I really don't know why people said before that Joe Biden is uninspiring...

Joe Biden is the most emotionally in touch and empathic presidential candidate I’ve ever seen, and the most down to earth candidate and also speaks pretty well in speeches. Being in touch emotionally is important in mustering passion that is the fuel for pushing for change.

eloquent, fiery, barnburner oratory. That's not Biden's style. He's a good speaker but in a more intimate, less flamboyant way that's just as effective. Now especially, when the contrast is with a narcissistic, self-centered, obnoxious asshole like Trump, Biden's warm, sympathetic style is really persuasive.
