Guest Contribution by Gregg Updike Boy, does the MSM (D) and the DNC really have to tie themselves up in knots in their attempt to thread the political needle in this election cycle.
The Democratic leadership and the left are users, plain and simple. They use loyal donkeys to suit their purpose at the moment and dump them like yesterday’s trash when their ‘use by date’ expires. Here are some examples:
Al Franken was propped up and helped over the finish line in Minnesota by the DNC’s Voter Fraud Division in his defeat of Norm Coleman (R) to gain a blue senate seat. Then, to provide credibility and show they were all in on the #MeToo (bowel) movement, they dumped him as he became expendable for several reasons:
To give the appearance that Democrats care about women. The left had to sacrifice a politico along with Harvey Weinstein – another operative who was dumped after being milked for all he was worth. To clear the field for his co-senator – Amy Klobuchar – to run for president; remember he was being touted as a possible serious presidential contender at the time. To knock out a candidate who was an easy target so that lightweight Senator Kristin Gillibrand (D) NY, would have less competition in her bid. I single her out because she showed phony righteous indignation to Franken’s behavior, but not so much to Bill Clinton and his enabling wife and others, when it could have mattered. Gillibrand took an easy opportunity to end a competitor’s bid. The blue senate seat was safe since the Minnesota governor was a Democrat and appointed an even more radical senator. Would Franken have been cashiered so quickly if the Minnesota governor had been a Republican? I think not. Franken would have been defended to the hilt like all their other reprobates. Other examples:
The Democratic Party used the new, “bright, clean, and articulate” (quoting Joe Biden) Barack Hussein Obama to sandbag Hillary in 2008 – they got a bonus when the Republicans ran the pathetic “hero” John McCain and got their empty suit figurehead elected twice.
They used Bernie Sanders in 2016, originally to show that Bill’s Wife could win in a semi-competitive race. However, when it became way too competitive, Sanders had to be sandbagged AND bought off to protect Obama’s third term, and because it was “Her turn”.
As all of this year’s hopefuls flamed out, the Head Honchos of the DNC were forced to go with the ‘steady’ safe warhorse Joe after trying to gut his chances with some planted anti Biden stories early in his run last year. As every Democratic hopeful – except for Sanders – proved to be exceedingly bad and dropped out, Biden hung around and became the last viable choice to be used to take out the communist Sanders and to save the down ballot races. Pocahontas was also used to intercourse Sander’s strong bid by staying in the race just long enough to split his radical base for Gaffe O. Joe to ‘win’ big on Super Tuesday.
Gaffe O. Joe was used to successfully take out the sure loser in order to prevent a down ballot wipeout. Now, with the economic devastation wrought by the China virus, Trump is seen as possibly beatable. That being their current perception, the DNC and MSN (D) are now desperately searching for a viable replacement and not just a ballot filler like Mondale was in 1984, to run against Trump. Choosing some creditable, appealing, and capable vice president nominee to garner enough votes for a victory is just not going to cut it – no one votes for a Vice President (even Michelle Obama) on the come.
This means the propaganda wing of the MSNDNC has to strategically get in gear to force Gaffe O. Joe to leave on his own accord, and not anger the entire Democratic voting base. How best to do that?
They know they can’t use Hunter and the Ukraine and China connections because too many Deep Staters will also be taken down – Government Scandals can only be used against GOP Presidents. That amendment is in the DC DS private constitution. They have to find another angle to get Biden to leave. They have carried his gaffes and, to some degree, successfully hidden is intellectual deficiencies and mental decline for so long, it would be a hard sell to now use it against him.
However, they can carefully and gradually introduce a decades old sex scandal into the equation, but keep it on the down low, simmering, on a credible – to some, but relatively minor ‘news’ outlet – Politico. That way, if it is determined that Trump is invincible, we’ll go with plan “A” and let Biden be Mondale the second.
However, if Trump is perceived by DNC internal polling as beatable in the next several months, Plan “B” will be activated if the DNC think they have a viable (Mark Cuban? Andrew Cuomo? Gary Newsom?) replacement. Plan “B” will be launched with many “Breaking News” stories that will come from an exhaustive media ‘investigation’ of the “Politico” reports on then Senator Biden’s sexual misconduct, demotion and firing against and of Tara Reade back in 1993.
Gaffe O. Joe’s campaign will have been effectively scuttled. The Democratic Party will have ‘real’ evidence as to how much they care about women. They will then get to pick who they want to run against Trump, since there won’t any time to have a democratic type primary process. Just like in the good old days, the Head Honchos in smoke filled rooms will get to choose the candidate. This is all setting up well for plan “”B to be at least partially successful in that it could at least prevent a major fracturing of their base and gain a lot of points as a party who cares about the woman.
That is all.
The DNC won’t throw slow Joe under the bus until he picks a running mate.
Mobama? Hillary?
Whatever. He’ll pick one of them. Then he’s toast.
Unlike Franken, Biden is a really big name in the Democrat party. It’s hard to believe that they would plan to humiliate him like that. Heck, those guys are still covering for JFK and Bill Clinton.
They don’t need Tara Reade to remove Joe. A team of party elders could have pressured him on health reasons just as well.
I don’t dispute much of the analysis, but I do not think it will be as easy to jettison Joe as many think.
I don’t fear him as a candidate. To put it kindly, he appears to have lost a step. To put it harshly, I think he may have the onset of dementia given that he is often incoherent and prone to bizarre outbursts.
This sexual assault allegation will hurt him. The stench of corruption involving his son and family will hurt him. His record on China will hurt him.
I am still very surprised that the DNC selected Biden, but as the author says.... the field was simply that bad.
The DNC is a mess right now. Tossing the guy who won the established process will create a lot of problems and reveal that their “central committee” controls the party over the voters. I can understand their second thoughts and reservations, but removing him now creates as many problems as it may solve.
We all know if Biden were to become President he wont actually BE the President..Joe suffers from Dementia, he will be put in a room hooked up to a catheter and the real President, John Kerry, will be running the show
It hasn’t seemed to get much traction yet, but there’s a contingent on the left who want Slow Joe to pick Moochelle, Stacey Adams, or someone of that ilk to boost his bona fides and show party ‘unity’. They apparently think they can get some of their wandering slack-jaws back on the reservation if ol’ Plugs drags a black female up to the podium with him.
Yup
Sooner or later even the commies have to realize he is a colossal looser.
Biden “too white” for some Dems.

Why do you think Andrew Cuomo has had his ugly mug in front of cameras all during this lock down? He’s their dark horse.
1. Biden’s predatory problems were known long before now.
2. Why not dump him for health reasons? It would be much easier and even generate some sympathy from voters.
It seems to me that you are thinking that we are dealing with people who have a conscience to restrain some actions.
Do I need to say it? It’s purely tactics and results...nothing more
I do not think Abrams will be his pick. Remember how Biden was proud of Obama? “Clean bright articulate”?
Well the Tank woman is none of that. And even the average Democrat would be grossed out by her. Michelle is the obvious choice.
Romney
Sonny Cuomo ended his Presidential campaign with his outburst to get an essential job while people are collecting unemployment.
Fredo building a $multi-million house in the Hamptons during his quarantine doesn’t help.

Neither does forcing nursing homes to take in Wuhan virus victims.
There is one problem associated with this ploy, and although unpublished you better believe they’re thinking about it: to dump Joe for that reason means that they will ever after be tasked to hold Democrat candidates to the same standards to which they hold Republican candidates. Joe isn’t the only one by a long, long shot.

If this was the RNC’s killshot, it wouldn’t come out until October.
What if he says he will announce it at the convention?
