My sense is that he really blew it with his response to the Ukraine thing, in a way that showed him cautiously trying to avoid squandering a lead and avoid trouble rather than going for Trump's jugular when Trump gave him an opening (and an opening to stand out from the rest of the Dem field as the one that Trump was worried about).

John Judis saw it the same way:

Quote:
A younger, quicker Biden might have nailed down the nomination this last week in response to Donald Trump’s predictably irresponsible attacks on him. He would have been all over the talk shows and on the stump. Instead, he has remained closeted, perhaps out of fear that if he does subject himself to questions, he will be stumble. To be sure, Hunter Biden may have been up to no good, but Biden could have used the attacks against his son to highlight his having to surmount a succession of family tragedies. One could feel this week the nomination slipping away from Biden.
