14. Can you provide more context on Biden's comment?

Perhaps a link to the conversation.

Because I have doubts that his "I don't get Trump" comment has to do with Trump's "drive to put profits over people", etc. Everybody gets it, even Trump's supporters. This kind of selfish darwinian not giving a fuck about anyone but themselves is exactly what appeals to them. I doubt that repeating the obvious will do Biden any good.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
