Uncle Joe

Joe Biden has released a video to announce his candidacy for president in2020. Like many of his Democrat opponents the backbone of his message is anti-Trump ... I think a mistake. A long time ago I learned that politicians do better with a positive message ... Make America Great Again ... and sourpusses usually lose.

Sourpuss Biden, in his video, went after Trump repeatedly, mentioning Trump’s remarks about Charlottesville ... where Trump was in a way both blaming and excusing both sides. Of course Biden did not give a balanced account ... Trump’s denouncing the murder of a young woman by an alt-right terrorist there ... and the alt-left  riots surrounding the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee ... in which two Virginia state police officers were also killed.

Anyway see for yourself. Read the full transcript of Trump’s press conference from whence Biden extracted his Trump mud ... see: Politico Transcript. Read the entire transcript with an open mind ... accounting for the leading questions of the rabid press corps. It will take some time. The Trump remarks that Biden paraphrased are pretty far down ... so be patient. But read the whole thing as opposed to seeing just a biased 10 second CNN clip.

To this poster, I don’t see Trump as a neo-Nazi. In fact, I think he actually made an attempt at bringing the two sides together after that terrible weekend. Since Charlottesville, bad actors on both sides have been tried and convicted ... and many haven’t. I know Trump haters will disagree, but try to be fair-minded ... as opposed to Uncle Joe.
