Joe Biden tore through Donald Trump in a blistering speech to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Wednesday that fired up the crowd of delegates. “Not a clue. Actually, he has no clue, period”. They also know Trump was being sarcastic when he said he hoped the Russians have Hillary’s 30,000 missing emails. Earlier on Wednesday, Trump encouraged the Russians to obtain Clinton’s emails from her private server, a statement that shocked and anxious national security observers.

“We can not elect a man who exploits our fears, who has no plan, who embraces the tactics of our enemies”.
Vice President Biden tells Democratic Convention that Trump cannot be trusted with presidency. That’s not who we are, it betrays our values. “It alienates those who we need in the fight against ISIS”.
By far the biggest speech of the night was to come from Obama, 12 years to the day after he electrified the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston with a keynote address that propelled him to the White House.
Biden said, “That’s why I’m going to be living in Pennsylvania and OH and MI”.
“I don’t think any man or woman should run for president unless, No. 1, they know exactly why they would want to be president and, No. 2, they can look at folks out there and say, ‘I promise you, you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy, and my passion to do this, ‘” Biden told CBS’s Stephen Colbert during an emotional interview last September.
Trump criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) for saying that he wants to lower the minimum wage, a claim the Republican nominee said was not true.
“His cynicism is unbounded”, Biden said, citing a lack of empathy and compassion summed up in Trump’s signature catchphrase, “You’re fired”.
He used that rationale to justify that Trump can not be in line with middle class values. “He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class?” “Give me a break. That’s a bunch of malarkey!” Biden was known to have wanted one last shot at the White House and many Democrats, even those who eventually supported Clinton, thought Biden’s middle class grit and ability to connect with voters would make him the party’s best shot to win again in 2016.
Levelling a blistering attack on Donald Trump, Vice-President Joe Biden put on his rhetorical hat as “middle-class Joe” Wednesday and told Democratic delegates and millions of television viewers that the billionaire businessman “has no clue” about the needs of working-class people or what makes the nation great.
“God willing, Hillary Clinton will write the next chapter in that journey”, he said, calling the 21st century America’s century.

“If (Clinton) is smart, and she is smart, she’ll find plenty of ways for him to contribute to the good of this country and the world”, he said. Everybody knows she is tough. “But I know what she is passionate about”, he said.
