Dear The Little,
It is silly to assume that someone who has been active in politics for fifty years, would be pushed around by unproven radicals. Add to this, that both parties attempted to recruit him when he was in his twenties. Also, he was completely loyal to President Obama’s platform, (Even though he personally disagreed.) who was not even born when Biden entered the senate. He will demand the same loyalty out of those around him. Additionally, Biden stumped for Bush on the senate floor, even though he did not agree with him completely.
The irony of accusing Biden of pushing around foreign oligarchs and governments for a few thousand dollars, but being unable to withstand the pressure of a few politicians who have little national appeal, is flat out ridiculous.
Biden pulled short of defunding the police. He was careful to never cross that line. He is not a major speaker, and anything can come out of his mouth at anytime, but he has mastered the art of policy. When the Conservatives and Conservatism peaked in the Nineties, nobody had a problem with Joe Biden.
