I thought Biden's speech was extraordinary, not just for him--his stutter can be a problem when he is talking extemporaneously because of techniques people with stutters use to work around words that are problematic--but for anyone. I applaud his speechwriters, who really got the tone right. And he delivered it beautifully. It had all the things missing from a Trump experience: heart, warmth, passion, compassion, empathy. We know that Biden has an ego--you can't be a politician without a healthy dose of self-love. But he knows how to bend his ego to humanitarian ends and he has learned over his long career in politics that it really isn't about him. It's about all of us.
Oh, wow. What a BRILLIANT point. Poison is so traditionally female! I had never thought of this in reference to the present. And yes, they did a nice job with managing to inform of his stutter, and yet letting him hit it out of the park.
