1988 Road to the White House with Sen. Biden

but what law school did you attend and where did you place in that class and the other question is could you quickly I think I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do I suspect I went to law school on a full academic scholarship the only one in my in my class that have a full academic scholarship the first year in law school I decided didn't want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds of my class and then decided I wanted to stay went back to law school and in fact ended up in the top half of my class I won the international Moot Court Competition I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school 165 credits only 123 credits and I'd be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours if you'd like Frank why don't you want and I think just in my own I'm not questioning your IQ at all I'm just saying with the people that we have elected office in recent years I think that we have to question your credentials very solid well I think it right right yeah but you know what I find kind of interesting it seems to me if you can speak you're a liability in the Democratic Party anymore seems to me you've all become heartless technocrats it seems to me that you forget that what happens is we've never as a party we have never as a party move this nation by 14-point position papers and 9-point programs it seems to me that when we got involved in the civil rights movement Frank nobody asked Martin Luther King what his legislative agenda was he marched to change attitudes when the women's movement started it did not move with a constitutional amendment they marked to change attitudes and this party better understand full well that it's about time we change our attitude and we begin to change the attitudes of Americans about what their responsibilities are to the poor about what the responsibilities are to other people and about what our responsibility in the world is and that requires changing attitudes but Frank I promise you you'll see my 15 point plans and 19 point position papers and you'll be able to make a judgement when Gary Hart and I stand there who knows more about foreign policy Gary or me and when you see that Dick Gephardt and I stand there you'll be to make a judgment Dick Gephardt or I know more about economic policy but ultimately Frank this country needs a leader and leader changed attitudes about people and it's the ironic twist that in the wake of Ronald Reagan that the only one thing he knew how to do was the one thing that is now being the currency of which is in fact being devalued so much but it

Back in the day when yelling words that didn't mean anything F O R C E F U L L Y meant you were qualified to run for office. If bullshittery like this still worked I'd have been fuckin mayor or grand resplendent or whatever politicians are called when they get elected to a job with no responsibilities and a pension. Now you have to be on twitter and toss a Bayer execs salad for enough change to throw up a rally with cameras, and god forbid if you get caught on video mimicking fuck motions towards the bathroom attendent when he bends over to pick up the tip you tossed for him on the ground...

Trump is going to have so much fun mocking this dullard's intelligence and academic pedigree.

Wow the rhetoric is the same as today, just more verbose and self righteous.

No I dont have a healthcare policy. Let me ask you something. Did martin luther king jr. have a healthcare policy? Did the Suffragettes have a healthcare policy? No sir they did not and let me tell you something they changed attitudes goddamnit. And when I'm president thats what I intend to do: change attitudes, and not have a healthcare policy.
