Biden's skill set is not rhetorical delivery, as he stumbles on words due to his stutter issues, but anyone fair minded knows what he's saying and that he's authentic in his convictions.
It's not a stutter. He gets mixed up & confuses words. It gets worse when he starts to shout & tries to make it a stemwinder.
It's phony & distracting. Unwatchable. ...& then there's Kamala's baby talk. Maybe it's a strategy to distract from their message.
Good lord, you really do know better so why post such drivel?
He's had a stutter since childhood, worked extremely hard to overcome it, but the neurologic processes that cause the issue are still there, his mind out of sync with his verbalization. It creeps through at times. He says words not realizing he's said them differently than he intended. And has throughout his career.
Again, anyone fair minded understands what he's trying to say and sees that he means what his intent, authentically, whether right or wrong in his opinions.
I don't know what you are referring to re Harris, but if you want someone to critique at the State of the Union, Pelosi would be my target. Man she made me squirm, all excited and near giggly at various parts, standing up inappropriately with a smile when Biden was being very serious, trying to engage with Harris while Biden was speaking...big distraction at least to my wife and me. Schumer also had a bad moment of such.
Bad optics, folks.
Both of them are way past their sell by date, IMO.
The Dems would be smart to move beyond them.
I think Biden is too old as well, but more because the job is incredibly stressful and wearing, not that he doesn't have decent judgements and character. I want him to get through these challenges successfully, because they're America's challenges. And I'm hoping he's up to it...a huge part of that his hiring and managing good people, smart, experienced and of sound character. I think he's done far better in that area, at least outside of the military arena, than did his predecessor. And much better than his predecessor would have done, including military, in a second term.
so, I'm glad Biden has the job for now. Rooting for success.
