Did a FoxNews host actually figure out Biden's appeal?

Former Vice President Joe Biden's recent comment that he could be open to choosing a Republican running mate reminded Fox & Friends guest co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy of another American leader—President Donald Trump.

"There's an element of Trump in there," Campos-Duffy said on Tuesday. "You just don't know what's going to come out of Joe Biden and I think that the voters really want that."

As much as I can't stand that dimwit, she may actually be on to something. I think a lot of people are wondering why the hell Joe Biden hasn't collapsed in the polls so far. Every gaffe and misstatement has been picked on and picked at on the internet and TV, but yet Biden still holds a commanding lead in the polls. Maybe it's simply Joe is Joe. He's an old school politician that doesn't use talking points and sound like everything that comes out of his mouth is poll tested. I think Americans appreciate Joe Biden's honestly and faults and how he says what he means. This is why he'll be the next president of the United States.

1. For me the appeal of Joe is that he's NOT tRUMP! Whaddya think?

2. Think it's a matter of trust

Voters feel they know who Joe Biden is as a man, where his heart resides. Yes, he's old school but he's an old school liberal and people feel comfortable with that. The fact that he's experienced, qualified and knowledgeable of the world we live in are extra points in the overall sum of the man.

The country is in trouble, desperately so. We need someone to take the reins on Day 1, restore our institutions and rule of law, heal our foreign alliances and put us on a track of progress for the future.

But more than anything else? We need someone to beat the pants off Trump and his acolytes. Because this Administration is toxic to democracy, not to mention decency.

Joe Biden can bring it home. And voters sense that.

4. If he is nominated I'd like to see him offer the VP to Hillary..n/t

5. It's not...

that's people are excited that they "don't know what's going to come out of his mouth." It's more that the things he says that opponents try to use to attack him, an average person sees as being petty.

The difference in Biden and Trump, however, is that the things Biden says aren't demagogic.
