"Reporters Elena Schor and Jack Jenkins insisted 'Joe Biden is a different kind of foe than Trump has faced before: one who makes faith a central part of his persona — often literally wearing it on his sleeve.'â€
"They played up Biden carrying a rosary that belonged to his late son Beau into a Democrat debate. You know a reporter is doing Biden’s bidding when they work in sympathetic mentions of deaths of Biden’s family members, for maximum emotional punch."
"Deputy political director John McCarthy declared Biden’s identity as 'a very devout Catholic and person of deep faith 'is baked into the core messaging and core functions of the campaign.'"

When Joe Biden's son died of a brain tumor, I researched Joe from the time of his birth until the death of that son and have continued gathering info. on him. I did it to learn Joe's life.
He grew up in a Catholic family in Penn. Penn. was going through a bad time, and the father took any job he could find, and the family stayed with his wife's family. They moved to an apartment in another state, then moved again. So, his early life was not ideal.
When his wife and child were killed in a car accident, and the two sons were in the hospital, his life outlook changed. He saw how easily one can be devastated by loss and it can't be changed. From that time forward, he had empathy for anyone who had suffered loss of family.
Today, with the virus wiping out family members, Biden is their choice of a leader because he DOES know how they feel, he talks about it, and Trump does not appear empathetic about their loss; but there are months between now and November.
I saw today that numbers are changing and Trump is only down a few points from Biden. Basically, it is a tie. If it stays that way, after one debate, I expect Biden to go down so low, he can't recover - unless Trump does something in these months, that wipes him out. I think, today, Trump would lose due to Biden's outward empathy with people. I wait for the first debate, to see what happens.
