There. what makes him so strong i think to democratic voters is the fact that they think he can beat trump and his authenticity. in the weird way the gaffes give him authenticity. let me just say, biden doesn t go out there and he doesn t look like some preprogrammed politician. he says what s on his mind. you can disagree with him and he makes his takes. but i think the way he handled jonathan s questions, those were some pointedly worded questions. he could have easily gone in many different directions, and he just i think smartly blew him off politely. i think you re right. joe biden s been doing this for a long time. when he answers these questions that are either confrontational or that he may not like, he knows how to handle it and brush it off his shoulder and answer well and move on. i think that long experience in politics, some people may see that in a negative. ....
Of evidence there s kind of a serious president in there who s doing good things. and he s just doing this for show. he s not really a racist. he s just doing a show. there is that group of voters. that s what they convince themselves of. what democrats are going to have to do is give themselves a permission structure to move away from trump because i think in some ways he has a personal connection to i think a lot of their voters. and i don t think they necessarily want to admit that they made a mistake or that trump is this crazy racist. so they re going to democrats are going to have to peel them away. you re not going to get them by saying, hey, he s a racist. exactly. i think where we re going to be able to potentially get these voters is on kitchen table issues and that trump has broken promises on things he said he was going to do, the cost of health care, infrastructure, prescription drugs. it feels like exhaustion and ....
Same way weirdoes in washington and new york are. and that s why we talk about the biden gaffes, we have to keep this in mind. chuck, i was watching a focus group a couple days ago. it was in a swing county in michigan. obama, obama, trump voters. and they were asking, you know, they were asking these folks about all of these different things. and just didn t bother them. it sort of you know, they were pretty much all going to vote for trump again. and some of the things that bothered them, they didn t like the tweeting. you know, they had some concerns about the staff turnover which was really interesting and they didn t like so it goes to competency. i have sought that i actually think that s something that democrats don t go at enough. it was really interesting to listen. there were things about the cost of living that popped as well. but i was just i mean, for democrats who believe that this is a demographic that is going ....
Goes down to which candidate is losing its slowest. is that going to be what we re debating? i think ultimately it s going to be who do the american people believe is looking out for them. what i m saying is, is that if trump was running against a republican or a jeb bush or a marco rubio, then it may be an issue. if biden was running in a field where the top contenders, maybe kamala gets up there. potentially could be an intern. but right now that s not where this race is headed. but that s not i mean, at the end of the day that s not what the question is going to be in the election. you sort of reeled off the low-hanging fruit about donald trump. the problem is that everybody knows that. i think we know that to a point about biden. but if you are looking for the enthusiasm of young people, which is what we see as really sort of the fire in the belly of the 2020 election. are young people going to come out and vote for uncle joe? i don t know, maybe. but, juana, the reason i ....
Competency i think are the two biggest problem trump faces more than any of these other things. i think that s right. i take to heart something michael bennet said if you elect me as president, you won t have to worry about me being president. you are the third reporter who s quoted michael bennet. yes, the exhaustion candidate. but i do think you do hear from these voter where s they don t want to hear about the latest tweet to your point every day. they want somebody that makes sure their family can do better than the generation before. they want sure they can afford health care if they get sick that, they have a planet that s safe and inhabitable and they don t want to deal with all of these eruptions and the chaos and confusion. but we are contradicting ourselves because we just said that people tune this out. at the same time and so i get that what bennet said resonated. but why does it resonate with us? because we re the weirdoes again. but we would be doing it anyway. le ....
