In reply to the discussion: I was wrong about Joe Biden [View all]littlemissmartypants
(22,841 posts)17. All those years, his entire working life in fact, has been spent in service to America.
All the time intelligently, disarmingly, playfully, humbly and rigorously he was systematically building a solid foundation of social capital.
Banking countless forged connections in and out of the government.
He's now using his big bank of social capital to get things done for the nation.
He's hustled his entire life for others and now these folks can literally take that hustle to the bank.
He's a masterful politician that knows, cares and works tirelessly.
He gets things done while others his age sit home shouting at the TV.
I'm completely in awe.

His critics forget that he could've quit the Senate and made lots of money in a law firm anytime

This! The right is only impressed & motivated by $$. Biden cares about actual human beings.

Exactly. Gotta know where the levers of power are and how much pressure to apply on each one
