(68,788 posts)Including the short-lived campaign in the 80's where he was attacked with lies. This is who he is. He is a great campaigner. You don't spend decades in the Senate in these times without being able to raise money and win. He is a decent, honest guy too. And kind, I have told this story before but during one of the campaign venues I worked, I took my college-age daughter. At the time, she suffered from anxiety. It was in Ohio at an old factory...in Youngstown I think-not sure.
And it was crowded. During the time we waited for President Biden, the crowds became too much for my daughter who promptly had an anxiety attack. She was being escorted out by security. Biden intervened. He was as always kind. He had her taken to the VIP section where it was not so crowded. She stayed for the event. This is who Biden is. He later had a picture taken of her with him. She was thrilled and still has that picture.
