When the primary season first started, he wasn't even close to being my first choice. But boy howdy, was I ever wrong about that. Go Joe!

(81,220 posts)- Already liked him.
- Liked how he worked with then-President Obama, when he was vice president. Always cooperative and helpful and ready to serve. Took on anything Obama asked of him. An excellent, versatile, and generous partner. Obama couldn't have chosen better!
- Liked how he treats his wife, and his family. He's such a gentleman around Dr. Jill. Goes around to open her car door and help her out of the limo, then to offer her his arm and escort her into the venue. Fucking trump never did that. I will NEVER forget how he bolted out of the limo and straight up the steps to meet the Obamas at the White House entrance, on the morning of his "inauguration." Melania had to get herself out of the car, with the traditional gift for this kind of occasion (Tiffany, I believe), and could only watch as the First Man-Baby "there he goes..." trump ignored her completely, and left her to make her way up the steps alone. Biden, on the other hand, treats his wife like he must love her a lot, and you can tell it's sincere. And it's SOOOOOOOOOO nice to see.
- Already liked his resume. A few bumps in there but MAN, minor in the long run especially since he clearly and obviously learned from them. That shows you excellent traits in a possible leader: humility, acceptance if you made a mistake and there's a penalty of some sort, acceptance that you made a mistake and learn from it - and DEMONSTRATE through your behavior that you learned from it. He's certainly done that in public, in the full light of day.
- And he had a wealth of dramatically-relevant experience on several fronts, from his three-dozen-some-odd years in the Senate (1973-2009), plus everything before that. Chaired both the Senate Judiciary and Senate Foreign Relations Committees - that's some experience you can really sink yer teeth into.
- Knew others liked him, too. Nobody's really ever had a bad thing to say about him.
So when Inslee dropped out, I thought Biden was the most realistic choice. That resume couldn't (and still can't) be beat, and it counted for something. Nothing surface or ceremonial. His character is beyond reproach and that's always impressed me. Honorable as can be - almost ridiculously and surprisingly so, considered the rat-bastard he (THANKFULLY!!!) replaced. The consideration with which he treats everyone - just among the "character" things that REALLY count when you've got the most powerful job on the planet. It's the full measure of the man, and for me, he checks all the big boxes.

(35,654 posts)how he laughs when he walks off.
Aside from catching the reporter by surprise, that was my favorite part.

(35,654 posts)In my post above I originally put "reporter" in quotes and then removed it.
I have suspicions,though.
PatSeg
(47,399 posts)Just asking stupid gotcha like questions in an attempt to draw attention to themselves and further their careers, if you could call that kind of "journalism" a career. Yellow journalism maybe.

(41,831 posts)That that reporter was from Fox news. Shows how really stupid they are over there. Theyre not news they are entertainment and they need to be treated as such.

(21,745 posts)Wouldn't it be a gas if every Republican in every interview was asked if they think Democrats drink baby blood?

(14,490 posts)I'm five years younger than Joe and no way in hell I could respond that fast and accurate.
He has an unlimited supply of Rethug lies and bullshit to draw from for future interviews......

(1,204 posts)a) I'm glad they admit Joe is the new President, even though they don't realize what they just said.
b) I respond by saying, 'fortunately, the senile one was voted out of office'
c) if they keep up attacking Joe, I say, '..and I wouldn't be surprised if the former one has 3rd stage Syphilis'

(23,926 posts)It's 50-50 whether the whiners over there are either really so fucking dumb that they don't know that Joe was mocking the Q wing of the Repuke party, or if it's all just more excrement from the predictable wingnut fake outrage machine.

I doubt many there got the significance of his comment. Remember, the right wing circulating stories that there was a Democratic cult sucking blood out of children.
