Speaking in Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden was confronted by a reporter who wanted to know why Iowans, with their current low unemployment rate, should shift from voting strongly for President Trump in 2016 to voting for Biden in 2020. When she asked Biden to make his case for why he should be elected, he answered, "I'm not going to."
The exchange went like this:
Reporter: Well, In Iowa, the unemployment rate is 2.5%; people say they are employed in Iowa and their small businesses are growing; Iowa picked Trump by —
Biden: They were employed before he got elected.
Reporter: The president won by 10 percentage points in Iowa.
Biden: I’m not suggesting that he didn’t win by 10 percentage points; what I’m suggesting is he’s not the reason for that employment rate being down.
Reporter: But why should people want to make a change, though?
Biden: Well, that’s up to them to decide.
Reporter: Why should they?
Biden: It’s for them to decide.
Reporter: Well, make your case.
Biden: I’m not going to.

Biden is very frustrated and mad that he can’t make a case against President Trump.
Slow Joe = no go.
“Biden is very frustrated and mad that he can’t make a case against President Trump.”
Biden is very frustrated and mad that he’s no longer Obama royalty who is therefore no longer protected from all non-softball questions from the media ... You can see Bidn and all the rest of the Dems thinking “HOW DARE YOU ASK ME A QUESTION LIKE THAT” when they get a question they don’t like ...
This is unbelievable.
A politician cannot tell you why you should vote for them?
This reminds me a bit of Ted Kennedy in the 1980 campaign, when he could not answer a simple question as to why he wanted to be president.
You’re exactly right.
Good points. The Dems are scared witless, among other things. They’re grasping at straws, confused, and really don’t know what to do.
Leave it up to the Republicans to not take advantage of the situation.
Slow Joe = no go.

Slow Joe = no go.
Dumb mo fo
There is a reason for this. It is that the republicans in may cases are corrupt as well. They have enriched themselves and their families too. Taking full advantage of their positions of power.
President Trump is as much a threat to them. They want the status quo.
"If he had another half a brain he'd be a half-wit"
Biden is looking for a way out. Expect either him or his son to have a health crisis soon. My bet would be on his son entering some type of rehab program that would require parental support.
She, the reporter should not have needed to come out and say; ‘”Well, make your case!”. Every candidate gets asked a version of that question. She gave him four or five opportunities to say something, anything.
I have never heard of a politician outright refusing to answer that very reasonable question. Not even Hillary sounded this entitled so early in the campaign.
Her, “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?” remark came later.
Somebody better throw some cold water on Uncle Joe’s head, to try and get his mind right. I’m so glad he is not our problem. He is a Democrat, and nothing more.
Like a former V.P. candidate once said “who am I and why am I here?”
Well, if he is going to spend a lot of time and other people’s money running for president, it isn’t too much to expect him to make his case. My guess is he doesn’t like being where he is right now.
“You guys are supposed to be my unpaid promoters! You’re supposed to make this easy for me!”
Did he try to hold her hands or anything?
Down goes the front runner!! Down goes the front runner!!!!
Down goes Frasier?
