As Biden Steps Into DNC Spotlight, A Lingering ‘What If’

By all of you, and I mean this sincerely, those who have been through this, you know I mean what I say – by all of you, your love and prayers and support. “Sorry Joe, that was Ted Cruz!”

“Throughout his career, Trump has left behind a well-documented record of bankruptcies, and thousands of lawsuits, and angry shareholders and contractors who feel cheated, and disillusioned customers who feel they’ve been ripped off”, Bloomberg said. “The America I know is decent and generous”, the president said.

Referring to Clinton, Biden said “Everybody knows she’s smart, everybody knows she’s tough, but I know what she’s passionate about”.

During his remarks, some Bernie Sanders supporters began to chant “No More War!” but were drowned out by counter chants of “USA, USA”.

The vice president is telling the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia that he’s known as “middle-class Joe” in the nation’s capital – and he says that’s not a compliment.

“His cynicism is unbounded”, Biden said, citing a lack of empathy and compassion summed up in Trump’s signature catchphrase, “You’re fired”.

Biden will speak at the convention, along with President Obama, on Wednesday night. “We just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet”.

“That’s what Hillary Clinton understands”, Mr. Obama said.

The whole Tim Kaine thing is a meme now.

Instead, he called on Russian Federation to find the missing emails from Hillary Clinton’s personal server, since they probably contain “some beauties”. He followed the man he hopes to succeed, Biden, a beloved figure among Democrats who was vintage Joe during his convention farewell as vice president. Democrats have done right by those voters but haven’t communicated with them enough, he told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.

Kaine cast the contest between Clinton and Republican Donald Trump as a choice between building a “community of respect” or embracing “the politics of division”.

“Hillary gets it”, he said. Barack Obama needed to add foreign policy heft and an experienced political hand to his ticket, he looked to the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who was 19 years his senior.

Trump, Obama said, is the one casting the country in a negative light by campaigning on paranoia. “A man who confuses bluster with strength, we simply can not let that happen as Americans”.

Obama weaved his praise for the Democratic nominee with continued sharp rebukes for Trump, who, the president said, “cozies up to Putin” and “praises Saddam Hussein”.

“You know, you know, there’s been a lot of talk in this campaign about what America has lost – people who tell us that our way of life is being undermined by pernicious changes and dark forces beyond our control”.

During a press conference in Florida on Wednesday, the GOP presidential nominee suggested he could reverse the US policy of not recognizing Russia’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula.

The vice president tells the Democratic National Convention that Trump – the GOP presidential nominee – offers policies that are more in line with the United States’ adversaries.

“Tonight I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton, what you did for me”, President Obama said.

“I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill, nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America”. I don’t think we should look at Republicans as our enemy. Obama’s keynote speech could be the final chance of his presidency to address a crowd of millions of people before a prime-time television audience. But he said the leak is consistent with Russia’s past conduct.

Democrats stepped up their attacks on Donald Trump Wednesday as they prepared to nominate Virginia Sen.

Biden made the most of his moment, saying that Donald Trump’s claim to care about the middle class was “a bunch of malarky!” It’s a lovefest now. “The America I know is full of courage, and optimism, and ingenuity”.

“She’s a natural leader, she’s a good organizer, and she’s the best darn change-maker I’ve ever met in my entire life”, he added. “In the case of the President and Vice President, of working directly with Hillary as a senator and secretary of state”.
