Why Biden Is Leading

[emmaverybo]

13. He's leading because he is the most qualified candidate by far, has the ability to touch people's

hearts when he speaks, out of the gate had the most resonant message, and “reminds us of who we are.” He’s leading because he has proven leadership ability. He’s leading because he is one of
America’s most respected and loved politicians.

He’s leading because unlike any other candidate, he has stature on the world stage. He is leading with the most important Dem constituency, AA voters because he has been cultivating relationships with AA leaders and communities for decades, unlike some of his rivals who seem to have only recently discovered them. Detractors are surprised about his lead because they underestimate Joe Biden.

Many of us supporters are not surprised and know that there are many factors involved in Biden’s success thus far in this campaign as Biden has multiple strengths. And ironically, though he may get tongue tied on occasion in debate, he’s leading because so often it is Joe Biden who has “the best words.”

Joe Biden reminded all of us of what a presidential president would sound like

In a fiery and blunt speech slamming the tenor, tone and words of President Trump as the nation reels from white nationalist domestic terrorism, former vice president Joe Biden reminded all of us of what a presidential president sounds like. His words were stirring. His delivery was passionate. And they were befitting a man who kicked off his campaign with a video decrying Trump’s shameful response to Charlottesville.
This is no knock on the other Democratic presidential candidates, particularly Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who gave his own speech on Wednesday at the historic Mother Emanuel church in Charleston, S.C., where a white supremacist murdered nine African American parishoners in 2015. All of the candidates have a moral core and fundamental senses of decency and empathy that Trump never possessed. Yet, unlike teleprompter Trump’s hollow remarks about the carnage in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, Biden came at his speech in Iowa with an authority that is hard to match.
