Quotes

• Joe Biden, one of the things he is remarkable at is really kind of being a man of the people and resonating with middle class voters. Feeling like—coming off as human. His gaffes—as much as we make fun of them—to a certain extent they make him look human. So not, since he's likable... I think at the end of the day, probably Joe, although if Trump is against Joe, I think the juxtaposition of kind of the man of the people and kind of this tycoon, is a problem. Although Donald Trump's remarkably coming off as a man of the people despite being this wealthy business tycoon.
