i wouldn't have cared if not for the comments justifying their support for Trump and attacking Hillary for calling trump supporters deplorable. i guess they were just fine with the attacks on women and minorities.
another thing Biden will have to deal with if he runs is questions about the Russian attack on the election and whether he should have done more.
<Vice President Joe Bidens younger brother unloaded Monday on Hillary Clintons failed 2016 campaign saying his sibling would have won Pennsylvania, would have campaigned aggressively in Michigan and would not have insulted voters as deplorables.
We never would have lost Pennsylvania, and all my relatives the Finnegan family [his moms family] who voted for Donald Trump because they felt slighted by Hillary and her campaign, Frank Biden, 65, told Floridas Palm Beach Post.
Joe Biden, 76, is a native of Scranton.
We never would have not gone to Michigan as the [Clinton] campaign decided not to do because they felt entitled to the votes of those people. Assumptive politics is losing politics. You have to work for every single vote and people have to know individually, collectively and severally that you care about them, that theyre important.
He also described as idiotic Clintons use of the term deplorables to describe Trump voters.
The idea of declaring a whole swath of people deplorables is just the most idiotic political calculation, number one, and two, the most in the Catholic Church, they would call that the sin of pride. Who in Gods name am I to say that you have a fundamentally wrong moral position? Talk about lacking humility, the younger Biden said.>

(51,801 posts)Fortunately, he didn't breed, since he hates kids. He's as dumb as a box of rocks too. He's racist, sexist and homophobic---the trifecta.
I feel for Biden on this.
Jimmy Carter had an embarrassing brother too, as did Bill Clinton.

bigots are deplorable. Hillary decided to "backtrack" from that assertion. I thought, at the time, she should have "doubled down" - the thing that was wrong, possibly, was the number of Deplorables, or the percentage she gave. She might have got some Trump-level saturated attention by saying, "You're damn right, bigots are deplorable!"
also, this Biden bro sounds like he would have voted for Trump even if Hillary went to the Moon and walked on water... who does he think he's fooling?
