30. Then this shouldn't be big deal.

Going into the lion's den here folks. Getting indignant about media attention to Biden's words is pointless. If he's the nominee, he's going up against the sleaziest politician I've ever seen in my life. Trump will distort and outright fabricate anything and everything he can, whether Biden makes a verbal flub or not.

Big fuckin' deal.

There was a time when the right wing crapped all over soon-to-be President Obama for his use of teleprompters.
Eventually, it became clear to the public that the objection was all the Right had, and Obama went on to win.

There's no need to be sensitive over this. It'll pass. If that's all they've got, they're fucked.

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