I'm surprised that Biden was unable to say: "At the time, I saw busing as a flawed answer to the real problem of ed segregation, it was deepening racial divides, and we should find alternatives, like magnet schools or residential desegregation." That is how many liberals saw it.

His key deal sucked too as
@mattyglesias pointed out today. -
this is the far stronger and in critical ways accurate critique. eastland and talmadge are marginal to his career. the argument that he simply misreads the moment and made deals that were never good deals is the much bigger problem.

Biden believes it has the side effect of baiting people into attacking him, and that he’ll end up benefiting from that. Hasn’t worked out so well in the field, so far…

A LOT of people want that, and a LOT of them live in swing states. Many of his supporters in polls think he can win the Rust Belt. Biden may not win Williamsburg/Asheville/San Francisco by as many votes as his opponents would, but that doesn't really matter...

I think he failed as a bridge between Obama/McConnell. I really want someone 2 ask him what advice he gave Obama about relentless GOP obstruction? Coz it never seemed to work to Obama/Dem's benefit.
