FOCUS: Charles Pierce | It Is Possible That Joe Biden Got Trapped in His Own Incoherence

EXCERPT:
It is possible—maybe even likely—that Biden got trapped here in his own incoherence, about which more anon. But the fact is that Castro was right and Biden was wrong about Biden's own healthcare policy. That he may also have tossed an elbow in Biden's direction is interesting, but it's less important. In addition, later in the debate, Castro again called out Biden for using his vice presidency as a convenient invisibility cloak whenever the debate turns against him.
And, look, I agree that Barack Obama was very different from Donald Trump. Donald Trump has a dark heart when it comes to immigrants. He built his whole political career so far on scapegoating and fearmongering and otherizing migrants, and that's very different from Barack Obama. But my problem with Vice President Biden — and Cory pointed this out last time — is every time something good about Barack Obama comes up, he says, oh, I was there, I was there, I was there, that's me, too, and then every time somebody questions part of the administration that we were both part of, he says, well, that was the president. I mean, he wants to take credit for Obama's work, but not have to answer to any questions.
