“Joe Biden is gonna kick ass here because this is a normal place,” Dick Harpootlian said. A member of the South Carolina State Senate and former chairman of the state Democratic Party, Harpootlian, who has known Biden since the late 1980s, was an early supporter of his third presidential campaign.
“He’s a normal guy,” he said, by way of explanation.
After a long day at the statehouse listening to his fellow lawmakers filibuster, he met me for coffee at Drip on Main Street in Columbia.
“Iowa is like — you watch Game of Thrones?” he asked. I said I didn’t. “Well, that’s too bad,” he said. He took a sip of his latte.
“Iowa’s like the area north of the wall where the White Walkers and the weird people are, okay? I knocked doors out there.” He gestured to his aide. “He knocked doors out there!” he said. “They’re not normal people, okay?”

Right. Biden’s a “normal guy” who likes to fondle children. Go ask the little girl in the red dress how “normal” he is.

Anyone even considering voting for that mentally-unstable, dementia king, should crawl into a hot tub, and open a vein.

Sick of Biden’s bigoted supporters. Biden is losing in NC, TX and CA in the latest polls.

“Joe Biden is gonna kick ass here because this is a normal place,” Seems like a good way to lose Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.
“He’s a normal guy,” he said, by way of explanation.
I don't want a normal guy for president; I want an exceptional guy (or gal) for president.

I wasn’t referring to Biden. Thought the guy next to the '79 Firebird was actually Biden.

Normal guy?
A guy who fondles children and sniffs their hair?
A guy who thinks he's in Ohio when he is in Iowa?
A guy who looks forward to "appointing" the first black woman to the senate, when presidents don't "appoint" senators?
A guy who doesn't know there is already a black woman (Braun) in the senate?
A guy who says he is running for the senate?
And the gaffes go on......lawdee dawdee dee, lawdee dawdee doh.
Someone please take this old fool out to pasture.
