Those clips are so moving. A few screenshots of what stood out.

He is empathetic because he knows.
And this,
Well-stated our Canadian friend. Yes, "it" needs to shut up (but see above) and yes, "it" needs to go away (but see below).
I was thinking as I was watching those clips. I read yesterday or so a political adage attributed both to James Farley and to Lee Atwater: "people vote their fears, not their hopes." I was startled to read that. I had never heard that before and didn’t think it was right at all. "Real power is fear," Trump told Bob Woodward. Hate beats empathy, I thought. Hate is fear-based; empathy is love-based. Powerlessness, impotence is a synonym, produces raging anger, just hate. Trump fears anything he perceives as a threat to his masculinity. Being outed as bisexual--that is cuckolding someone to the nth degree--having it be known that he committed "homosexual acts," is Trump's consuming fear. That fear produced in Trump hate. Trump will attack anybody with anything to stave off that fear. So, Joe Biden "hates God". Lol. Trump has gone after Joe's son Hunter. Fear of Trump's fear, hatred of his hate is now what is destroying Trump. Ironic? Or predictabe? The root of Lee Atwater's hate was watching, powerless, as his brother burned to death in boiling grease. Atwater said every moment of his life he heard his brother's screams. Another GOP consultant, Ed Rollins, characterized Atwater exactly as Trump has been: extremely "insecure" yet having "eyes of a killer." Now, how does either of those base fears produce other-directed hate and a lack of empathy? I think at a distance it's easier to understand Trump's case, it's self-hatred, but the honest answer is I don't know, but it did and it does.
So as I was watching I then thought, "lying beats truth." Again that is not what we have believed all of our lives. We're told, “The truth is easy, lying is hard.” But when you are a pathological liar it must be as easy to lie as to tell the truth.
He is humble. That’s a Pennsylvania face right there.
And this,
Imagine the Horned One apologizing for talking too much! It is unimaginable because Trump's mouth is always open, it's either got a dick going in it or shit coming out of it.
This was too moving for me. My son is this to me.

Joe: good, empathetic, truth-telling, rosary-wearing Joe. Joe cannot debate that pathologically lying "thing." Thomas L. Friedman was right about that.
