1. Speaking from the heart counts so much more than Biden's occasional slips of the tongue detractors

love to pounce on. It is a communication gift, the ability to convey deep sincerity, that few in public life possess. Yes, Biden’s rivals do at times speak with passion, rise to an occasion, but Biden consistently connects with audiences and individuals emotionally. He is a powerful and effective communicator because of this ability. You just can’t fake it. From the heart to the heart.
