    Does it? He’s a politician. Everything is about image. I doubt he’s giving his honest opinion instead he’s just projecting a positive image. Not saying anything is wrong with this but you can’t assume he’s being truthful.

      That was the point the poster was making- that by not taking umbrage with Trump on the ballot, it give the appearance of confidence in him defeating Trump (whether or not he personally feels he can.)

        No. You’re making the point that I just made.

        If Biden isn’t worried, that is an internal thought not external. This doesn’t indicate how he feels. What he expresses in public is different than his internal thoughts and feelings. It’s what politicians do.
