Judging from the State of the Union rebuttal the other night, no one in the party is in charge of message quality control. You have to wonder who cleared that speech and that delivery for public (voter) viewing. It was if it was written by a twelve-year-old home school student, with no feel at all for connecting with an audience. The delivery was something akin to a very bad AI presentation in its awkwardness and clunkiness.
Lastly, with all the talk of Joe's age and supposed diminished mental capacity, the QOP sees fit to bring out an attractive but insincere and unsure woman who talks mindless banalities, making Joe Biden (by comparison) look like William Jennings Bryan delivering the Gettysburg Address.
Clowns can only do clown things, otherwise they might be actual representatives of the people.
