20. So you think he gave some thought when he spoke so well about the two segregationists?

So Biden knew he was going to offend people like Kamala Harris, Booker, etc?

And when he told the kids to look out for their little sister (13 years old) to protect her from the other guys...

Here is a sample from TIME, they have a list of Biden's gaffes, and lets not forget that since his campaign started he has already made a few of which one he had to apologize:

It's not even surprising anymore when the Vice President says something impolitic, is it? A week ago, during a White House St. Patrick's Day celebration, he briefly mourned the death of the Irish Prime Minister's mother, even though she was very much alive. And on Tuesday, immediately following his introduction of President Obama during the health care bill's signing ceremony, he turned to the Commander in Chief and uttered the following barely-off microphone comment: "This is a big f______ deal." With his use of the F word, Biden offered the ultimate blue-collar acknowledgment of a job well done. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs quickly came to the Vice President's defense with a simple note on his official Twitter feed: "And yes, Mr. Vice President, you're right..."

Also, lets talk about the great deal he made with "Mitch" which Banner pointed out was disastrous for the country, but good for republicans.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

We are going to have to catch him or rip him to pieces. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #1
I hope the Democratic candidates understand that republicans already have all they need Perseus Jul 2019 #5
I don't think your question exists in reality. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #6
Then you haven't been watching Perseus Jul 2019 #11
That's just not true. The Republicans talk about Warren, Bernie, Kamala redstateblues Jul 2019 #30
we should all ask the question why do republicans want him to win the nomination Celerity Jul 2019 #13
I think Bernie would win New Mexico, no matter what. Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #15
Is it really possible to lose states like Connecticut and New York? Celerity Jul 2019 #18
Yeah, the red baiting would be at an all time high. Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #19
His error was to say that if his ideas would label him as a socialist, then he was one. Perseus Jul 2019 #22
Agreed. Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #24
This was all litigated last time Bernie ran. redstateblues Jul 2019 #32
As long as he has no truly major gaffes (far beyond the seg dust-up) and does well in the next Celerity Jul 2019 #25
Yes, I agree that Biden Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #26
Warren will drag in Schultz (for sure) and probably Bloomberg as well Celerity Jul 2019 #27
You could be right... gotta give credit to Joe for fighting back against Kamala's debate tactics. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2019 #28
In a one on one debate (you obviously can see my overall assessment of his chances) Celerity Jul 2019 #31
False premise to the question. Republicans don't. emmaverybo Jul 2019 #33
I was saying if they could have any (realistic, so no Gravel, Messam, etc) opponent Celerity Jul 2019 #34
Oh. Sorry. Misunderstood. Yeah. Agree. emmaverybo Jul 2019 #35
Good post. cwydro Jul 2019 #16
Only when he's in the Trans Am. House of Roberts Jul 2019 #2

"If he's smart"...He is smart, he just doesn't use his brain all the time when he talks Perseus Jul 2019 #7
part of being smart qazplm135 Jul 2019 #9
Part of being smart is thinking before you act, thinking before you speak Perseus Jul 2019 #12
I'm not in favor of Biden but that's a bit much qazplm135 Jul 2019 #17
So you think he gave some thought when he spoke so well about the two segregationists? Perseus Jul 2019 #20
Sure I do qazplm135 Jul 2019 #21
Sorry but, what you explain about him "proceeded ahead" tells me he didn't think about it Perseus Jul 2019 #23
Huh? qazplm135 Jul 2019 #29
