Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden misspoke on Sunday and appeared to begin saying the name of former President George W. Bush rather than President Trump while emphasizing that the 2020 election is important "because who I'm running against."

"Not because I'm running, but because who I'm running against, this is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time," Biden said. "And the character of the country in my view is literally on the ballot. What kind of country we're gonna be? Four more years of George, ah, George... gonna find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected we're going to be in a different world."

The court-packing issue is a distraction from points Biden wants to drive home in the waning days of the campaign.

Yes, Biden’s deflection of questions on this issue protects him from the flak he would take from either embracing or repudiating a priority of progressive Democrats who are seething over the likelihood that the Republican-controlled Senate will confirm Trump’s nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, to the high court.

All of these things are true, and Biden’s response is still unsatisfactory. Last week he said: “They’ll know my opinion on court packing when the election’s over.” On Sunday, Biden deputy campaign manager  in a TV interview declined to be more definitive, saying, “I am not going to play Donald Trump’s game.”

All his opinions are missing in action. If Biden opens his mouth the Democratic party will implode.

Vice President Joe Biden said developments in Libya show the U.S. approach to dealing with Moammar Kadafi was the right one.

“Whether he’s alive or dead, he’s gone. The people of Libya have gotten rid of a dictator,” Biden said, seeming to want to avoid a definitive statement on Kadafi.  

“NATO got it right,” he said. “In this case, America spent $2 billion and didn’t lose a single life. This is more the prescription for how to deal with the world as we go forward than it has in the past.”

A parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee inquiry in the U.K. in 2016 concluded that a “limited intervention to protect civilians drifted into an opportunistic policy of regime change by military means,” resulting in, “political and economic collapse, inter-militia and inter-tribal warfare, humanitarian and migrant crises, widespread human rights violations, the spread of Gaddafi regime weapons across the region and the growth of Isil [Islamic State] in north Africa.”

A rebel leader estimated in August 2011 that 50,000 Libyans had been killed. And the death and misery continue.
