The sound clip on the BBC this morning didn’t need much spinning.
Haven’t seen it - who do you think he was targeting with his remark?
Thanks
He’s not wrong but it is a gaff the Harris campaign could have done without.
Does he mean the team and supporting politicians or those “good, honest people” as flobil calls them. I don’t know, but I know which way the Trump campaign is going to spin it.
He should have been clearer that it is Trumps team and enablers.
@Susannah that is just what i mean, sneering!
It’s all an apostrophe in a teacup, “supporters” vs “supporter’s” delivered by a man the Republicans have already written off as senile and suffering from dementia.
I don’t think it will make one iota of a difference. People voting Democrat already know what Trump supporters are, so they’e not going to change their vote based on anything, no matter how misinterpreted, Biden says, and Trump supporters are still going to vote for him. So status quo.
Fort goodness sakes, stop digging.
Agreed.
It’s the 5-10% of “undecided” voters that are going to decide things (ironically).
I don’t think they’re listening to doddery Joe though, and even if so less prone to offence and umbrage than after Clintons’s gaff. Nobody knew just how dreadful he would be the first time around.
I’d be much more worried by the Muslim vote. With the current Genocide the balance between keeping the Jewish (more leverage than volume I would think) and Muslim vote onboard is tricky.
They may be ordinary folk getting on with their lives, and I agree with you, but they say the darndest things…
Powerful stuff in the embedded X video Though he sounds like an actor to me
Indeed if you look at the transcript it’s clear he’s only referencing Hinchcliffe
It seems typical of the RW to have enemies who simultaneously represent diametrically opposed threats - immigrants are at the same time lazy and claiming benefits but also taking all the jobs, for instance.
As I said - it is a gaff because it can be spun into something it is not. But it’s clear Biden was not claiming all Trump supporters are garbage. Just one.
But then, if the cap fits…
Schrodinger’s immigrant, I believe.
Quite.
As opposed to Schrödinger’s umlaut.
Pedant
I prefer “peasant”.
