i ve always been insufferable, joe this is not something new. so here s the thing, joe biden has with stood a media narrative that from day one was he s old, he s a gaff machine, he s yesterday s news, he can t get anything right. this has been the media narrative on him. and frankly, it has been like a blanket over him from the day he started. his polling numbers surprisingly have held up very, very well. yes, as the country got familiar with elizabeth warren she has done better. and bernie is kind of stuck. but the point is that i m not really aware of another candidate, keep in mind that bernie is older than joe biden. and keep in mind that he has always been somebody who s said things weird through the years. this is not new. this is not a function of his age. this is a function of joe biden being joe biden.
campaign. nobody in that room less concerned about his ability to beat donald trump. his deputy campaign manager tells the times joe biden has spoken his mind his entire life, which voters know and love about him. he s a real person, he s authentic and that will never change. his poll numbers remain pretty steady. you said you think he will not be the nominee. but is that a risk that these other candidates can afford to take because if they just let him be out there and they don t start attacking him more forcefully even on this issue, could they end up being him with the nomination? it s a possibility but i don t think it s going to happen. i totally agree with that advice to joe biden. i want joe biden to be joe because joe will collapse. joe is just not that strong. joe is a gaff machine. he s been wrong on historical positions. he s the front runner simply because he s the front runner. when that veil is pierced, he s gonna plunge. i still think he is set up
pick on the president. sandra: peter doocy thank you more. bill: good morning to you in washington. good morning, bill. bill: here s another sample from joe biden on the campaign trail. watch this. we choose science over fiction. we choose truth over facts. that can be determined soon. bill: that was from last thursday and friday. what did we learn from his campaign, byron? joe biden has always been a gaff machine through his long career. he s made tons of misstatements. but after 36 years in the senate and eight years as vice president, it s true some voters and democratic strategists are
a couple missteps. never. the gaff machine. a see a lot of parallels between joe biden and i ve not seen this since jeb bush not since they were lansing jeb bush have i seen the political press unified. they hate joe biden like god hates sin. yet, here he is all the things wrong he s eating ice cream. sandra: can he stand up to donald trump, steve bannon answered that with maria over the weekend. i don t see anybody on the stage that can take on donald trump one-on-one. joe biden is weak on china and if the democratic party thinks
come out too. so there is multiple potential critics now for everything biden is saying and so the gaffs matter. he said i m a gaff machine, what a wonderful thing compared to the guy who can t tell the truth comparing himself to president trump and there is this overlay of joe biden said this but you know what he meant. look at what president trump says which is horrific and in some cases racist or racially tinges. what do you make of it all. there is a case that one of joe biden s appeals has been this tell you how it is approach to politics. he speaks very candidly. he does speak off the cuff. but it has also been a liability when he has these moments that of the slip-ups where he said something that at a minimum comes off as racially insensitive. i don t think anyone will look at the statement and accuse the former vice president of being racist. i think his record obviously speaks for itself in terms of the work he s done around racial equality but at the same time the big c
