connects emotionally with his audience and is so authentic much of the time overshadows the
glitches which he himself caught tonight. And he does not disrespect his fellows like Cory Booker did with his cheap laugh line. Further, Booker completely misstated Biden’s stance.

You don’t get it, but many do. Not that you are wrong—just that he gets a pass on speech glitches for a reason. Not going to go over his resume of accomplishments but no jabbering talks to as many influential people all over the world and effectively influences them.

He is actually, despite wording glitches, a highly successful communicator, The proof is in the pudding, which he has to offer.

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

Kick! Hekate Nov 2019 #4

He's been in the field actually doing what a lot of them can only talk about. Liked his optimism at emmaverybo Nov 2019 #5

Thought he did well too, although I couldn't watch it as closely as I wanted. Hoyt Nov 2019 #6

I don't think so either. Although Lawrence did his best to hurt Biden. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #24

Everyone knows he was referring to Carol Moseley Braun, first black woman elected to the Senate sop Nov 2019 #9

And saying Carol Mosely Braun was unimportant is insulting a black woman senator! The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #18

Very insulting. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #20

He didn't say she was unimportant - he said her endorsement didn't mean much StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #23

She has been out of the Senate for 20 years, The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #26

I think O'Donnell was very disrespectful toward Carol Moseley Braun...what arrogance! Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #45

Biden will probably Cha Nov 2019 #10

Lawrence O'Donnell totally exaggerated the reference the to first black woman senator, The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #12

Yep. See reply 14. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #16

This is why I don't watch Lawrence O'Donnell's show anymore...I don't like his treatment of Biden. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #17

I've liked his show at times, but O'D kind of flopped on Maher & Colbert. Haven't watched in months. Hoyt Nov 2019 #27

And then O'Donnell said the endorsement of Carol Mosley Braun was The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #21

My biggest problem with Biden was foreign policy Martin Eden Nov 2019 #42

My advice is don't live in the past...we had been attacked...and many good Dems who objected to Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #46
