Yeah no, he definitely misspoke here, I doubt he would have roasted her like that in public on purpose. It's more likely he was trying to say "if". Hard to say what's going on his mashed potato brain, but that seems closer to his intent and other statements about her that he's made.
Calling her trump is definitely a mistake, given the context. But Biden ignores the actual question and clearly tells the reporter that she's not qualified and goes on to imply that only he is.
Biden is one of the worst people that ever lived. I don't know why people want so badly to believe otherwise.
I don't really get what you're saying. To take the quote at face value, it makes no sense. Setting aside the VP Trump gaff, you think he intentionally said he wouldn't have picked Harris as VP? So why did he? Especially if he believed she couldn't be a viable president, given his age? I'm not arguing Biden isn't a piece of shit - and I'm not sure what that has to do with anything I said. Especially considering him now endorsing her, to take this quote literally seems incredibly silly/bad faith.
He wanted Klob but BLM that summer made it inconvenient to nominate someone who openly railroaded an innocent black teen to score a conviction. She has some insane non apology for that where she bows out of contention for VP.
Kamala as VP isn't a desirable appointment but the output of some optimization problem of a loyal and connected insider with baggage that can most easily be deflected.
