Joe Biden was and is a very decent human being, despite some mistakes, and an effective legislator and later Vice-President. But his time has passed and I agree with those who feel he’s running out of duty and concern for country. He has lost his spunk and I honestly believe he does not have it in him to come back with a quick punch when the Orange Hulk starts stalking him on the debate stage (as he did with Hillary) while hurling insults and threats of locking him up.
You see, I believe Biden made a huge tactical error in not forcefully fighting back when attempts to smear him and his son on Ukraine came to light. Faint denials were not enough, he should have gone on a media blitz demanding that Trump present proof, demanding that an open and public investigation be initiated and even suing Trump for defamation. He did none of those things thus allowing the cloud of malfeasance to fester and grow. In addition, as a politician Biden should have known that being pure and innocent is not enough because one has to give the “appearance” of such. Thus, he should have anticipated that the optics of Hunter Biden joining Burisma were not good and could be exploited for political gain by a corrupt opponent in the future and he should have warned Hunter, such as it’s happening now.
Biden’s inability to see the optics lead to him refusing to appear on Sunday morning political programs while other Democratic presidential hopefuls jumped at every opportunity to appear. Pete Buttigieg appeared on five of those programs of Sunday February 9.
That Biden was grieving is understandable but not a good enough excuse. Best of luck Joe and many thanks for your service to this country.
