires. Despite the bullshit media who want Warren (she will lose the mid west so do they want Trump to win again?), Biden is still the front runner. I will vote for any Democrat but I believe Biden is the only candidate who beats Trump in a general.
