It is not a second question. It is the same question you tried to dodge.

I'll take a look and make a judgment to see who is right.
Edit - I answered Adam_Poe's supposed second question. I actually don't know what his questions are because nothing seems clearly outlined to me in this convo.
Biden regrets saying black voters considering Trump 'ain't black'
While an incredibly stupid thing to say in the first place, was smart of him to take it back instead of doubling down.

I read another opinion news article on this that described this as Biden putting his foot in his mouth again because of something else he said along with this apology. If I can remember, I'll look it up.
I could not find the original opinion article on his apology I referenced but I did find this from black conservative speaker and writer about the fail apology:
Yes, Biden issued an apology, not for being a bigot, or offensive, rude or arrogant, but he only said, “I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy. I shouldn’t have been so cavalier.” A lackluster response to match his lackluster record of fighting for the black community.
Biden is not sorry about his comments which is why you don't see an actual apology. He meant his original words. He really does take the black vote for granted and he wasn't joking. Black people are mindless voters to him and the Dems and he's going through the motions to ensure black-flight from the Democratic party doesn't continue. And he's failing.
The worst thing Biden could have done is apologized for his statement: foot in mouth. Why? He should have spun the narrative that black people have no trouble seeing through Trump's problems. The "ain't black" comment should have been rationalized that non-black voters are being persuaded by Trump's toxic rhetoric.
By issuing a shitty apology, he signals both is disingenuousness as well as his weakness. An apology is not always a good thing.

Nah. Some people are not going to care that he said it and some people won't accept any apology no matter how sincere. In the end, it was smart to apologize.
About how many votes did he lose and about how many did he get back for making the gaffe and then apologizing for it later that day (I think)?
If he lost almost none and gained almost none, it's not a smart move except to pander to talking heads.

I'd say what he lost was minimal and what he gained was minimal, idiotic comments like this don't really matter anymore. But it's still smart to admit error. Pre 2017, sure, this would have been much larger.
hmm
However, if I actually liked Biden, this would make me nervous when he sat across from Trump (virtually or physically) in a debate.

Likely nothing at this point. He had his chance starting in Jan of 2017 to convert me and he failed.imo, His angle will be "look how awful the other side is!", instead of selling his positives.
He’s good at throwing bombs. The media can’t stand getting pummeled back so now he’s the boogie man.
The economy is recovery quickly and if it keeps going this way he will win.

Nah. He's a corrupt clown and a shitshow.
We'll see how well it recoups and how fast. But yeah, the economy is always a huge factor in the incumbent winning or losing.
