Lifting part of a sentence from about 20 minutes isn't very fair. What happened just before and just after he said "he just doesn't get trump"?

I think he did a great job yesterday afternoon - on Nicole Wallace's show and with Jake Tapper on CNN a little early. His appearance on The View was a little awkward because they didn't have the sound well synched.

This is all a new way of "campaigning", it'll get better.

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

Can you provide more context on Biden's comment? beastie boy Mar 2020 #14
It's been taken out of context here and blown way out of proportion. Sad that some have to do that. George II Mar 2020 #23
