To address his gaffes, Biden has to charge straight into the problem and own it, writes columnist DoyleMcManus.
I once sat next to Joe Biden at an event where one of the speakers committed a classic gaffe: He unintentionally uttered an obscenity into a live microphone. The offending speaker wasn’t Biden; it was me.
“There’s no question that there’s a concern about Biden’s age,” a Democratic strategist who isn’t affiliated with a candidate told me. “He looks and sounds like he’s from a different era than almost everyone else on that stage.” If the question is whether Biden can withstand public scrutiny, he should be doing more public events, not fewer.this week. They are spinning all this as a plus, saying Biden isn’t over-packaged, that he’s always spoken his mind, unfiltered, and that’s why voters love him.
“There’s an awful lot of really good Republicans out there,” he said at a fundraiser in Massachusetts last weekend. “I get in trouble for saying that with Democrats.”
