I'm not disagreeing with you, because on the face of it it does seem as though he's playing God politics. I'm just thinking that all those statements aren't exclusive to each other, since they're all true, and he's just pointing out the hypocrisy.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
