Joe needs to point out over and over that there is a difference between strong and mean.

Trump tries to paint him as a weak, indecisive person. Joe should communicate to the American people that in his eyes, being kind, generous, respectful, honest are the true meaning of strong. Not bullying, lying, degrading to those that disagree with you. That is the sign of a weak man.

I don't think it's enough for him to just show it. I think he has to point it out over and over.

and strut around. It's all defensive reactions to try to hide their weak inner self. Trump, is an excellent example of a weak little man trying to fill big shoes!

That’s the word for trump. To much a coward to serve in vietnam. Too much a coward to stand up to racists. Too much a coward to stand up to dictators.

How many press conferences has he run out if when asked a tough question?

The only thing more cowardly than trump is the test of the craven republican party.

just as looking at an issue from all sides, is also weak. They like strong and wrong better than nuanced and correct. Its hard to think in more than bumper sticker ideas.
