Biden said "they're great states, but they're small states." Morning Joe just played that part highplainsdem Feb 2020 #4

Though whether or not it was a good thing to say is, of course, more subjective.

Also see my post #11.

Look, we're talking about two states, that are great states, but they are small states and in fact they're not, how can I say it, representative of what the country looks like. And how can you go in and suggest that--before you get to states that have large minority populations and diverse populations--that in fact you know what the outcome's going to be.

Very Smart people and they know it's mostly white. Don't think it offended anyone.
Thought his interview was just fine and well received.

honestly, Joe has not been great on the campaign trail. It's too bad. I think his brand of politics wins the election, but he's not a good campaigner.
