    I am disturbed that as O'Toole enumerates the tragedies in Joseph Biden's life, he never mentions the loss of Biden's young daughter who also died in the car accident.

    As an Irish-American woman, I absolutely feel this about Biden. I wasn’t choosing him immediately in 2020 as my favorite candidate, but honestly, he showed up, showed his Irish fortitude… and I loved that.

    Believe me, i am not this closed minded. But i find it humors that a guy from across the pond , telling us about American politics.
    This is not being done in a pierce morgan offencive way. He is given his opinion of a historian that has done research. He is being informative not trying to be perswasive. It is very welcome and appreciated. Peirce morgan is an ass and not appreciated. Like Rupert Murdock

      as an historical reference, read "The American DIlemma" by the Swedish Professor of Economics, Gunnar Myrdal, and the author of the study that the Carnegie Foundation commissioned in 1948 to study the issue of race in the U.S. that influenced the SCOTUS decision on Brown vs The Board of Education in 1954. Tocqueville's book on the U.S. is another interesting study of the U.S.

    The biggest gap that I see in this interview is a discussion of Biden's having to face his own mortality when he had an aneurysm that required emergency brain surgery. Along with his recovery & lingering physical impacts.

    It is incredible that Fintan O'Toole seems to NOT realize that the 1972 auto accident took the lives of both his wife Neilia AND his year old daughter Naomi.... even more incredible that PBS factchecking did not stop the interview and set O"Toole back on path

      it was. every decision we make comes from outside happenings that lead us to two or more roads but in the end the one we choose is down to us. this is especially the case because biden also made sure that he'd be the one to choose his vp to be his successor by endorsing her and getting others to do the same. he'll also be campaigning for her.

      Just for clarity, Trump is a rapist and convinced tax fraud that shakes down his imbicil followers with a scripted TV show persona of success. His daddy gave him a successful business and a huge sum of money. He also failed to pass any meaningful legislation except for tax cuts for himself
