Jim Nolan: A war of words ahead

Donald Trump makes off-the-wall statements, and the media and Republicans say it is refreshing. He insults women, and only the Democrats seem to mind. He acts like the Constitution is his to alter, and no one calls him on it.

Now that Vice President Joe Biden is contemplating running, I wonder how the press will respond. This is the Joe they found to be anything but politically correct, and he has not changed.

If anyone were to call Donald out and indeed Trump him, old Joe would certainly do so. A slug-fest of words would be refreshing.
