I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart, or head, for Joe Biden. Of all the U.S. senators in my lifetime, he was the most regular guy — rather a dub, and not the brightest bulb on the tree, but kindhearted and unpretentious. My cousin, Judge William Marvel, was the former Democratic Party chairman in Joe’s home county, and surely voted for Joe at least four times between 1972 and 1990. So did this William Marvel, albeit indirectly, in 2008 and 2012. I wouldn’t have done so had his running mate not been so young and healthy.
Joe is lucky. His amateurish bumbling endears him to people. His life’s tragedies, including the deaths of his first wife and two children, and the disreputable transgressions of his remaining son, have generated enough sympathy for him to distract from inevitable questions about his competence. The sheer length of his political career obscures the causal connections between the policies he supported in the past and the unfortunate consequences he promises to battle today.
Wow, We were doing far better than we are now with Trump in the white house and things are continuing to deteriorate with Old Joe the hand puppet. I guess you didn't like the lower taxes. Mine were about 20 % lower and I'm self employed. That never happened before. The border was under control and now it is a train wreck. There are people dying because of that and it's only the beginning. .Gas prices are up and rising along with the transportation cost of everything we consume. ( Inflation. ) I get it that that you don't like Trump. Let me ask you this, if you needed surgery and Trump was a Dr and the best for your condition and then there was bumbling likeable Ol Dr Joe. Dr trump walks in to your room would you send him away so Bumbling ol Dr Joe could botch your operation? As far as the election goes it was the most screwed up thing I have ever witnessed and there is lots of room for doubt. Trump won, no question. You got suckered and we are all paying for it now.
