And I think that was the position of someone like Biden, who would promote himself like Justin Trudeau does. A lot of these good-thinking liberals, they're the sort of people, in their mouths, butter wouldn't melt. They're such nice gentlemen, and nice has never seemed to me to be particularly virtuous.
