Election 2020: Biden’s Bid Is Doomed
“Joe Biden has led Democratic polls since day one,” Dan McCarthy observes in Spectator USA. But there are plenty of reasons why “you should still bet against” the former vice president “getting the nomination or getting into the White House.” The biggest problem? His age and its effects on his mental acuity. At 76, he is showing signs of senescence “more than Bernie Sanders (77) or Donald Trump (73)” are. And those infamous gaffes of his “are increasingly worrying,” because they just “keep coming.” The question is: “How many will it take before voters seriously question his competence?” True, Biden’s name recognition is tremendous, but voters are “surely remembering the Biden of the Obama years,” not today’s iteration. Bottom line: “Should he make it past the primaries, he won’t seem like a pair of safe hands with which to restore America to ‘normal.’ ”
Media watch: Bob Novak’s Journalism Lessons
Columnist Bob Novak, who died 10 years ago this month, got a lot of bad press during the George W. Bush presidency, recalls Timothy Carney in The Washington Examiner. It was the result of a “you’re either with us or against us” culture that Novak flouted by taking lines that “irked” the powers that be. With his opposition to the Iraq War, for example, Novak raised the constant ire of the Republican National Committee. Yet Novak’s spirit of skepticism is what’s needed now more than ever. He preached journalistic independence “not only of the GOP, but also of the conservative movement.” The columnist reported heavily and dug up “what some people wanted buried.” Now, 10 years since Novak’s death, Carney “misses him.” His loss is “not just to those of us who knew and loved him, but to all of journalism.”

Plus he knowingly allowed an innocent man, Scooter Libby, go to jail knowing that he was not his source at all for the Valerie Plame nonsense.
His campaign isn’t dead. He’s just pining for the fjords.
.
Valerie Plame was as fake as Michelle Obama!
She was no “agent.”
She “outed” herself.
Regardless of its authenticity or not is was Richard Armitage, not Scooter Libby, and what’s more Patrick Fitzgerald knew who it was all along.
Joe Biden is that kid doing a book report on a book he never read.
He literally knows nothing, and has been faking it his entire life.
They need to get rid of the old white guys so the energy starts to coalesce around Harris. Race and gender trump all else.

It's worth spending 3-1/2 minutes watching this, I assure you (it's painful). This man is NOT presidential material and has some serious mental problems.
We are dealing with a collective mind of anyone but Trump. Hell, they would run AOC if she was of age. They’ll take anyone who will give in to the puppet masters. It doesn’t matter who they run, its the people they put in that count. They need a corrupt puppet to score.
It’s going to be a zombie campaign. Biden will end the primaries in first place whether he wants to or not, because there’s nowhere else for a Democratic voter who is not yet the full 110% crazy to flee to.
Harris is like the Second Coming of Hillary, where things like media opinion vs. public opinion and performance on the campaign trail is concerned.
Same exact things are happening.
- a woman who reached a high position exclusively because of a man she attached herself to now being advanced as a serious candidate for President
- more she hits the campaign trail, more she is seen in public, the less support she gets
- the media loves her, can’t get enough of her, would appoint her the winner yesterday if they could, and they are completely impervious to understanding any of the reasons a normal person would be horrified by the empowerment of Harris or anyone like her
- and oh boy once again this icon of feminism is both ugly and nasty. Permanent resting bitch face that can’t be hidden with makeup or photoshop because it has been around so long that it IS her face now.
Solid case to be made that they are all OVER 110% crazy!!
ALL OF THEM!
...just sayin.
There are a whole lot out there that are only 90% crazy, as in they drank the TDS Kool-Aid... BUT. But they are still not crazy enough to believe that the whole Green New Deal + #MeToo inquisition + tanking the economy on purpose + slavery reparations + let’s make everything gay + etc. agenda is a good idea either.
Harris is almost guaranteed to get the veep slot, behind whichever white leftist gets the nomination. Token Spice.
won’t happen
it would be nearly as suicidal as naming Hillary your VP
these are people who get a good laugh out of recalling those fun times they enslaved and murdered innocent people
you do NOT want your life to be all that stands between that type and their ambition
My friend, Democratic’s (everyone of them) believe that murdering a child is NO BIG DEAL...and that men should be free to pervert nature and sleep with another man!!!
That is WAY BEYOND 110% insane!
WAY PAST IT.
‘’He literally knows nothing and has been faking it his entire life’’. Precisely. I’ve seen his type before over forty years ago in my old home town in Hudson County, NJ. A Democrat stronghold since the dawn of time. My late father was a two term Democrat town councilman. At election time I would help out at the local Democrat headquarters and I took notice of the guys who’d come around volunteering to do this and that, stuffing envelopes, running errands, working the phones and being ‘’gophers’’. I also saw how certain types would wheedle and attach themselves to the party leaders and the big shots, brown nosing and back stabbing their way, if the Democrats won(and for almost a hundred years in Hudson Country they always did) into jobs as ‘’Chairman of The Recreation Depart’’ or some low lever political pay back, patronage job from which they could take kick backs and steal. My father eventually got disgusted with it all and choose not to run for a third term.
This has been what Biden has done all his life and he got away with it. Now that he’s come out from the background and into the light of day people can now finally see what a blithering idiot he really is.
I am starting to think that Warren is the candidate here- unless the DNC rings in Michael Robinson. I have refrained to this point from speculation. I was hoping for Mary Williamson. She would make for a more entertaining contest, I think.
If Occasional Cortes were to jump into the race the Congress would probably pass a resolution declaring her Of Age. She would then produce a back-dated birth certificate and the NYT and WaPo would dare anyone to challenge it and scream RACIST! if anyone did. And the country would accept that. The Democrat cities would all then vote 120 to 300 percent of their populations and she would be the next President.
