MANCHESTER, N.H. — Joe Biden has had enough of Pete Buttigieg’s malarky and, folks, he’s about to show that young whippersnapper a thing or two about running for president.
In a series of post-debate appearances, a meandering press conference and a withering new attack ad, Biden struck back at the South Bend upstart’s call for a new generation of leadership and wrapped himself in the legacy of former President Barack Obama.
It’s all part of the former vice president’s new, and somewhat uncomfortable, campaign trail look: Scrappy underdog.
“I have never been very comfortable attacking somebody else. I don't think we need a circular firing squad,” Biden told reporters Saturday at his Manchester campaign office. “When you get attacked, you’ve gotta respond. I've kept my mouth shut for a long time. I haven't responded at all — at all.”
But the days of the Rose Garden strategy are done. Biden can no longer act like he’s already the Democratic nominee or refuse to deign to answer opponents’ attacks when those attacks are actually working and his path to the nomination is uncertain.

Biden is punching up, not down. There is a reason why dems billionaire investors/donors are picking Buttmunch and not Biden.
Biden's use is over because the impeachment fiasco is over. Joe was the catalyst for impeachment, that is all he is useful for, now Biden is a liability.

As I have noted several times elsewhere, Biden has adopted the posture of the combative defender of the working man and champion of the underdog, etc etc ad nauseam. Hence the poking of people in the chest, yammering about meeting him out back of the gym, pushup contests, F15s attacking innocent American civilians, Etc.
Of course he is a meaningless weasel of the first order but if he wins the nomination, he will run as the “scrappy underdog” himself as the article well states. Meanwhile, expect more phoney pugnacity from the fading puncher as he goes down swinging.
