A big, big win for Biden on substance. And he just gave the base exactly the shot in the arm it needed.

The only thing I do worry about is how the smirking and occasional laughing will play with the incredibly dumb "undecided" voters who apparently base their votes on that sort of immaterial thing.

That is a fairly condescending statement. I know several undecided voters who have 30+ years of education.

30+ years of education? How many grades did they repeat? I have a master's and even I only spent 18 years in school: k-12, four years of college, one year master's.

They are called doctors.

Really? 13 years for k-12, 8 years of college and med school. You said 30+. You know docs that did nine years worth of residencies and fellowship? Even with nine years, that only gets you to 30. You said 30+. Sounds a bit like Paul Ryan's marathon story.

OK, 30 years. Clearly shows they are "dumb".

And for every one of these "educated" undecideds, there are 20 that can speak with authority on Kim Kardashian's sex life, but could not tell you which political party supports abortion rights. Stop painting this mythical picture of undecided voters who weigh their decision very carefully. Most of them are total
morons, basically the same type of people that end up serving on juries.

I actually think you're going a little too far. This is nonsense. Of course all some undecided voters don't care but they're the type who have a 50/50 (if that) chance of showing up and voting. The vast majority of independents I've met (as well as myself formerly included) educated or not weigh the views and choices in front of them carefully. In a sense I believe certain independents are more informed than large groups of members of either party. I'm quite offended you'd post such a rude statement Tongue
