   Can you imagine Trump having the capacity to show this kind of empathy ?   
   No one could - not even among his supporters.

   The match-up: Biden compassion vs Trump charisma

   With less than two weeks to go, America has two very different pictures of   
   what makes a president. Last night this contrast could not have been clearer   
   and this is how:   
      
   An old video of a Joe Biden hug went viral   
      
   This two-year-old video uploaded by a film-maker who makes clear that he is   
   doing this to campaign for Joe Biden got millions of views.   
      
       I'm one of those who frets that the election will be much closer than the   
   polls indicate. That in a world where non-voters are never targeted by Dems,   
   huge turnout could contain multitudes. So I'm dropping some old footage of Joe   
   Biden here:

   It shows Joe Biden hugging the son of a victim of the 2018 mass shooting at a   
   high school in Parkland, Florida. Many shared how the unscripted empathy of   
   the moment moved them to tears.   
      
   When Democratic vice-presidential pick Kamala Harris was asked how Mr Biden   
   would deal with any personal attacks in the upcoming presidential debate she   
   said: "One of the things I love about Joe Biden... he doesn't take on or talk   
   about other people's    
   kids."   
      
   Some commentators have looked into empathy as a winning formula and Democrats   
   will value it in a week where Mr Biden's presence has been virtual.
