In other words, Joe Biden is the best conservative (small c) POTUS of the 21st century.
I think this is where his age is a plus. Temperamentally, he's very conservative, and he refuses to get baited into arguments with the more online elements of both major parties. He's there to do the job, and he's doing it really well. The problem is the voters don't appreciate what he's managed to accomplish in an era of polarized government.
What I like about Joe is when he does show some anger, it's very matter of fact which carries it's own unique weight for the listener. I will never forget the first debate when he turns to Trump and says what we were all thinking. 'Will you shut up man."
I loved when he got the stupid Republicans at the State of Union to agree on live TV not to cut Medicare. Those fools thought a politician with 40 plus years of experience was going to faint because they were heckling him.
No, it hasn't. But he's got a lot of miles on him now and a lot of tragedy that's colored his soul. He's largely met the moment.
And when you look at Trump, who's regressed mentally and has no control over his impulses, any self described conservative should have an easy choice in front of them next November.
Yes! Change it to mature and show how TFG is immature. I've been thinking about this lately. His behavior - he never admits he's made a mistake, can't take responsibility for his actions - he reminds me of a 12 yr. old boy. The ad tag line is "Is this how you want your child to behave?" Maybe some illustrations of 12 yr olds with orange hair behaving like that.
I'm more for single digit ages. Many 12 year old have more maturity than TFG probably ever did. Perhaps ad campaign, showing kids behaving as poorly as TFG and asking, If your x year old child did that, would you approve? Of course, some progressives might think, sure, let him find his real self, but the risk is worth taking😏.
The poor kid is searching to find out who and what he really is, his "real" self. I apologize for using only the male gender, but it gets too difficult with all the options "AOC et al", love.

This is what I mean when I say that he's both the best lib POTUS and the best con POTUS of the last 30 years.

Yes, that hasn't always been his temperament--he mellowed with age and wisdom.
No, it hasn't. But he's got a lot of miles on him now and a lot of tragedy that's colored his soul. He's largely met the moment.

Yep, his age is a plus. The political strategists have to figure out how to turn "He's old" on its head.
You are only as old as you act. Biden is mature, TFG ... well, you understand.

Like those shots. But I didn't understand "let him find his real self".

Hmm, sympathy for him being immature at 77 years old? If he was really searching, but he's not and never will.
Not TFG, the symbolic kid who is acting as a kid could be excused for trying to find.... at least if you wanted to create an excuse for that behavior.
