63. He does know the event; he flubbed the number

Sat Aug 24, 2019, 12:04 PM

Aug 2019

the event and its significance matter more than getting the exact number or the exact date correct.

I'm sure there are many of the older generation and many who are not rock fans who can't recall the exact number.

I don't know the numbers of Parkland or Newtown any more. I rely on being able to look that up. Biden talks off the top of his head, and that is not a bad thing always. We don't want them stiff and scripted all the time either.

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

It puzzles me that both of you are puzzling over it when no one else seems puzzled over this. Princetonian Aug 2019 #38
