"So what?": South Carolina Democrats not bothered by Joe Biden's gaffes

Snip...

The string of summer slip-ups would seem to reinforce Biden's gaffe-prone reputation and raise questions about his central pitch of electability. But for many voters who came to see him during a campaign swing through early voting state South Carolina, the former vice president's slips of the tongue made him all the more endearing.

Snip...

Iyer is still making up her mind about which candidate to support in the Democratic primary, but said Biden's propensity for misspeaking wouldn't be a deterrent. "I think his heart is in the right place and that's what we need right now," she said. "He may not have been my top candidate, but I think he has the best chance of winning the Midwest. And that's crucial."

Snip...

Jackie Willet, a retiree from Rock Hill said "so do I," when asked about Biden's gaffes. "I don't think he does anything more than the average person would do. And I think that's what makes him likable. He's very smart. He knows the system and he's a gentleman. And that's important."

Jordan Phillips, an assistant at a local elementary school in Gaffney, said that Biden is his first choice and that his verbal missteps won't take away from his popularity in the state. "The gaffes don't matter because we all mess up, we're all human," said Phillips. "Most politicians, they claim to be perfect but they're not…we have to just be real with ourselves…that's what people look for — is real, the realness in a person."

2. JFC! Who doesn't mess up when they talk sometimes?

This Biden gaffe thing is out of control imo. I wonder if it isn’t a back lash against the diarrhea word salad coming out of the WH every friggin’ day. I wish the MSM would hammer the MF like they do Biden. The difference is that Biden isn’t lying through his teeth when he slips up...the pResident lies every time he opens his slimy orange maw. Every time.

5. Critics won't contrast objective numbers of the number of so-called gaffes by each candidate

What we will see are a number of people bemoaning an alleged concern without any real numbers to compare and contrast gaffes v gaffes within the field of viable candidates... as that particulate bumper sticker would quickly fall apart under actual scrutiny.


No worries... next week there will a brand new, shiny non-concern thrown at the wall in hopes it sticks.
