Professor Grant Reeher says that while Trump had said much worse than Biden in terms of "levels of offensiveness or levels of insensitivity or thoughtlessness," the peril for the Democrat lay in a somewhat different area. "It is less clear that Biden is saying those things on purpose. In other words, there is this sense that he is not fully in command of what he is intending to say. ... That’s where the potential problem begins to open up for him." Reeher was interviewed for The Hill article "The Memo: Trump team pounces on Biden gaffes." 08/18/20
