    You need to think inside the box.
    The defense department, has several appointed positions in it. Why is that so hard to understand ?
    ha ha
    You don’t believe your own ears. Amazing.

    That is demonstrably false. Nobody thought Trump would win. To have the entire MSM media against you and still win the presidency demonstrates an intellect with a positively uncanny political awareness. There are few (possibly no) politicians more intelligent than Trump in understanding their core voter base and knowing what to do to get their vote.

    A con man understands the people that he influences, and he is a master at it. Trump is not an intelligent person and that should be obvious.

    Should be enlighting to dems who don't realize how out of touch old Joe is with reality. He's for Medicare for all (socialized healthcare). That means cancer research will all but stop if that ever happens. Big Pharma funds research not the federal government. Moonshot (not funded since FY 2016) was nothing but low priority pork spending.

    You assume that has anything to do with intelligence, and there is no evidence of that. He rattles off stupid things all of the time, and sometimes the popularity of his stupidity has lead to his success, not intelligence.

    Why does Joe Biden have to be President to cure Cancer? Is this a threat? Like, I got the cure, but won't share it if you don't elect me? What sort of animal would do something like that?

    Did Biden make the statement that he has to be president to cure cancer? Like, he don't got the cure but will use the power of his office to influence those to find a cure, not that he will be successful. The sort of animal who lost his son to cancer might attempt it.

    As I mentioned, if he was really concerned about cancer research funding he should have become a lobbiest. All money for research comes from big pharma.

    Come on. He only declared that IF he became president he would find a cure for cancer.

    Influence yes, usually, but congress approves spending and allocates funding. Even with a Democrat Senate (very doubtful) pet projects don't always get funded.

    To be fair, it is necessary to become President in order to realistically have a chance of doing something. However, curing cancer is certainly not one of them!

    The challenge is to solve the cancer of a malignant Federal Government and a 22 Trillion debt.

    Yes, he said if elected he will cure cancer.

    Obviously, he is looking to the low informed dnc base that doesn’t understand that’s possible.

    Cancer isn’t one thing. There are 100s of types and guess what? We have literally been working on procedures for decades. This is biden playing to the emotional low informed voter

    You are correct. Do the well educated and informed in the Trump base know differently, like yourself?

    I would expect nothing else from the well educated, informed Trump supporter. Biden isn't playing. His son died from the disease and Biden is serious about his effort. Take it for what it is and don't read into it and let your imagination roll.
