    I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’d be fully convinced even if he does well. Why? Because Biden ran on taking the fight to Trump. He campaigned on using his Irish fighting spirit to push the bully back and anything but that has happened.

    Moreover this won’t be seen by a fraction of the number of people who saw that debate. Little said here can detract from what people saw of Biden’s “bad days” during that debate.

    I wish him luck because I want to be convinced he’s our best shot, but it’s going to take more than one good interview, personally.

      Biden ran on a return to sensibility, bipartisan dialogue and functional government. That’s the opposite of “taking the fight” to anyone. He didn’t start acting aggressive in the slightest until the last State of the Union.

      He even went out of his way to sound calm most of the time.

        Quotes from post 2019 Trump vs. Biden debate:

        Trump is “the bully I knew my whole life,” Biden told CNN in an interview. “He’s the bully I’ve always stood up to.”

        Biden was asked how Democratic voters can have confidence that he’s up to taking on Trump when he had trouble sparring in last week’s debate against party rivals.

        “I don’t think I’m having trouble sparring. It’s how you want to spar,” Biden said. “This is ironic. I’ve never been accused of not being able to spar. I’ve been accused of being too aggressive.”

        Biden said he would beat Trump by “pointing out who I am and who he is and what we’re for and what he’s against.”

        “This guy is the ‘divider-in-chief,’” said Biden, who added he will “fight without being personal” in this campaign.

        Let’s not forget in Biden’s own words, he decided to run for President following Trump’s words over the neo-nazi rally in Charlottesville.

          Pretty tame stuff really. Video would also show he spoke pretty softly and soothingly during that debate if memory serves. I watched it live.
