    Default Biden attacks Trump voters ( then says he can win them back)

    At a virtual fundraiser Wednesday night, Joe Biden laughed off the possibility of appealing to President Trump's base -- and then directly attacked some Trump voters, drawing comparisons from journalists and the Trump campaign to Hillary Clinton's infamous "basket of deplorables" moment during the 2016 campaign.

    The event, hosted by Joe Kiani -- the founder and CEO of the Masimo Corporation -- and Sarah Kiani -- a board member of the Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation and Competition -- drew about 55 attendees online, according to the Biden campaign. During a question-and-answer session,
    Biden responded "probably not" when someone asked if he could win over Trump supporters, and then he launched into a scathing critique.

    “There are people who support the president because they like the fact that he is engaged in the politics of division," Biden said.

    "They really support the notion that, you know, all Mexicans are rapists and all Muslims are bad and... dividing this nation based on ethnicity, race.
    This is the one [sic] of the few presidents who succeeded by deliberately trying to divide the country, not unite the country.”

    However, at the fundraiser, Biden went on to say that based on data his team has collected,
    Trump's base is “among the people I grew up with, white working-class, high-school educated people.”

    He said these people were “going through a really difficult transition” in 2016 and that Trump said to them: “‘Look, the reason that you're being hurt is because the Democrats did this to you. They don't care about you. You're the forgotten man’... Well, as soon as he got elected, you forgot the forgotten man,” Biden said.

    “It’s about dignity. ... He doesn’t seem to give a damn about it, he doesn’t talk about it at all, he has no sense of empathy,” Biden said, referring to Trump
    “That’s why I think the Democratic party will be able to win those folks back.”

    The people who voted Republican last time... who don’t want to vote for Trump, whether they want to vote for me or not is a different story, but they don’t want to vote for Trump, they’re looking for an alternative and I think, I hope to God, I can provide that alternative…I really mean it. I think there’s a chance,” Biden went on.
    Biden's generalization was seemingly not nearly as sweeping as Clinton's, but the Trump campaign argued the substance of the claim was the same.

    "Hillary Clinton in 2016 openly smeared white, working-class Trump voters as 'deplorables,'" the Trump campaign said in a statement. "Four years later, Joe Biden is picking up where Hillary left off. In a private, virtual fundraiser with wealthy liberal donors last night, Biden 'laughed' that he had no plans to reach out to Trump voters in November, condescendingly describing them all as deplorable racist xenophobes, just as Hillary did in 2016."
    His virtual events, which usually draw a viewership of approximately 1,000 to 2,000, have been marred by some technical glitches and apparent snafus. In one virtual town hall, Biden appeared to read from a teleprompter, and even said "quote" at one point -- suggesting that his script contained a phrase in quotation marks.

    Based on all the quotes attributed to Biden in posts 1 and 2, he sounds pretty bloody articulate and lucid.

    I hate to think the worst about anyone, but I wonder if rightwing message board posters were lying their asses off about believing Biden was afflicted with dementia?

    Wrong, even your article says "Trump's base," and there he is 100% correct, as we know, and Trump knows, if he shot someone on 5th Ave in the middle of the day he would not lose their votes, and you think Biden is wrong when he says he'd never win their vote?

    Looks accurate to me. I'm still trying to figure out how the pill head claimed that Biden thinks he'll win them back?

    They believe what they're told to believe.

    Truth is, they're desperate and they hope he's demented.

    There's also a bit of projection. There is no doubt that trump suffers dementia.
