      Not taking sides, but be honest, I’m pretty sure that was Biden.

        Dianne Feinstein is the more egregious example.

        What happens is is that these congressman build a circle of aids who handle all the real work while they campaign. Those aids develop working relationships with other aids. The more senior, the more influence they have. It quickly gets to the point when the politician themselves are just a figurehead and the aids don’t want to start over with a new one, so they just wheel their host around.

        Trump is well into the category where he’s just being lead around by his handlers.

          I don’t think he’s there yet, he still seems to know what’s going on around him, and where he is at.
