Former campaign staffer Jeff Connaughton makes the claims in George Packer's book, The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America Connaughton started off on the Biden for President campaign in 1987 He said Biden failed to learn staff members' names while on campaign trail Instead he would use names such as 'chief', 'cap'n' and 'dumb f**k' In September 1987, he was accused of plagiarizing a British Labour Party member's speech Joe Biden terrorized his underlings and was accused of plagiarizing speeches as he fought for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination, a former staff member claims.

The current Vice President also hated fundraising, former campaign staffer Jeff Connaughton claims in New Yorker writer George Packer's 2013 book, The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America.

Connaughton started off on the Biden for President campaign in 1987, working under Biden's veteran chief of staff, Ted Kaufman, according to the New York Post.

Hillary’s people are really slow if they want to make a preemptive attack to keep him out of the race. Everybody in DC, in both parties, are convinced he is going to run.

My BIL and his NEA wife say that Joe is smart and a great speaker.

OTOH, my BIL said the other day that Cruz and Carson are *stupid*. That is the word he used.

You can’t talk rationally with libs.

Yeppers. The Hillary! attacks begin in her press corspe.

Funny that she does NOT attack the socialist, but it is ok to attack the sitting VP. Remind me about this when they accuse repubbies about ANY criticism of Obola.

Hillary attacks Joe by saying "He's crazy and an obnoxious boor - just like me."

Well, you would have to be pretty dumb to be part of the Biden team. So, I guess, crude as it was, it was the truth.

They will try.

The goal now is to not be the party in charge when the last straw is added to the camel's back.

Hard to drive from the commander’s position.

I got my Abrams license on a weekend drill and that was pretty much all the advanced training I got in the national guard.

He didn’t just plagiarize speeches. He was caught doing it in law school too (from Wiki page) ............

“During his first year there, he was accused of having plagiarized 5 of 15 pages of a law review article. Biden said it was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and he was permitted to retake the course after receiving an “F” grade, ... “


I didn’t need to go to law school to know the rules. The rules were taught to us very well in undergrad.
