I wish they would get rid of the teleprompters but that will never happen. I thought his speech was pretty good. It’s the type of thing that will irritate the far left though because he wants to work across the isle. But it’s what’s best for the country. But it is going to be a difficult trying to go the bipartisan route when the gop is loaded with Tea baggers trumpets and qmorons now. There is probably a few level headed ones left but idk.

Maybe the new astronaut senator will think of a way to breach the partisan divide.

This will go back to how the bar was lowered for Presidential speeches under Trump.  Biden's history of stuttering forced him to be very careful when he speaks and to prepare ahead of time for the speech...something Trump never, ever did.  Unlike Obama I doubt Biden will write most of his own speeches (or edit when someone else writes them) either.

But he speech was devoid of bragging and filled with "us" and "unity".  It was refreshing.  

Harris gave the more Obama-like speech.  The uplifting, we did it, we will continue to do it type speech.  It was good also.

I truly believe Biden can unite the left and right in DC more than Harris would be able to.  congress is still an "old boy" network and the leaders will respect Biden more than a Harris because of his experience and, unfortunately, him being a man.

Another thought is that one thing that really worked in Biden's favor was that Trump and his ilk couldn't get any "scandals" on Biden.  They tried...but nothing would stick and there just wasn't any thing to them.

With Harris, as we've already seen, they will disparage her for four years for "sleeping her way to the top".  Just has they accused the FLOTUS of marrying for money and power and, wait...sorry.  I got confused for a second.    But they will.  It will never be about her accomplishments just her one relationship after four years of "we need to forgive Trump for all his sins".
