22. The whine about Biden's suit is just dumb and dumber

Mar 2020

Even the complaint about how much money the Biden's have made is pointless because Bernie Sanders rolled in the dough from his own book sales. When questioned about the money, the extra homes, Sanders was irritated and flip: I wrote and sold books!

Joe Biden's career has never been marked by large sums of money. His colleagues raked in enormous amounts while Joe Biden rode back and forth on Amtrak for God's sake.

As for the suit? Yes, Biden was perfectly tailored for the debate. He looked and sounded presidential. And you know what? Bernie Sanders can afford a decent, well-tailored suit, too. That rumpled look is Bernie's choice, not a case of a depleted bank account.

These arguments are lame. It's just a sign that the Benjamin Dixon's of the world know that the optics during the debate were clearly to Biden's advantage. And whose fault was that? That would be Bernie. Not a class struggle, a personal choice.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
