Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 Biden’s remark was clearly unacceptable and he has very rightly been criticized for it. He’s also accepted the criticism, accepted what he said was well out of order and apologized. That’s a strength, not a weakness. 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon the pun. Reagan started his presidency at the age of 70, and didn't exhibit overt signs of Alzheimer's until well after his presidency in late 1992. Biden, if he is elected, will be the same age at inauguration that Reagan was at his retirement from office... and his symptoms seem quite advanced already. Big difference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wish to insult old people, but this highest office, whatever it is, is stressful and there should be some age limit. This year we had Bernie 78, Biden 77, and Bloomberg 78, vying for the position. Pelosi at 80 is way too old to hold her powerful position. Why isn't there some younger talent in that party? Someone that looks like they could handle 8 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Democrats are going to differentiate themselves on racism by supporting a candidate who says racist things without realizing it. BUT apologizes for upsetting the base when the racism of his statement is pointed out to him. If that's a "strength" it's a weak one. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who actually holds the highest office in the land has said far, far worse than this. Remember his 'fine people on both sides' comment when refering to Charlottesville or suggesting a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage or when talking about people from African countries, “Why are we having all these people from <deleted>hole countries come here? This is whilst he actually was the President, never mind a nominee. And therefore, because the Republicans chose a candidate who makes a lot of questionable statements it's okay for the Democrats to choose a candidate who makes lots of questionable statements.

ratcatcher Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 1 hour ago, tropo said: It's a bit of an insult to Reagan to put these two together in the same photo. Reagan was an extraordinary orator. Biden can't speak, period. Reagan knew how to tell a joke. Biden just puts his foot in his mouth every time he makes an attempt at humor. You are right, but I didn't put them in the photo as you know, I merely used it to show the difference between articulate and inarticulate. Reagan's speech flowed, Biden's is merely flawed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are trying to make one ill-thought out remark to mean Biden is racist whereas there are literally dozens from Trump that prove he's racist.

How is it double standards? This has been reported and rightly denounced in all the MSM, promting a swift apology from Biden. Even us 'liberals' on this forum are not condoning what he said.

Popular Post TKDfella Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 I watched a couple of clips on the net and clearly at least some black Democrat organisations aren't very happy about this. Former VP Biden's apology didn't seem to appease them either. But this is a problem solely for that party to sort out. The danger is not loosing votes to another party, although that is a possibility, but having voters stay home on the day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
