Biden's skin isn't thick, it's bulletproof

Trump tried again and again to provoke and taunt Biden and all he got from Biden was that smile and a chuckle. There was one president on thst stage tonight with the temperament and wisdom to lead our nation and it wasn't Donald Trump.

He did a great job against a monster, as I knew he would. He was dignified, gave great comfort, showed he was human, fought back when he needed to, and mocked the narcissistic bully when appropriate.

The thing is that HRC also did a fine job against this awful person. No one gives her much deserved credit for slicing and dicing Trump 3x in 2016.

But the debates didn't really matter. Hillary had high negatives among independent voters. Biden doesn't have that problem.

Whether it's deserved or not (it's not), she has one because for over a quarter of a century, republicans have done everything they can to paint her in a negative light, and to some extent it was successful because networks will gladly show her in hearing after hearing, and whether she does well in them or not (she did), just being called before congress will have a negative connotation, and then after weeks of coverage, they'll spend a minute or two about her being exonerated or not having the charges proved or not. I'm going to have to give republicans credit - I think they knew what they were doing - probably recognized early on that she was politically ambitious and would be just as effective as Bill so they took steps to derail her.

And that reputation worked well for Trump's line of attack which is primarily projection. Biden is cool Uncle Joe and has a calming demeanor. It's harder for Trump to hit him.
