(11,122 posts)224. That's what got trump elected.
I do call it macho crap. You like macho crap, you must really like trump. He is fake macho crap on a stick.
Biden didn't call trump an asshole. He didn't thrash trump. He didn't cause trump one bit of pain or discomfort. He didn't do one thing for bringing the orange ass to justice. He just strutted and preened so that you would say how cool he is. He didn't do anything. It was high school, behind the gym, guys blowing shit stuff. I don't like that in my leaders. It is fake. It is shallow. It is pointless.
HRC had class. She didn't have the shiny that seems to mesmerize you though.

I think it might be better if Biden wanted to beat up Trump for his own satisfaction.
