Too 'civil'? What if Joe Biden knows what he's doing?

It's months until they'll vote, but so far Virginia Democrats say they favor Joe Biden far and away above any of the almost two dozen hopefuls seeking the party's nomination for president in 2020, according to a new Hampton University Center for Public Policy poll.
However, this week, Whoopi Goldberg took Biden's side and defended him on The View by cautioning people to be careful when trying to characterize the former vice president as a racist, Yahoo reports. "You don't like some of the stuff he's done, say that, but you can't call the dude a racist". U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said he was "disappointed that he (Biden) hasn't issued an immediate apology for the pain his words are dredging up for many Americans".
Mr Biden said of the segregationists: "We, in point of fact, detested what they stood for when it comes to segregation and the overall relaxation".
"Vice president Biden shouldn't need this lesson", he added. His own aides have repeatedly cautioned in White House meetings against elevating Biden from the pack of almost two-dozen Democrats running.
It used to happen all the time in Washington, and it still does, occasionally.
And it's possible that Clinton's vulnerabilities were unique to her. "It's why he's got good, very strong support from the African-American community", continued Navarro.
Almost three years after the last campaign, Trump still fans the flames over Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state.
Now Trump and his allies have tried to gin up a similar scent of scandal around the former vice president, with the president's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and other advisers spreading largely unsubstantiated allegations of conflict of interest.
Before the call, Booker had taken issue, in part, with Biden telling donors at a fundraising event Tuesday in NY: "I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland".

The envoy made his remarks as day after an Iranian surface-to-air missile brought down an RQ-4A Global Hawk an unmanned aircraft. Lindsey Graham, had initially filed 22 resolutions of disapproval, one for each of the arms sales the White House approved.
This isn't the vital time Biden has scoffed in the face of criticism from the left this campaign - after a handful of females accused him of unsuitable (even supposing nonsexual) bodily contact, he made a comic memoir about it during a speech a firefighters' union. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says he would "absolutely" give taxpayer-funded health care benefits to illegal immigrants, if given the option.
Other prominent Democrats came to Biden's defense, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and high-ranking members of the Congressional Black Caucus. And that is what his Democratic opponents are really upset about.
A few hours later, the move also drew a reaction from Biden, who said he saw no need to apologize.
At issue is Biden's comments standing up for the racist senators by arguing that there was at least "civility" when working with them.
'The time for small ideas is over, ' she said in her remarks. "That's all he knows how to do, but the American people are onto his scam".
Biden is a creature of the old Senate, a clubby institution of backslapping, backroom deal-making where senators called each other "my friend" and for whom working across the aisle was a virtue, but often led to messy compromises. Should another candidate emerge as the nominee, Trump's team believes the "socialist" frame will stick.
"I do understand the effect of the word 'boy, '" Biden told MSNBC's Al Sharpton after speaking at the South Carolina Democratic Party's convention.
Democrats counter that Trump has his own vulnerabilities, including his recent assertion that he'd be open to accepting a foreign power's help in his 2020 campaign.
Harpootlian, who is white, noted the makeup of South Carolina's Democratic electorate fits Biden.
