Take a look at the video that Joe Biden posted on Twitter in response to allegations of sexual misconduct against him. Watch it all so you can understand my analysis.
This isn't an apology video. The former VP is angry. He says, "sorry you're offended at what a successful politician does - connect with people. But...okay...I'll be more sensitive in the future to your oversensitivity!" Look how he justifies in the behavior in the video by connecting it to comforting people suffering tragedy.
A frustrated Biden should get accustomed to more frustration at the campaign trail. Yes, he's running - he's already made calls to key Democratic activists in Iowa.
A recent poll says that Democrat consider him to be a moderate candidate. Iowa Democrats want a winner first-and-foremost, so he definitely is in the top tier of Democratic candidates. BUT Biden is going to be shocked by how much the party base has changed even in the short time that has elapsed since the 2016 election.
A huge part of the Democratic base has become obsessed with identity politics - assigning people to "people groups" and then assigning the group a list of grievances that can only be addressed by far-left governance.
It will be fascinated to see Joe's undisguised frustration on display as he navigates a field that's embracing a socialist takeover of the economy and policies like eliminating the electoral college and reparations.
