    "I get overwhelming support from the black leadership young and old. Every poll shows me way ahead and it's not, I hear this, oh yeah, all blacks are rich Biden but young guy look at the polling data falling. Analysts say it's off by half. Come on, man.Give me a little break here. This is where I come from."

    -Joe Biden

    Is he trying to make a point or did he simply throw a dictionary down a spiral staircase?

    I love when people focus in on Joe Biden’s Gaffs but ignore Trumps word salads and porkies

    I love how you accuse me of ignoring Trump's "word salad and porkies" when I do no such thing. I can only assume that you trying to change the focus to Trump and away from Biden that you too have no idea what he was trying to say. Don't worry. Neither does Biden.

    Biden wasn't just born black child, he invented black people.

    No, but you cannot ignore one and highlight the other

    If Biden’s misspeaking is a concern then Trumps word salads should beget equal focus

    Actually I can in a thread about the one and not the other. Aside from that what was the biggest news story of the day? I'll give you a hint, it involves the one candidate who when flustered challenges his voters to a push-up contest.

    I can actually follow what Trump said. It is wordy and weird, but he always has been. Biden on the other hand use to be eloquent with a gaff here and there. Now he is literally falling apart mentally. He is clearly declining and has been for the past ten years of so. I may not vote for Trump because I dislike his politics. But I cannot vote for Biden because he is not fit for the office physically. He cannot do the job while Trump just does the job badly.

    ...its not the words that count....its their meaning....I mean they have meaningful meanings that mean so much! It's really mean of those that take the meanings and make them mean things they don't mean, I mean that's just really mean!! Trump says what he means and means what he says!

    I'm pretty good at stuff like this, figuring out what people mean or are trying to say. Spent my whole life doing it. But I'm stumped.

    I would have held my nose and voted for any of the Democrats that were running other then Biden. He was the only one that was not competent.

    Try to stay on topic. This one is all about Crazy Uncle Joe and his daily wackiness.

    Sure. It’s fish out of water speak. The probability of it occurring escalates after one spews something utterly ridiculous. F.O.W. speak is often witnessed in its most common environment, male-female relationships.

    I think Biden's problem is that he's a phony. You see it in his language and in his smile.

    Acting like you're something you're not always causes incoherence. You notice how he uses that word "man" all the time? That's a throwback to the 60s. So he's out of date as well. I guess he thinks he can connect with boomers if he talks like they did 50 years ago.

    Fake, out of date, and old, spell ...

    Biden.

    So you see when you remove , "oh yeah, all blacks are rich Biden but young guy look at the polling data falling. Analysts say it's off by half." Which he did not say and it becomes much clearer. Start at the 6:15 mark.

    So it begs the question, why did you or your source edit what he said to make it unintelligible? Is it in effort to deflect from the cofefe champ of word salad?

    Where did you get the idea that people don't make fun of what Trump says and how he says it.

    Do you believe someone "aint black" if they don't vote for Biden?
