Who is this Harwood moron and why should we care what he says?

[mikey_hates_everything]

If they pull the rubber band too far to the left, it’s going to snap back and this guy will be one of many getting free helicopter rides. Hope he’s still around if that happens—and the rides are televised.

[logician2u]

Where in the Constitution of the United States can the word "empathy" be found?

Oh, I know: It's right there in that paragraph that outlines the character traits and habits expected of a President.

Qualities such as generous, understanding, sympathetic, church-going, a good listener and . . the ability to sit still in meetings for hours on end without a bathroom break.

All BS, of course.

And so is this suck-up from one of the CNN cronies.

Looking for advancement, are you Mr. Harwood?

Empathy?
First of all, The Resident/Dictator was selected. Our President, Donald J Trump outright won the election in a landslide.

Now we’re missing a President. Government by apparatchiks.

[albie]

We’ve been “missing a President”. Period

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, I do feel sorry for him, and sorrier for the nation.

[VeniVidiVici]

Empathy? All I heard was “truth over facts”.

[SMARTY]

“President Who Conveys Empathy”

Even IF he does... is THAT his duty as President or is it the many OTHER pressing and important issues that concern Americans?

Seriously!

[a fool in paradise]

Joseph Stolen is a smarmy moron

[Steve_Seattle]

Biden’s speech struck me as the petty, narcissistic effort of a small, graceless man. He’s the Rosie Ruiz of the pandemic, cutting in near the finish line and claiming victory.

[DennisR]

If you need empathy, get counseling. I, for one, do not want empathy from any President, Vice President, Senator, or Representative. Their job is to provide security and for the long-term viability of the USA. Unfortunately, this is not happening.

[nathanbedford]

There is a very good reason to care what Harwood thinks not because he is worthy of our respect because he is on to something as is Biden, or rather his speechwriters. The first third of Biden's speech was almost certainly written by a woman or a team staffed with women who were writing for a segment of the population that constitutes a large chunk of the base of the Democrat party. We have been concerned about the power of the Democrats to sway females, especially white suburban educated females toward their party. They might have cost us the last two elections.

They win them over with empathy. If Biden's speech was more in the nature of an appeal to the heart rather than to the mind that is because it was intentionally so. Governing as soap opera works, it wins votes.

It matters not that Biden's appeals to unity were hollow even grossly hypocritical when, for example, when he failed to credit Trump for pushing the vaccine through in record time. It matters only that women wanted to hear an appeal to end discord, to bring the country to a place utterly foreign to politics but heavenly To Hallmark television viewers. The world of politics is not the world of unity but the world conflict. That is as it should be. Politics is where we decide who gets what, where and when and in many cases it is a zero-sum game. Biden has been at this game for very nearly half a century and he knows how to use a stiletto but he also knows, thanks to his female speechwriters, how to soothe.

The contrast with Trump could not be more plain, Trump was right, Biden is lying but with suburban women Biden carries the day.

[mombonn]

Haven’t listened to cnn in decades, but I’ll bet Chris Wallace made similar comments. For the record, I haven’t listened to him in years.

[vpintheak]

No, Americans don’t want a weak, idiot, addled old fool. No.

[Colinsky]

Biden’s “stay the course” speech. Except he showed us no shining city on a hill as the goal; instead, if we are good little boys and girls and do exactly what Big Brother tells us to do, we might be allowed to have a guest for a backyard barbecue on a holiday. As long as guests wear masks and have vaccination certificates and stay less than two hours.

[1Old Pro]

The only empathy, well it’s really sympathy for Joe, that Dr. Jill forced this demented feeble old man to seek the office.

[LibertarianLiz]

Perhaps I’m strange; but, I look for “competency” in a President.

[Vehmgericht]

Harwood is a member of the elite. We peasants must listen to him. He is an expert. “appeal to universal values” that universal value that mandates that female athletes have to shower with mentally disturbed male/female wannabes.

[Fungi]

Scott Johnson at Powerline said it best: "Go to hell, you blithering phony. You can’t even fake sincerity." That goes for this CNN clown Harwood and Demented Jackass Joe. The leftist media will soon be eating crow when this Svengali regime blows up. But they don't care, they're living in their own fantasy bubble, oblivious to truth and reality.
