WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. told a group of black supporters on Thursday night that most Americans were good people who think the nation can be improved, while also declaring that “there are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people.”

Mr. Biden offered his estimate during remarks in which he spoke about the importance of a president setting a positive example for the nation on racial issues. He accused President Trump of dividing the country while pledging that, as president, he would not.

He is among that number!

and they’re ALL DEMOCRATS

[marktwain]

You know, people who cling to their Bibles and Guns, those people...

[gibsonguy]

That’s about 30 million people Joe. What are you going to do with them? And who decides?

[marktwain]

Should have put the /S on the last comment.

[Lurker]

We used to be deplorable. Now we are just not very good.

Looks like a promotion to me.

Let's just say the geezer is right - how did he calculate this number? MSM: "We shall not ask the basement dweller"...

Biden is C.H.U.D:

Crackbrained
Humaniod
Underground
Democrat

Would tend to agree with Biden’s number but doubt that his definition of good and bad would coincide with mine. Bottom line: Simply don’t want to be “brought together” with about 30% of the population. Want as little to do with them as possible and would never trust them in any matter of importance. Biden himself is in that 30%.

[existentially_kuffer]

Biden, you are a divider!

[pepsi_junkie]

Splitting the difference between 10 and 15% is 12.5%.

The african american community is 12.5% of the US population.

Sounds like a dog whistle to me...

It they can play these sorts of games, so can I.

[Jim Robinson]

He should make that 55-60%. That’s closer to the number of deplorable people who will kick his arse in November.

[escapefromboston]

I think 13% of Americans commit 50% of all violent crime

[CommerceComet]

and they’re ALL DEMOCRATS

The vast majority, true. We do have some backstabbing POS like Mitt who at least claim to be a Republican and some real nutcases on the extreme right.

[Moorings]

Does that 15% include corrupt politicians who took pay to play bribes from foreign countries and others, to sell out American jobs, American security, and American tax payer money?

[Lurkinanloomin]

That’s probably a good approximation of the number of hard core leftists that hate America.

[Red Badger]

Hmmm.......What are you saying, Joe? ....that is exactly the same number as the AA Population....................

[laconic]

It certainly includes him and his lousy son, Hunter.

[Moorings]

I think Biden is using his racist dog wistle.

[I want the USA back]

Yeah, and they’re all going to vote for gropey-joe.
