I've been watching Joe Biden for 40+ years.
I never let go of my view that he's 1) of below average intelligence, and 2) a loathsome human being lacking in character or basic morality.
He's a serial liar and always has been.
He is a fabulist who is the walking embodiment of the "Walter Mitty" syndrome.
He has lived his entire life based on the premise that he could get 150,000 to 250,000 people to vote for him every six years in backwater backwards state that exists in the shadows of all its neighbors.
He has never paused for even a moment to consider whether it is an ethical way of life for his extended family members to "earn" money based on almost nothing more than the fact that they share his last name.
He has no guiding political beliefs which is evidenced by his wild policy swings over 50 years in office.
His "North Star" in politics was the always shifting "center" of the Democrat party wherever that might be found.
He has ALWAYS been willing to say whatever he thought was politically opportune at any particular moment in time.
He should have stayed retired from politics in 2008 when Obama called him. Obama didn't really want Biden -- what he really didn't want was Hillary. He knew Biden would sit in the corner with his few aides from his time in the Senate and keep his mouth shut.
I read and hear Democrat party shills lamenting that if this performance sends him on the path to a resounding defeat it will destroy his "legacy."
Joe Biden has never had a legacy.
He's always been the Fredo Corleone of the Democrat party.
Like Fredo, he's just never known that.
Good riddance.
Thanks to Shipwreckedcrew for this excellent review! I fully concur!
