Biden says 30 seconds in a debate is not enough to set the record straight, and he’s using address to Rainbow / PUSH coalition to defend his credentials on civil rights
“The discussion in this race shouldn’t be about the past,” Biden says in Chicago, after touting the criminal justice record of the “Obama-Biden administration”
Biden is speaking with TelePrompTer, but often ad-libbing as well. Returning now to core argument of his campaign - a contrast with President Trump
The crowd has been largely receptive to Biden here, especially as he praised Obama in the former POTUS’ hometown. Voters who I spoke to before said the debate wasn’t a fatal strike against Biden
Biden using lines that sound like they were planned for the debate. Says he knows he’s criticized for wanting to work across the aisle but that he “won’t accept the status quo” of today’s broken politics

Biden, now in Londonderry: "We need to unify the nation. I find it fascinating that people say it can’t be done. If it can’t be done, we’re done."
Biden: "This vicious, ugly, mean political environment we live in is one that the Constitution is not designed to deal with."
Biden says the job of the president is to persuade. Even as he says he can work with Republicans, he notes he campaigned with 69 Dem candidates in 2018, many of whom helped beat Republicans to take back the House

.@JoeBiden at Atkinson, NH house party this morning jokes, "I don’t want to go back to anything old. Nothing."
Biden jokes about interaction with Trump supporter on 4th of July who called him "Sleepy Joe" at parade. "I said come run with me. Come run with me. Let’s see what you can do man." He didn't
Biden asked about differences with other candidates. As part of long answer he notes "There’s a lot of people doing opposition research and they seem really interested in my 40 year record. .. Sure I made mistakes. But the fact of the matter is you have to know context."

.@JoeBiden introduced at NH Young Dems BBQ by youngest state Rep in state.

Biden opens with his origin story: "I got engaged with a group of young Democrats to change the Democratic Party in Delaware from a southern Democratic Party to a mainstream Democratic Party"
An especially feisty Biden lays into @realdonaldtrump, mocking his botched history lesson on 4th of July and his self-description of “stable genius.” “As my brother would say, give me a break”
Biden: I know I get criticized for saying we need to bring people together. We’re criticizing Trump for good reason for abusing executive power. But how many candidates of the 400 that are running do you hear say they'll do something by executive order?

#ClimateAlarmists ignore the fact that all of their propaganda efforts to scare people into submitting to expensive CO2 reduction schemes are having less than no restraining effect on the one & a half degrees of #GlobalWarming over the last two centuries.

Nothing being done now is having any effect on reducing CO2. We could help Nature do it the old fashioned way by planting a trillion trees. But that takes time.
#ClimateAlarmists prefer preventing the poorest people from trying to stay alive during winter.

Scientists are proving that active geothermal sources around the globe are causing most of the glacier melting & ocean warming. And more of that heat should be harnessed to benefit humanity, as has been done throughout human history.

Oh, man, @kilmeade is *so* close to getting it.

I'll see if I can help him understand why "that narrative flipped" in the 1960s.
First of all, yes, the Democratic Party *was* the party of slavery and segregation for most of the 19th century and the early 20th century. And yes, the Republican Party in Lincoln's era was the party of civil rights!

Welcome to 10th grade American History! You seem new here.
Those clear lines set down at the start of this "narrative" quickly became blurred.

Here's the Cliff Notes version of the story, if you've somehow never read it:

"Biden takes flak on race and busing. But his views may still mirror America’s" by @isaacstanbecker. This is a good piece that quotes historian Brett Gadsden, whose book "Between North and South" is the best place to start to understand Biden and "busing" washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06…
To understand the #DemDebate2 exchange between #KamalaHarris & Joe #Biden, you have to understand that "busing" has been used since the 50s as a code word to oppose school integration. I cover this history in "Why Busing Failed" & the book's website whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…
White parents in the North organized after Brown v Board to maintain segregated schools, using euphemisms like "busing" & "neighborhood schools" to maintain segregated schools without explicitly saying they didn't like black or Latinx students #DemDebate2 whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…

As always this will be Analysis and Commentary coming from myself...
The Candidates for tonight: @JoeBiden, @PeteButtigieg, @KamalaHarris, @Hickenlooper @BernieSanders @ericswalwell @MichaelBennet @SenGillibrand @AndrewYang @marwilliamson...
Same rules as last night I am not numbering these tweets that would be a bit too difficult. I will try to keep the ellipsis to a minimum as well.

OMG.
How is this not disqualifying on its face?
Eastland never called #Biden "boy" because he wasn't black. I guarantee you he called black men "boy" and worse.
Why are we on a nostalgia tour of the Jim Crow era with Biden?
This is as terrible as #Biden's stance on abortion, his assurances that Pence and Cheney are actually really nice guys and that #AnitaHill should just get over herself already.
My parents--Biden's generation-- were Civil Rights workers. Talmadge and Eastland who #Biden invoked with fondness tonight, were notorious. These were not names to drop with nostalgia. These men were purveyors of white supremacy. They were no different than Trump. Just smarter.

1) With the recent twist of events regarding the Jussie Smollet case, Chicago's corruption is front and center once again. Many are praising Rahm Emanuel after his great performance in acting as if he had no prior knowledge of the decision made in the Smollet case
2) Emanuel began his political career as the finance director for Illinois Public Action Council (IPAC) in the 1980s. He worked alongside now Congresswoman (1999) Jane Schakowsky, wife of IPAC's founder and Clinton Operative, Robert Creamer. 
motherjones.com/politics/1993/…
3) Creamer got his first starting bid in Community Organizing working with the Citizen Action Program (CAP) of Chicago, which was created by the Industrial Areas Foundation of Saul Alinsky.  The same organization that Obama worked for in the 1980s.
