Watch Joe Biden's amazing rant about Trump bragging that he didn’t pay taxes

excerpts from VP Biden's speech yesterday:

"This is a guy who said -- and wants to be president -- that it was good business for him to see the housing market fail. What in the hell is he talking about?" Biden said during a rally at Drexel University. "Every president I have served with, including Republicans, has had a moral center about what it was to be an American, about what we’re supposed to do, about what basic fundamental rights are."

"He acknowledged that he didn’t pay taxes because, he said, he’s smart. Makes him smart," Biden said. "Tell that to the janitor in here who’s paying taxes. Tell that to your mothers and fathers who are breaking their neck to send you here who are paying their taxes. No I really mean it. It angers me.”

He has this wonderful way of delivering points, in such a quiet, and deeply sincere way. The softer his voice, the more poignant his words.

Grrrr! The more I hear about this, the angrier I get. Trump is such a sickening excuse for a human being.

Joe, Joe, Joe you are the greatest. He lays it all out there in plain speaking truth, and no one can deliver such a honest and damaging critique of this horrible man. Most days I just shake my head in disbelief that the Republican Party has stooped so low.
