What a great find! Thanks for posting the link to this great book. I can’t help but think of the horrendous butchering of the English language and the horrible petty meanness of Biden by contrast.
From the book’s preface: “Whenever Abraham Lincoln wanted to make a strong point he usually began by saying, “Now, that reminds me of a story.” And when he had told the story every one saw the point and was put into a good humor.”
Biden says “No joke” or “That’s the truth.”
Reagan had a bunch of note cards for jokes. There is a youtube with various comedians sitting at his old desk in his museum going over the jokes - they are pretty good.

Also Abe: “Take my wife. Please!”
Don’t forget his horrendous insults like “Listen Fat, let’s do push ups together or go for a run, whatever you want to do”
He’s an incredibly insecure, petty, immature little man.
Biden as POTUS would sicken all of our prior great statesmen and orators.
…which means he is telling another bald-faced lie!

Abe was my 2nd cousin 5 times removed.
