Biden is to 2020 as Trump was to 2016
Politico ^ | April 23, 2020 | Rahn Emanuel

Posted on 04/24/2020 7:06:31 AM PDT by PBRCat

In 2016, frustration with the nation’s elite fueled a middle-class revolt. Many voters seethed at the way the Washington establishment had bailed out bankers while leaving homeowners underwater.

I realize that may sound strange coming from someone with my public profile. I’m rarely described as a fount of compassion—at home or in public. But there’s just no denying that people want the next president to help carry the nation’s pain. This will be a big boost for Joe Biden in November. As a working-class patriot who made good despite enduring a litany of personal tragedies, he has proved himself uniquely capable of connecting to voters where and how they live their lives. The story of his life—the grit and perseverance he displayed taking the train home from D.C. after the last Senate vote each night to care for his two young sons, bereft of their mother—is a testament to the very type of leadership no narcissist could ever provide.

Hey Commie Rahmy maybe your not up with current events. Trump never held political office before his election. Biden and his family have been on the public dole for 40 plus years.

I, for one, am tired of China bailing out the Bidens.

The only reason Biden is the DNC nominee is legal cover for his corruption and COLLUSION with Ukrain and China.

i.e. How can Trump get away with indicting him while he’s a candidate?

The lead in casually suggests that the 2016 election was a reaction to the events of 2008.

Biden is to 2020 as McCain was to 2008. It is his turn, even though nobody actually likes him.

“But there’s just no denying that people want the next president to help carry the nation’s pain.”

Well, he’s right on that.
Who better than Joe Biden to inflict pain on the nation?

So if the masochist democrats want pain, Joe is their man.

If he tells a lie often enough, Rahm is hoping people will believe it. Sadly, many will. They go by various names - Progressives, Democrats, Liberals - take your pick.

How many lies can you spot in this article? “Joe Biden’s a working class patriot” - that’s one right there.

As a working-class patriot

He's been a lawyer and then a politician his entire working life. How is that "working class"? Yeah, his family was poor for a period of time when he was a child. So what?

There’s a big difference between Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020. Trump wasn’t senile.

It’s amazing how these people will tell themselves any lie whatsoever that suits them, then they believe their own lie that they told themselves, and they expect everyone else to believe it and service it.

Politico, if you want to elect a senile criminal to be president, then you go ahead and do that, but don’t expect me to.
