politics. in an attempt to spark enthusiasm, he released a powerful campaign ad that contrasted his foreign policy chops with reaction from world leaders, to trump that painted the president as a literal laughingstock. biden picked up the endorsement of former secretary of state john kerry who joined him on the campaign trail, but it wasn t all good. a run-in with a hostile voter showed a different side of biden, not one that everyone liked, but he s still on top. here to discuss is mitch landrieu. mr. mayor biden has been taking heavy incoming from the moment he entered the race. he s had gaffs, far from perfect moments, yet has remained a front-runner through all of it. to what do you attribute his staying power? i think that people know him, and people like him.
maybe qualities of humanity were the lost, maybe kinds of people were lost they were better having around today. nothing s too good for the man who shot liberty valance. this movie is like liberty valance. good guy is not necessarily the good guy anymore. this becomes heightened with the genre throughout the 60s. leone kind of turns the western on his ear and because he was italian they became known as spaghetti westerns even though most of them were shot in in spain. his big mistake i think was getting born. sergio lyon took the syntax of the western gun fights, the empty streets. get three coffins ready and raised it up not surface and dropped out everything else.
