DNC 2020: Biden vows to end Trump's 'season of darkness' - BBC News

Newly minted Democratic White House nominee Joe Biden said US President Donald Trump has "cloaked America in darkness for much too long".

The former US vice-president said his rival has unleashed "too much anger, too much fear, too much division".

His impassioned speech was the capstone of a political career spanning nearly half a century.

Mr Biden, 77, heads into the general election campaign with a clear lead in opinion polls over Mr Trump, 74.

But with 75 days to go until the election the Republican president has plenty of time to narrow the gap.

Extorting money from from the over 75 crowd through the license fee is a pretty shoddy practice. Seniors eat cat food while BBC execs struggle over which fine wine to buy.

He complained about government but he has been in government for over 40 years

[Stacey......]

Sell your policies and Forget Trump this and that. People need change. Don't tell people to vote for you because you want to replace Trump, This is nonsense Reason.

The only way he could win is if they allow votes from illegal immigrants, prisoners and 16 year olds.

"I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun. The kids used to come up and reach in the pool & rub my leg down so it was straight & watch the hair come back up again. So I learned about roaches..." - Joe Biden
