Cheerful Charlie

Since Trump refused to do virtual debates, Biden did a solo Town Meeting on ABC with George Stephanopolus. Biden did well. Obviously not senile, sleepy or incapable. Biden was sharp, well spoken and quick on his feet. He did not sound like he was parroting memorized talking points. He most certainly did not come across as a boastful bragging, lout like Trump does.
Of interest. On the Supreme Court situation, Biden said he would rather let the current process go on, but hinted that if need be, packing to court is not off the table. And that further rules and laws are needed to end such dirty tricks. Though Biden has been against packing courts because once you start that game you never know where that is going to go, this is a situation that may need action. Biden was carefully vague but also unpredictable.
On legal actions that need follow up. While Biden states he is against holding grudges, as they simply undercut getting things done in his past experience, that does not mean everybody that has done actionable legal wrong doing is off the hook. Biden says he will appoint very highly experienced and talented experts in the DoJ to follow up on that. He Biden will not micro-manage that process though, he will not politicize the activities of the DoJ by doings so. he will let expert prosecutors do that job, if needed.
All in all, a good Town hall. A sizable portion of his questioners we Republicans, so it was not a bunch of soft ball questions by any means.
