You guys, Biden was giving Trump a DIG, an insult! Hortensis Feb 2018 #30

Yeah, but for me it was that Joe did NOT need to add Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #37

But he's also correct Orrex Feb 2018 #38

Oh I know, and when Joe does this stuff it does not surprise me, he is the ultimate diplomat Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #39

Oh, OK. I was misreading your meaning. Orrex Feb 2018 #40

That is all good with me, and now I say lets GOTV Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #48

Yes, lets! Hortensis Feb 2018 #55

What makes you think Trump knows what "disingenuous" means? PJMcK Feb 2018 #69

Actually, there is a very good chance he does not know that word. Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #70

I like Joe, but, sorry, what he said is NOT helpful!! WTF!!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2018 #56

But we love Joe, he says what he says and as Hortensis said, it is Joe's way Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #58

Just wish Joe would give a little more thought to what comes out of his mouth... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2018 #62

One wonders how often Trump accidentally tells the truth. Orrex Feb 2018 #41

Telling the truth is always an accident for him. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2018 #43

How is that giving anyone cover jberryhill Feb 2018 #6

Because saying that DT might not plan to be "disingenuous" pnwmom Feb 2018 #8

no, that doesn't follow. malthaussen Feb 2018 #16

Maybe you should read his whole interview and not just the cherry picked portion. Egnever Feb 2018 #52

When we suggest doing otherwise, we are above that treestar Feb 2018 #65

Perhaps this is Joe's way of using reverse physiology or goading him along MagickMuffin Feb 2018 #10

Lawyers are advocates. malthaussen Feb 2018 #12

I've seen a few lawyers on news programs say the same thing. It isn't just Joe and he waited until chowder66 Feb 2018 #13

VP Biden is correct. H2O Man Feb 2018 #18

There Seems A Fairly Easy Way To Goad That Event ProfessorGAC Feb 2018 #51

Trump is oppositional. He would not want to seem to be taking advice from tblue37 Feb 2018 #19

But Trump probably associates Biden with Obama and if it's anything Obama, Vinca Feb 2018 #20

Biden's crediting Trump with not planning to be disingenuous. pnwmom Feb 2018 #21

No, that's flattering the Donald to get his undivided attention. Vinca Feb 2018 #22

DT doesn't understand a big word like disingenuous. pnwmom Feb 2018 #24

Very true. And Scarborough has been surprisingly on the mark lately. Vinca Feb 2018 #29

It doesn't mean he's honest, or even intends to be honest. malthaussen Feb 2018 #23

Disingenuous means that someone is being dishonest. It isn't the same pnwmom Feb 2018 #25

Are we really looking that close for nits to pick about our own? Wounded Bear Feb 2018 #26

Ya think Trump listens to Biden? HopeAgain Feb 2018 #27

No. But I think lots of people who are wavering might listen to Biden. And what they would hear pnwmom Feb 2018 #36

Trump's predicament is he believes his lies loyalsister Feb 2018 #28

Biden was saying, rather slyly, that trump can't help himself from lying. nt TeamPooka Feb 2018 #33

No, he was just being his usual nice self, crediting Trump with the possibility pnwmom Feb 2018 #35

Reverse psychology. MrsCoffee Feb 2018 #44

It isn't reverse psychology to credit Trump with the possibility of being honest. n't pnwmom Feb 2018 #46

"You'd advise DT NOT to do the interview with Mueller." NCTraveler Feb 2018 #49

Seems like he nailed it to me. Egnever Feb 2018 #53

He is hit or miss. NCTraveler Feb 2018 #57

When taken in context there's nothing wrong with that. He was calling trump a liar. Egnever Feb 2018 #60

Joe being Joe. NCTraveler Feb 2018 #66
