      Back on trail w this Biden event in Derry, NH. Opens by talking about losing Beau, finishes by saying "if anyone" should be angry at Republicans, it should be him, but it's a POTUS's job to heal. "I refuse to accept the notion that we'll be in perpetual war with Republicans."

      First Q is about drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants. Biden pivots to talk about his first year priorities: Pass immigration bill that gives every undocumented immigrant a path to citizenship, "surge" of immigration judges to clear asylum claims.

      Second Q was about gun control, which gave Biden a cue to talk about everything from background checks to passing the Brady bill to biometric locks.

      Biden has repeatedly rejected the premise, though, of how he'd "destroy" the NRA. "I don't want to get rid of the NRA. By the way, 56 percent of NRA members agree with me. It's the gun manufacturers, folks, the only corporate enterprise not able to be sued."

      A classic NH question just now, in which a voter gave Biden advice to do something he's been doing for months. "I think a winning strategy for you is to ask your opponent when he's going to release his tax returns."

      This is not going to be one of those crowds of angry Rs, even though we're in a more GOP part of NH. Final Q (unless Biden takes more) was simply for him to talk about his advocacy for women.

      Seriously, this is the friendliest crowd I've seen in ages - a woman just interrupted Biden to thank him for being a good role model.

      Biden (jokingly?) claims that Obama never told him ahead of time before the State of the Unions where he would announce what he was putting Biden in charge of.

      Biden riffing on how Obama put him in charge of judging the "jobs of the future" suggests re-training miners as coders. "Anybody who can go down 3000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well." This sort of "just transition" stuff was murder on Clinton in 2016...

          But Biden returns to the same point: "Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God's sake!"

          Doesn't it make more sense to teach them how to do something like install solar panels instead of programming anyway?

          This goes against #YangGang whole premise of the automation wave. Biden needs to read Andrew’s book.

          Why don't they talk about training miners to work building roads and fixing bridges and other related jobs where mining skills easily translate?

          Tie this type of retraining to an infrastructure bill. Many top programmers that I know, some of the very best, are terrible at using tools other than maybe a screwdriver or hex wrench for opening a server and changing memory. We don't want them operating heavy machinery!
