It’s worth watching the recent PBS Frontline documentary on Biden to get a good perspective on his life, his severe childhood stutter, and personal tragedies (losing his first wife and daughter in a car accident and later his beloved older son to cancer) to understand the type of person he his.
Also relevant to see how his lifelong ambition to become President was thwarted multiple times and how he made the political calculus to take a backseat at times to larger forces at play other times in his career.
I do think he’s been a good President but let’s be honest; he’s still a lifelong politician with almost 50 years in Washington. He’s one of the original good 'ole boy institutionalists and is to some degree responsible for why the Senate has become totally dysfunctional. Not to mention he is also partially responsible for that clown Thomas being on SCOTUS by botching the Anita Hill testimony.
