n0, interesting how our perspectives differ. I am not looking for ways to convince your or someone, I have nothing to gain from that, but to see if we can find a way to look at things without a bias. What looks like stutter to you might look like Alzheimer to me, what looks like cleverness to me looks like hutzpah to you …
They are both builders. whatever Trump Towers stand for, there is a Biden Welcome Center on I-95 that is half-size of the whole Delaware … definitely not built with his money. I don’t think Reagan called the airport for himself, did he?
I have one unbiased point on Trump: we used his show as a side tool to business education, and were able to pick up and illustrate some ideas corresponding to academic courses and reality. It was of course entertainment, but it sounded pretty reasonable. It did not bother me that he was a Democratic supporter, I don’t think I was aware of that.
I have one point on Biden – Bob Gates wrote that B. has a lot of foreign experience and was consistently on the wrong side of every issue. Gates is a moderate and I don’t think is even known of being funny. This sounded funny and right at a time, well before anyone thought that Biden might become a president.
As to Biden’s experience that I claim and you, ironically, deny, here is a data point: a pro-Biden pre-election article written by someone who previously published an OpEd explaining how wrong Biden is in pushing for forced partition of Iraq. He got a call next day from Biden’s helper, saying: Senator sent you a formal letter denouncing your article and standing by his position. You will get it tomorrow. Please disregard it. Senator accepts your argument and will stop pushing for it, but we had to send a letter for PR purposes… a big twist of real concern for the country and experience at PR … Simliar when he (and also Bob Gates!) advised Obama to postpone raid on BinLaden. Gates writes “Biden’s primary concern was the political consequences of failure.”
Hunter blaming trauma for his corruption … this does not explain Biden’s brothers. Also, Hunter as of February was still “unwinding his investments” which shows both how extensive they are, and that his father is not able to help him with this task.
One missing thing is – what are Biden’s achievements in life, beyond doing politics and human part that you might connect to? I hear “prison reform”,”banking reform”, “senator from MBNA”… I am not sure what is the substance behind it. Could you fill this in?
