Or hit a home run, if you prefer.
this speech makes Trump seem like such a vacant, meaningless man. which is to say it accurately portrays him. but largely as an absence.— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) August 21, 2020
Joe Biden who I’m told is supposedly sundowning gave the best damn speech of the whole convention— Tim Miller (@Timodc) August 21, 2020

I’m no expert, but this guy seems a lot more together upstairs than the other guy.#DNC2020— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) August 21, 2020
underlying message of the DNC (unless it’s been actually articulated and I missed it): Biden has had so much taken from him, and his humanity never faltered; Trump was given everything, and learned nothing— Sam Adams (@SamuelAAdams) August 21, 2020
I had real reservations about the idea of a virtual convention but the Democrats really nailed this.
A few slight hiccups along the way (even live conventions have them) but these were some great innovations. The roll call, the keynote, the intimate feel of the speeches.— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) August 21, 2020
Biden is a compassionate statesman who cares deeply and quite obviously about people and policy. He understands the presidency is a privilege and serious work. He is in another orbit from the ludicrous, dangerous clown bouncing around the White House on his pogo stick.— Tim O'Brien (@TimOBrien) August 21, 2020

More reactions here. Et tu, Fox?
I wondered how opponents of the Democrats and of Joe Biden would respond to his speech since it was darn near perfect in every way, from tone to content to delivery. I was surprised to see some FOX folks giving him credit, and was glad that they did.
ReplyDeleteBut the assholes quickly popped up, claiming it wasn't live, it was a series of edited tapes, Joe read from a teleprompter, it was cropped and he never moved from the podium because he was too weak to stand...OMG! make them shut up!
They got nuthin'. They have no viable arguments, nothing of substance to stand on. Joe ran rings around Trump and Joe came across as a smart, decent human being who understands us and what we have to do to claw back our democracy. He gave a brilliant speech and there is no way on this earth that Trump can stand up and do the same.
donnah -- they're all vicious dumbasses who know they're going down in November. That's what desperation looks and smells like!
