Joe Biden Turns MAGA Into A WMD Against Trump In Iowa

"SNIP......

The presidency is not without limits. It’s not without limits. It’s a co-equal branch of the government. The Senate, the House, the Congress. As well as-as well as with courts. And folks, I’m not naive, you know, some say this is an old fashioned way of doing things.

Well, if it’s old fashioned way of doing things, we’re in real trouble. If the idea that the very thing that holds the biggest democracy in the world together as it has now for us, is old fashioned. Then I ask you, how did we last for all these years? Because of these documents we say we believe. We hold all these truths self-evident. No other country in the world is as unique as America. We’re unique in all history because of the nature of who we are and the system we created to engage everyone. And it’s being ripped. Look, I don’t think it’s naive or an old fashioned way of doing things that says the system has to be rest I think it’s time to — as he says let’s make America great again. Let’s make America America again.

.......

What separates Joe Biden from the rest of the Democratic primary field is that he is taking on Trump, but that he is engaging this president on an emotional level. Biden is talking to America about the tone of the country under Trump. Biden’s argument is that Trump is un-American. Trump isn’t trying to make America great again. He is trying to undo America’s greatness by destroying the pillars of democracy.

1. The former vice president gets it, and he knows how to speak to the unease that Trump has caused.

MAGA has been turned against Trump and used as a reason to defeat this president.

Mahalo, apple!

His experience as VP gives him a different POV. I said when he declared that he has nothing to lose so he can go out there and be the pitbull all the way

If he is not the nominee, I feel confident he will continue to go after #45 all the way to election day

No matter who gets the nomination, they need look no farther for their Cabinet, Chief of Staff, advisors, etc.

8. exactly. Example, Beto O'Rourke would be a perfect Secretary of Veterans Affairs

He served on the VA committee in Congress and another military related one as well. He has spoken so eloquently about our veterans too.

I would hope that those who are in the Senate are not pulled into the cabinet though unless it is a dead certainty that their replacement would be a Democrat.

But we know (or should know) that as individuals they are not mono-focal, but will carry the whole Dem agenda forward given the chance. I'm glad one's focussing on the environment, another on foreign policy, another on family policy. Joe is carrying the fight to Trump.

Bless them all.

Plus she is excellent at being for a lot of new initatives and explains how she'll get them done.

So she does both.
