I challenge Ron to name the hallmark of Biden's political career. What's his top accomplishment? For that matter, what's ONE MILD accomplishment of his?
You're on the clock.
When he was on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Joe blocked Jeff Sessions from becoming a federal judge in 1986. Time has proven Joe to be right. Jeff Sessions is a walking trash heap.
Joe also blocked the nomination of Robert Bork, an unrepentant racist, to the Supreme Court in 1987.
Obama would have struggled to get elected without Joe Biden bringing seniors and old guard Democrats on board. Obama was a huge hit with younger voters, but he needed Joe to balance the ticket.
There are three MILD accomplishments for you. Now, for his TOP accomplishment.
Joe Biden is one of, if not THE, most experienced politician to ever win the Presidency. He knows everyone at every political level both domestic and foreign. He has experience in every socio-political circle on the planet from the Madrid to Moscow and Sydney to Shanghai. His face is known, his voice is familiar, and his negotiating ability is renowned around the world. We live in an era of globalization and Joe spent 8 years touring the globe under Obama. Barack had domestic affairs well in hand so Joe was free to make friends among our allies (the same allies Donald Trump alienated for 4 years) and clearly define US interests among our enemies. This experience will be a huge factor as Joe heals the wounds that Donald Trump opened. What is Joe Biden's #1 accomplishment? Being the right man for the job. I know it's kind of a novel idea after 4 years of Trump's Amateur Hour played out across the globe.
