Joe Biden was on the campaign trail in New Hampshire Friday, which means that the potential for a new gaffe to add to his growing repertoire was high.
While speaking at a health care town hall at Dartmouth College in Hanover, the Democratic front-runner did not disappoint.
Biden, who is considered the Democrats' most electable candidate, hit his first snag while trying to describe his healthcare plan: “For folks in the working class that are below 400, they will, in fact, increase their premiums,” he stammered, adding quickly, "excuse me, will increase the generosity of the premium tax cut that they now get."
Biden struggled on, telling the crowd that there would be non-quality options with his healthcare plan. "The public option will be available with my plan. We’ll make sure it’s not quality, we’ll make sure it’s only affordable," he told the audience, adding quickly, "quality that's affordable."
Things got positively weird when Biden started reminiscing about the political assassinations of the 1960s and then wondered what it would have been like if former President Obama had been assassinated too.
NBC correspondent Mike Memoli reported on Twitter from the scene:
Biden, as he often does, talking about how his political heroes - RFK, MLK - were assassinated when he was in college. Then posits, rather starkly: imagine what would have happened if Barack Obama was assassinated

Biden capped off the day by giving a lakeside speech in the small town of Croydon, N.H., to an underwhelming audience of two to three dozen people.

Broke Brain Joe.
This old fool actually thinks he can do the job of president! I know you have to have a big ego to want the job, but you need brains too.
“”For folks in the working class that are below 400””
Wonder what that means?
This old fool actually thinks he can do the job of president!

Well said. Politicians never give up their ambition for higher office. Its like some kind of disease that effects the ego.
Joe was never really a viable candidate for anything outside of his own rather parochial state. Even Obama knows he’s not fit for the job.
“”For folks in the working class that are below 400””

It may be some type of Democrat ‘deplorable’ rating scale. ;)
Why was Biden still in college at the age of 25?
C’mon. We all know Uncle Joe is incompetent, but even for him this is ridiculous. It’s as if he’s throwing the nomination away on purpose. I’ll stay with my belief that he is and has always been a placeholder for someone else. Let him be the “big” name to be the early frontrunner in the race, which he has done, and then when he drops out someone else will pick up the mantle. I think the nominee has already been chosen, and all this is a dog and pony show of the worst kind.
Dear God,
Please let it be Joe Biden.
Amen.

So democrats accidentally uttering the truth is now referred to as a gaffe
Hope he stays as the front runner as long as possible.
Slow Joe has been preordained as the democrats’ nominee. The same “superdelegates” that tanked Bernie Sander’s White House hopes will put
this differing old fool in the same place and will meet the same stunning defeat as Cankles the Pantsuit Princess. It’s very clear that he’s living in the 70’s...that era as well as his age. The shake up will be even more extreme because they have eliminated the candidate with two “Y” chromosomes for the feminazis to scream and swoon before her angry self.
They will.rally round an old white man who can’t even remember what century he is living in, whose spoken words of legendary mixed metaphors and anachronisms betray his truth—he literally knows not what he does.
The only thing that will be shocking this election is the absolutely staggering amount of Democrat money that will be spent on advertising to prop up this raisin to President Trump’s plum. The only thing with less credibility is the Hollywood liberals that promised us they’d move to (insert name of socialist country) if President Trump were elected. He’s president and not one of them came through on their “threat”.
Bring on the RBG replacement!!
He’s absolutely correct. The imagined benefit is that everyone will be insured and America will have one thing less to feel guilty about.
The deep state would love to have this brain dead moron as President.
Wonder what that means?
Below 400% federal poverty level. That is when Obamacare subsidies kick in.
I think the term is non compos mentis.
RE: He’s absolutely correct.
So, he’s a Democrat making a Republican argument.
They shouldn’t let him speak at night. That’s when he’s tired and prone to gaffes. The morning’s not too good either. He’s drowsy and a bit confused about things. As for the afternoon, nap time.
