#1 The Democrats have walked away from the middle class. The blue bloods, unions and others have been ignored. The party has been hijacked. This has been going on for several years now. They catered to every fringe cook group they could find and made a few up along the way. The only way they can return to power is as Biden has just said. The problem is he has the perspective of an older generation. He will not connect with the programed left educated people. They must age and fall to the wayside of life crying and complaining about their many failures. In the end they will appear as an old person dressed in old thoughts and clothes of a false time of ideas and understanding. Viewed in the future as we do of flappers from a time long gone by.

#2 making 100,000 bucks a year, two kids, struggling and scared to death. They used to be our constituency.”

Yep, they're so elitist that they "think" that this is middle class normal and they don't really care that people with two kids are struggling and scared.

Wonder what folks at the median, $56,000, are feeling? Wonder if that socialist elite give a crap?

#3 ...No. Can't have people who can jump the plantation. They get uppity.

#5 In the interview, Biden pointed to questions that came even from members of Clinton’s inner circle, revealed in emails made public by WikiLeaks, about whether the Democratic front-runner had figured out why she was running.

Selling.. um... there's a word... accessories... accoutrements? It'll come to me...

#6 Who knew that old Slow Joe was the smartest one of them all? Still, that's not saying much.

#7 ...whether the Democratic front-runner had figured out why she was running.

Got to keep the money flowing into the Foundation.

BTW, if Shillery had won, do you really think they'd be talking about closing it down? /rhet question

#8 Biden is, after all, the "Common Man™". Who hasn't had a grandfather that would "would come up [from the mines] after 12 hours and play football" (Neil Kinnock), then lied that Denis Healey had given him the speech? Lied about being the "first person in his family to go to college? Stole entire lines from JFK and RFK speeches, Or "Borked" a supremely qualified SCOTUS nominee? Or get an "F" for plagiarizing five pages from a published article in a term paper that he submitted?
"I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect," Biden sniped at a voter. "I went to law school on a full academic scholarship." That claim was false, as was another claim, made in the same rant, that he graduated in the top half of his law-school class. Biden wrongly stated, too, that he had earned three undergraduate degrees, when in fact he had earned one—a double major in history and political science. Another round of press inquiries followed, and Biden finally withdrew from the race on Sept. 23, 1988.

He's a buffoon, a pompous windowlicking idiot, and actually right in this ONE incidence

#9 Hard to court the middle class when you have been actively attempting to destroy them with the non-human gender thing, calling them racist against blacks, hispanics, muslims, and best of all, taxing what little money they have left given that real wages have been stagnant basically since 1970 at this point.

If he got it right even once he's still ahead of Baraq and Hildebeest.

Er, I thought he was also right on partitioning Iraq. So he's got a better track record than his boss.
