He is doing just fine all by himself, what the racist said yesterday was beyond belief. If that was Trump the media would have went bizerk. Instead they protect him.

Biden's been around a long time. We know a lot about who he is, what he's made of and how he conducts business and personal affairs. I'm in no way influenced by anything I hear from Russia or anybody. I know all I need to know about the man from what I've heard and seen myself.

He's doing it to himself 😂 all they gotta do is let him speak and he does it to himself

You don’t say! 🙄

I knew no person could be that incoherent on his own

Joe Biden is undermining his own candidacy
