Joe Biden is excellent at delivering his message

...more than just simple 'messaging,' Joe delivers lines that have impact, give relevance to his position, and define the opposition.

As disjointed as the first debate was with Trump's interruptions, and in last night's where Trump tried several times to divert Joe to his scandal mongering, Joe managed to get in a dozen or so solid hits on Trump which are being repeated this morning on broadcast and cable news.

It really wasn't clear to me during the debate that his points would resonate through the din, but lo and behold, after each debate, Joe's remarks carried the coverage, cogent and substantive, providing a solid counter to Trump's rambling campaign prattle.

Biden did, so it was an easy call for those in the media. Besides, the Trumptanic is going down, and many in the media want to be on the winning side of history.

...nonsense responses as substantive. And the virtuousness of our guy doesn't automatically render the opposition's prattle moot.

Joe stands up very well in the split-screen clips that are being circulated. It's to his credit that he's effectively communicating, and portends a responsive and accessible presidency.

He did well, and the contrast with Trump is jarring.
