It seems like Trump is getting a lot more “hate” lately, whatever that means. Even the current Vice-President is tearing into Trump. During a rally for Hillary in Pennsylvania earlier today, the vice-president excoriated Donald Trump for his “un-American” ideas.
What Biden Had To Say
This was Biden’s first stop with Hillary on the campaign trail. A stop that was, consequently, in the Vice President’s home town. While citing his numerous years of experience in politics, Biden had this to say about Donald Trump:
“No major party nominee in the history of the United States of America…has known less or been less prepared to deal with our national security than Donald Trump.”
Biden also went on to talk about foreign policy, stating that Trump “could not be trusted” with the US nuclear codes. Continuing on foreign policy, Biden stated:
“I was proud my son Beau served for a year in Iraq,” Biden said. “I must tell you had Donald Trump been president I would have thrown my body in front of him…to keep him from going if the judgement was based on Trump’s decision.”
The Vice-President also said that:
“If my son were still in Iraq, and I say to all those who are still there, the threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks.”
This is no doubt the first of many stops Biden will make with Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail for November.
Many Believe Same Thing
Biden’s speech illustrated what many Americans are feeling right now. One of the biggest weaknesses with Trump’s campaign is his positions and overall experience with foreign policy. Many experts admit they do not have a clue what he will do with national security or the middle east if he is elected president.
I personally believe that Biden and other democrats are demonizing Donald Trump, and blowing his image out of proportion. I also believe, however, that he does not have the filter or the experience to become the next president of the free world.
That does not mean I would ever want to choose Hillary Clinton as our next president. I will leave you with this quote from a Pew Research Center, 2016 election poll:
“Roughly four-in-ten voters (41%) say it is difficult to choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton because neither would make a good president – as high as at any point since 2000. And just 11% say the choice is difficult because neither would make a good chief executive, the lowest percentage during this period.”
