Leading to the conclusion that he admitted he was wrong as a moral principle? Mitch McConnell?
I don't really know either, but I suspect that McConnell, who is smart at politics, may have decided that attacking Obama is not a good electoral strategy, that they're better off attacking Biden directly rather than trying to damage him by association with Obama. Because Obama has high approvals now, and ex-presidents tend to enjoy a certain reverence, more so than they ever got while in office.
On moral principle, hehe. Maybe. He was wrong and he may not have realized he was when he spoke. Since I can see little negative consequence for admitting he was wrong and can see brownie points for correcting a mistake, he may have gone moral for the points. That’s why I would. What I don’t know is if like for me, the only points that matter to him are the ones he gives to himself.
People can be truthful for different reasons. Also, it is against my moral principles accusing people of acting on evil motivations that aren’t obvious and require a lot of speculation. I prefer to stick with not knowing.
Down that road I would say his biggest fear is being seen by the world as I too tight with the President, and so he likes to demonstrate from time to time, and where the price isn’t high, some signs of independence. It might not be really healthy for voters to say to themselves that every Republican IS A DONALD TRUMP, and I am voting accordingly.
Moral actions by swine create plausible denial. Every cunning asshole will want to cultivate that. It does not make me happy I can think this way and I would feel really badly if I thought this of somebody and it were not true.
To be a really good lawyer, however, I’d say it would have to be a part of one’s skill set.
