Even Republicans know that their presidential nominee “betrays” American values, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday night.

Drawing chants of “Not a clue” from the floor of the Democratic Party convention in Philadelphia, Biden took Trump to task for his trademark reality TV slogan, “You’re fired”. Vladimir Putin, Russian president, was mentioned in Biden’s speech, too. Think about that. Think about what you learned as a child.
He also addressed Michelle Obama, saying, “I don’t know where you are kid, but you are incredible”. This guy (Trump) doesn’t have a clue about the middle class.
Pivoting to foreign policy, Biden struck a serious tone and said America “cannot elect a man who exploits our fears about ISIS and terrorism”.
While he spoke of the loss of Beau, he said, “I’ve been made strong at the broken places”, while he named family and those who supported him during the rough times as a source of strength.
Joe Biden gave a barn burner of a speech last night in Philadelphia on night three of the DNC.
Before assailing Trump, Biden sought to be a character witness to Hillary Clinton, whom he worked alongside as she served as secretary of state.
“His cynicism is unbounded”, he said of Trump. “She knows what is at stake when it comes to the decisions our government makes”. I know why we are held together.
Republicans had long speculated that the federal investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was U.S. secretary of state could result in criminal charges against her, forcing Biden to seek the nomination.
“He’s trying to tell us he cares about the Middle Class”, he said.
Making a strong pitch for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, Biden said the USA cannot elect a man who exploits fears of IS and other terrorists.
He is skewering Trump for suggesting he represents the middle class.
Biden had harsh words for Trump, who he painted as too reckless to occupt the Oval Office amid turmoil around the world.

“You know, I look at you, I say, I know you’re going to vote for Hillary”, Biden said. He talked about how important Hillary Clinton’s presidency would be to his daughters and granddaughters. “Actually, he has no clue period”, Biden, his voice trembling with emotion, said to cheers. When he segued to talking about Donald Trump, he asked the audience to stop booing and cheering. They put one foot in front of the other…that’s the unbreakable spirit of the people of America.
