Joe Biden is no Hillary Clinton, and that's a problem for President Trump
Joe Biden is old. He has a paper trail reaching back half a century. He is, by his own admission, a"gaffe machine" who regularly trips over his own tongue.
His best — and possibly only — chance of winning a second term is making Biden seem the more unpalatable of the two; turning the election, in the political shorthand, into a choice between candidates rather than a referendum on Trump's personality and performance. Story continuesBut even Trump strategists privately concede the affable Biden is nowhere near as unpopular or easy to demonize as Clinton.The 77-year-old retired financial planner from Sun City, a senior living community outside Phoenix, backs Trump's bid for a second term, citing the president's tough stance on immigration and the way the economy hummed before COVID-19 forced businesses into a medically induced coma.
"Joe Biden has been in public service for 47 years," said Sadler, communications director for America First Action, which has advertised heavily on Trump's behalf."Now he's campaigning promising to fix the problems he helped create when he was in office." Part of the reason may be that Clinton had already been a Republican target for decades — starting with her husband's 1992 presidential campaign and continuing through her years as first lady, a U.S. senator from New York and Obama's secretary of State — by the time she became the Democratic nominee.
There is no doubt misogyny fueled some of the anti-Clinton rancor as well, a problem Biden obviously doesn't face.
