Rep Gerry Connolly says that Biden was the quickest study of long documents

[applegrove]

as a Senator. Faster at getting to the heart of the matter than anybody else.

1. Joe is the real deal. So thankful for him...

[Doodley]

2. And Trump is the slowest study of short documents.

[peggysue2]

5. Trump is a slow study . . .

of picture books. LOL.

What a relief it will be to have someone in the WH who has a sense of history, a sense of dignity for the Office of the Presidency and respect for the Rule of Law.

I miss that!

13. Do you really think he can read?

[LakeArenal]

3. Just one more qualification.

[CatMor]

9. I bet Mayor Pete can match him.

From what I've seen of Mayor Pete, he's quite the intelligent, thoughtful person.

I respect VP Biden and I am not at all surprised that he has the ability to quickly evaluate and drill-down to the important parts of documents. I have no doubt this is a skill that he used to help Obama when the two were in office. The intellectual power between the two of them was really great. Not matched by any GOP Presidents/VPs in the last 40 years.

I'd put money on Mayor Pete being able to do this. Every interview I watch with him makes me more impressed with his intellect and ability.

10. Oh I love Mayor Pete's intellect. Don't get me wrong. He seems brilliant

with saliency and down to earthness that is not always there in brilliant people. But we can't let Biden get falsely painted.

[bitterross]

14. You are correct.

We should not let ANY candidate be falsely painted. Doing so buys into the petty politics of the GOP.

One of the candidates will be THE candidate. We MUST come together to support that person. It will be far easier to do so if we do not have to wade through trying to correct a load of BS about the person when the time comes.

I am with you on the matter.

[PatrickforO]

11. That is an interesting and useful observation for the voting base (us).

Thanks!

To me, either means he is a smart man AND/OR that he is smart enough to surround himself with good staff.

Both of which are must-have characteristics for a president.

[applegrove]

15. There are other kinds of smarts in politics. Biden seems to have all the kinds.

He's a retail politician, he knows details of policy.
