I really, really wish he were about 10 years younger.

I have grave concerns about his ability to speak clearly, and how it will hold up over the course of a campaign, and the next four years.
Understandable concern, but how is that really relevant to this ad? He sounded pretty good to me.

I thought he sounded a little mushy. And this is him at his very best, probably doing multiple takes for the microphone.
This is taken directly from his speech he gave yesterday. Not pre-prepared.

Exactly.
What is Beef talking about? "Multiple takes"?
Regardless, he sounded just fine. What is it that people don't understand that Biden has a life-long stuttering problem and he has done a pretty-good job managing it.

To put this into perspective (re Biden), please read this found on The Stuttering Foundation website ...

During a CNN town hall, former Vice President Joe Biden discussed stuttering. Here are some of his remarks from the event:

"It has nothing to do with your intelligence quotient. It has nothing to do with your intellectual makeup," Biden said. "You know, stuttering, when you think about it, is the only handicap that people still laugh about. That still humiliate people about. And they don't even mean to."
 
The former vice president credited his mother when it came to not letting his stutter define him. He said his mother would tell him, "Joey, don't let this define you. Joey, remember who you are. Joey, you can do it. So every time I would walk out, she would reinforce me. I know that sounds silly, but it really matters."

Biden has had a few excellent ads...but where are they running?

It was noted in a past similar thread re Biden ads, that the funds to run these ads are really only being spent to play (on everyday TV/Cable channels) in the battleground states.
Sometimes you see an ad here or there outside, but the repetitiveness is only in the key states.
(PS: I rarely see a Biden ad here in California. The other day, I saw one for trump and I laughed my a$$-off. Why the hell his campaign or those helping him, would play anything here, is beyond me.)

I didn't know that this was taken from a live speech, and wasn't recorded in several passes and/or cleaned up in the edit. Because that's what I would do if I were making an campaign ad.

The fact that this was live, public speech is reassuring to me. He sounds pretty good.

Edit: And I didn't know he had stuttering issues. I'm glad he was able to overcome that.

No problem Beet.
Thank you for clarifying your position.

Dude.
I can get snarky and irreverent, but please don't conflate me with the King of All Concern Trolls.
I have never in my life concern trolled.

Pretty sure that was an honest mistake on PM2's part. T and F are very close to each other on the keyboard Tongue.

It probably was a mistake. But I just want it known that when I express an actual opinion about something, I'm being straight with you. I got called a concern troll in 2016 for expressing my fear that Trump would win, and my misgivings about Hillary's email problem. I said this as someone who supported Hillary and gave a ton of my hard-earned money to her campaign. My fear was genuine, and I can support a candidate while also having fears about his or her electability.

I was in the wrong here. I admit that.

LOL.
Sorry. Yes it was an error.
My eyes are not like they used to be (at my age, I'm still getting away with no glasses, but I know I will need them soon).
I was mistaken between the "f" and "t."
