Indeed I am, but a dose of realism is needed. The Democrats can now hide Biden in the basement and let Trump self destruct while Republicans in Congress continue to display disunity as their virtue. I am shocked Biden pulled it off, but he did.
Not sure if it is intended, but you have a real Shleprock vibe going over there.
I hope you're joking. Tonight, to the extent that America saw the speech, Biden may have lost the election. First off there was over an hour of squinting, yelling and looking befuddled to be parsed out in 10 - 20 second Memes and Tweets over the next 8 months.
I agree that that's what they're going to count on, but I don't see it happening. No one in November is going to care that Biden said "yeah, I'm old" in March. 2020 was conducted under extremely odd circumstances. Letting Trump have a campaign more like 2016... I'm not seeing that as an advantage for the Democrats.
I thought he looked good at times, but befuddled and angry more often.
LOL he was too energetic crushing the narrative...Drink up
No we often commented on how Biden was an angry old man and seemed to be at his nastiest when jacked up on his anti-dementia medications.
Again, it wasn't about Biden's energy. Like Green said, Biden at times was like "spider monkey on Red Bull". It's about Biden being angry and frustrated about not getting his way. He's the old guy in a nursing home the care givers dread because he swings from being in a stupor one moment to a screeching, angry old guy waving his fists at the sky.
He was probably a little jacked up from the limo ride through the Palestinian protestors, over and above his clarity meds
I agree and frankly as someone who is hoping Trump beats Biden in November I'm thrilled at how the State of the Union speech went tonight. Biden was unsympathetic and angry. As you noted there were moments in which he was lucid and presented the material well but there were a lot more times were he slurred his words and screwed up the text. Add in his strange facial contortions, constant squinting and overt anger and Biden no longer offers a viable alternative to Trump.
Biden showed none of the old man with dementia that MAGA likes to accuse him of. He was energetic and forceful the entire speech. I doubt that many MAGA members could speak in public for two minutes intelligently on any topic, including those on this site, while Biden went for over an hour. Public speaking with the pressure he was under can be exhausting. Biden showed none of that. I’ve not heard Trump talk with any intelligence for two minutes on any topic. Just the opposite. He can’t stay on topic, usually lying about himself or our country. When has Trump talked positively about anything, or told the truth about anything? Haven’t you also been amazed at the number of clips showing Trump talking nonsense that have been made public in recent weeks? I think you have the dementia label on the wrong guy.
it must come down to voting for the machine.
He didn’t disown it. Biden called out Trump for blocking for political gain a bipartisan bill that the Border Patrol strongly endorsed.
True, but MAGA will never admit that. However, I think independent voters will.
A terrible bill that does nothing positive regarding the border.
