4. I just watched the whole thing. Remarkable speech.

I loved the beginning. Joe Biden told us the truth as he sees it. He was right at the end, with age comes knowledge, integration of history and all that one has lived. You have a colossal speech to channel FDR, from beginning to end, and also channel Reagan, and I think mentioned Lincoln at one point. He dissed TSF in the beginning, and the end. Republicans never really got off their seats, and had no room to maneuver. I suppose it was good he mentioned Lindsay, and I took it a good sign that Collins looked lost in thought. If I could read minds ... she thought it a good speech and that he was leveling with us. That's what you got with Biden. He knows so many of those people on both sides. The previous 3 Democratic presidents were not really products of Congress. Obama served their briefly, Clinton not at all, Carter not at all and he had famously little rapport on the Hill. Because of his age and long government service, Biden has the most experience of any president ever. And he was VP, and a very active one at that. I would say he's the most consequential since FDR. What a boffo speech. Republicans are reeling. They have no plan other than obstruction and tax cuts for those who need it the least. They do not govern. Hatred and retribution is not a platform, and their party is broke, and the election clock is running, and their candidate will be in court a bit. Time is their most precious element, and tick, tock.
