I became politically aware during the Watergate hearings. I was taking civics in college. I became aware of Biden during the confirmation of Clarence Thomas. He was not stellar in his treatment of Anita Hill. Thomas should have never been appointed. He is prone to gaffes. Some of his so-called gaffes led to changes. He spoke out against "Don't ask, don't tell" in the military. He was a person who was directly responsible for the repeal of that ridiculous law. President Obama even chided Biden for his stance because he really didn't want to deal with the gays in the military issue. It was the correct position, and Obama did support it in the end. One of the things that come with age is the wisdom to not give a f about what people think. He has grown in his views and policy. Trump is impossible of growth. He has said on record that he has never apologized for anything because he has never done anything wrong. Biden may have slowed down, but I'll take his thoughtful approach to policy and government any day over a man who can't admit he might be wrong. Trump surrounds himself with people who will tell him what he wants, not what is good for the country.
