For Joe Biden "think about it" is the new "literally"
A young woman asks Biden "How do you explain the performance in Iowa and why should the voters believe that you can win a national election?"

Biden's response: "You ever been to a caucus?"

Woman says yes.

Biden: "No you haven’t. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier."
Biden goes on to say, "You gotta be honest. I’m gonna be honest with you. It was a little bit confusing in Iowa. But let’s assume it was all exactly right." He talks about how Iowa doesn't predict who wins states like PA, Michigan, etc.
"You have to take the first four as one," Biden says of IA/NH/NV/SC. "Not a single person has won without overwhelming support from the black community, overwhelming, overwhelming. Ok? … Right now I am far and ahead in the African-American community … it remains to be seen."
This is in Hampton Beach NH, in a hotel ballroom. First of two events today for Biden.
Biden questions Bernie's authenticity, talking about cost of Medicare for all and who will pay for it. "Now he’s saying, who knows? We’re all going to find out ... The one thing the public is looking for more than anything else is authenticity. Just tell me the truth."
Biden on Medicare for all: "It’s going to take at least four years to pass it. Inshallah. You’re not going to pass it"
Bidens event ended around 1:15. He took photos & spoke with virtually everyone who waited: a solid 45 min, as I’m told is customary. He bent down and kissed the hand of this woman, Shelley Bell, 63, who suffers from Seckel Syndrome. They stuck their tongues out at each other.
Biden today connected his work on the Violence Against Women Act to the term "rule of thumb" and went off on a digression about common law in the 1300's. The SC primary on Feb. 29 is a long, long way off news.yahoo.com/biden-stumbles…
