I like the positive chemistry between Joe and Jill. Her laugh when he nibled didn't deter her from making her point, however. Lol!

This constant barrage of criticism says more about the critics than Joe Biden. And I wonder how much of it is being driven by bots and the Trumpsters, desperate to pull the numbers down.

The attacks are just silly and stupid.

Sample from article:

Nope, he's definitely trying to take a bite out of her, or whatever the equivalent of a bite is when it's entirely lips. This probably won't alienate anyone who wasn't already put off by Biden's habit of getting into women's personal space. It admittedly looks more funny than creepy in the video, and for all we know this is normal behavior between the Bidens when they aren't in public. But the images from it are jarring nonetheless.

after he had signalled to the crowd how close her hand was getting to his mouth, got a laugh from them, and then did this. Which she immediately found funny too. He wasn't "invading her personal space"; she was unintentionally invading his, but they're husband and wife, and instinctively made it a joke.

Jesus, the media and Twitter are going to crap on everything every Democrat does, aren't they?
