An impassioned Vice President Joe Biden tore into Donald Trump, assailing him as the least prepared candidate for president in history, calling out his “malarkey” and saying he had “no clue” during his speech at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night.

The delegates ate it up, chanting “not a clue, not a clue” and jumping to their feet over and over, waving signs that read simply “Joe”. “Give me a break!” “That’s a bunch of malarky”, Biden said.
Expressing his willingness to pass the baton to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, U.S. President Barack Obama has said that he is more optimistic about the future of America than ever before.
“He never tells you how he’s going to do any of the things he says he’s going to do”, Kaine planned to say. “We believe in the American Dream”. “We can not elect a man who belittles our closest allies while embracing dictators like Vladimir Putin”.
And once again for the cheap seats in the back…here’s the best zinger in gif form.
Then he quickly segued into a harsh comparison with Trump, taking note of his own nickname as “middle-class Joe”. He noted how everyone is aware of how intelligent she is and how tough.
“Tonight, I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton what you did for me. But as I’ve traveled this country, through all fifty states; as I’ve rejoiced with you and mourned with you, what I’ve also seen, more than anything, is what is right with America”.
“Think about that”, said Biden, his voice growing angrier.
“Hillary knows we can insist on a lawful and orderly immigration system while still seeing striving students and their toiling parents as loving families, not criminals or rapists”.
There was some talk – mostly Democratic fantasies – about Biden potentially staying on as vice president, becoming Hillary Clinton’s running mate.
“Trump has left behind a well-documented record of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits, angry shareholders and contractors who feel cheated, and disillusioned customers who feel ripped off”, Bloomberg said. But I know what she’s passionate about. His lack of empathy and compassion can be summed up in a phrase I suspect he’s most proud of having made famous: “You’re fired”.

“If you agree that there’s too much inequality in our economy, and too much money in our politics, we all need to be as vocal and as organized and as persistent as Bernie Sanders’ supporters have been”, Obama said. “We Democrats have always had plenty of differences with the Republican Party, and there’s nothing wrong with that; it’s precisely this contest of ideas that pushes our country forward”.
