(1,896 posts)I very much doubt the dictionary would agree that's a word, but I'm going to run with it anyway.
At any rate, it's something we need to work through with Biden. Some of us have known for years that he's free with his hands and occasionally says the darnedest things. We have an opinion of Biden which takes that into consideration already. I do believe some are attempting to use this against Biden, but I also believe some just need to sort out how they feel about Biden's, ah, eccentricities. And even those of us who are familiar with his tendencies could use a good example of how he'll handle them given where he is in life and where society is--because this absolutely will come up in a general election.
To lay all my cards on the table, my first choice is Harris, my second is Buttigieg, based on perceived merit. I'm actually pondering a switch to Biden whatever his faults because I absolutely could not stomach Sanders and Biden might be our best chance of shutting that down the quickest and minimizing the fallout.
I really do bear him no malice, but I do believe it's a fair question and we have to see how he handles it. I thought his press release in response to the last one was pretty encouraging in that respect.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
