“That Biden is a decent person is indisputable anywhere outside the airless quarters of the most quarrelsome partisans.”
Only someone who is entirely focused on image, rather than reality, would say this. Biden indisputably plays the role a decent guy on TV. Well, except when he gets his feelings bruised by one of the little people, in which case he starts calling them names.
You know what, maybe he is, but it's irrelevant because he won't be the one running the show, if he's elected. You might as well have Bernie in the White House, because there won't be a dime's worth of difference.
