(4,341 posts)His worst enemy is when he opens his mouth. He wants to be liked so much by everyone, including the republicans, that he tends to say things he feels will bring people to him not realizing he is offending other people, like his praise for the two segregationist republicans, once again opening his mouth without thinking, wanting to be liked. I mean, what can you say nice about republicans that will not offend someone else?
That incident with the segregationist is a perfect example of Biden trying to be liked by all, including republicans. To me, that is naive, as his claim that he can work with republicans, I have to assume he says that because he thinks "even republicans like him so much".
"He wants to be liked so much by everyone" That is his achilles heel. How many times have we heard him call the turtle "Mitch"? I am not sure if he thinks that endears him to "Mitch" and other republicans.
I hope we pick someone who can battle the creature and the corruption well, that person has to be a leader all around, he/she must be liked by the majority, republicans who are discontent with the creature must feel they can trust that person enough to vote for him/her.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
