Everybody uses it; I'd like to see it go away, or at least not be used so much.

I think he’s actually doing just the right things. His message is working.

I would not perceive him as such either.

But there are a good many who think 180k dead Americans is ok, but Nancy should not get a haircut.

But for swing voters maybe not good. I am not criticizing Joe at all, just thinking of ways to broaden his appeal.

I love listening to 😍bama because he is so well read, well educated & eloquent.

But that's just me.

I see no issue with Biden's words.

Most people don't know what it means. I didn't. Members of my family didn't.

It comes off as sounding elitist, and that's not a very good image for Joe to be projecting.

We are at a point where we can move to the type of positive, forward looking country that we have never been, or we can spiral downward toward tribalism. Such is the nature of an inflection point.
