    I think Joe Biden’s got a pretty easy hand in terms of what you try and do with a State of the Union, one is you portray your case and your agenda as reasonable and responsible.

The advantage Joe Biden has is the party opposing Joe Biden is in many respects, reckless, irresponsible and extreme.
