Many Democrats and liberals in media have been touting Joe Biden as a big player for 2020, but they have forgotten what an awful campaigner he is. They are about to be reminded, big time.
Biden gave a speech in Pennsylvania on Monday and flubbed his way through it, often mispronouncing words and stammering.

He opened: “I want to thank Rich Fritzgerald, the county executive for — the baladanny — the Alleghengy County executive for being here.”
“The country wasn’t built by Wall St. bankers, CEOs, and hudge — heh — and hedge fund managers,” Biden stammered during what was supposed to be a headline moment.
At various points he stumbled over words like “dignity,” “successful,” and “hospitals.” Occasionally words were entirely indecipherable.
“Union workers, the UAW took extredable — cuts in there pensions and their future and the less to get GM working,” Biden said.
Watch this video, it’s painful:
Laura Ingraham of FOX News had a few thoughts about the speech in general:
At his first rally, Joe Biden says "it's time to redefine what a successful economy looks like." How convenient now that the economy, by even the measures the Obama Administration used, is ON FIRE. #GoalPostsShifting #Uninspired

This @JoeBiden speech is…just…sad. "All of America has to be rebuilt." WHAT?!

Joe Biden says we need to bring back the "dignity of work." Is he actually arguing that after 8 yrs under Obama, and only two under Trump, suddenly "dignity of work" has been destroyed? Wages are going UP, Joe!

Oh my God, if this is really the best @JoeBiden can do, the Democrats are in trouble. It all seems tired and out of sync with the reality of this economy, esp wages & unemployment numbers. Dangling freebies to whoops and hollers. Hardly original.

Fire the speechwriter, @JoeBiden. And he's desperately trying to punch out lines loudly, which just ends up sounding strained.

Will anyone be surprised if Biden doesn’t even make it through the Democrat primary?
