One advantage Biden has that infuriates Trump...

is that he doesn't take it personally. At least not openly. He doesn't lose his shit at personal attacks, and considers his responses. Trump hates that. He wants people that are more like him, that get into his meaningless back and forth scrimmages while the real battles are being won in background.

Biden retains focus. Like the question at his presser about his cognitive abilities. He turned it around and made it a comparison of he and Trump, without actually attacking Trump. He just said, "I look forward to that contest" with a smile.

Stay cool Joe. You got this, and we got your back.

2. I've met him

Over the years here in Delaware. We're a small state, and I've been to various barbecue gatherings on his behalf when he was a Senator (many at a local fire hall). He's very approachable and affable. And he has had a life that has proved he is resilient.

I've bumped into our other senator, Tom Carper, at the YMCA and grocery store (at 10 pm a couple years ago). He's also friendly, but seems more reserved that Joe.

Ideologically I'm more in the Sanders/Warren camp, but I gotta tell ya, I'm really starting to warm up to Uncle Joe.

4. That question got my blood boiling. I wanted to momsmack him aside the head for being a jerk.

My answer would have been something along the lines of

Did you listen and understand what I was saying and can you say the same for the other guy

But Joe handled it well and you know that man was a trumper.

8. I believe it was a Fox reporter who asked that

And Biden didn't call him nasty. He didn't call Fox fake news. He didn't make the reporter sit down while he called on someone else. It had to be weird for the pool reporters not to have the subject rip on them for their questions.

13. I wonder. Has Trump ever driven anything more exciting than a golf cart in his life?

Seems doubtful. Always rode around in limos his whole pampered life.

6. Joe is a good looking naturally aged and healthy man

Trump is a grotesque slob desperately trying to pretend he is young and virile and the more he tries the more repulsive he is. Talking more about physical attributes but their minds, personalities, humor, and abilities mirror their outward appearances.

18. I think the thing that infuriates Trump the most about Biden
Wed Jul 1, 2020, 11:35 AM

is that he is having a really hard time attacking a respected white guy - it was (and is) much easier for him to attack a respected woman (white or black).
