Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Another day, another half-filled high school gym. – When President Donald Trump (I never tire of typing those three glorious words) goes to a state, any state, to hold a rally, his advance people book the largest local enclosed arena, and he ends up speaking to a packed house of thousands with thousands more standing outside, watching on huge video screens.
When Joe Biden, the runaway leader in Democrat presidential nomination polls, goes to a state, any state, to hold a rally, his advance people ask the friendliest local high school principal to hold open his gymnasium for free, force as many of his kids as possible to be in attendance, and the candidate ends up speaking to a crowd of dozens. Don’t believe me? Here’s Creepy Uncle Joe coming into his South Carolina rally on Saturday:

Joe Biden ✔ @JoeBiden Thank you for the warm welcome, Columbia! It’s always great to be back in South Carolina.

Note to the intern who runs the Biden Twitter feed: You’d be a lot better off hiding embarrassing video clips like that one. But please, ignore that advice, because this is fun.
Lots of stuff going on with the Biden campaign, most of it highly predicable, given the age and nature and party of the candidate. The most predictable part is that he’s basing his campaign on the standard Democrat playbook, which is lying and scaring people: Scaring the old folks, scaring the young folks, scaring black folks, scaring the gay folks – scare as many people as you can, because that’s the only way you can convince anybody to vote for a Democrat.
Hell, Biden’s even resorting to scaring working folks, because pretty much everybody is working these days thanks to Trump’s economy. His appeal to working folks is to say, yeah, you’ve got a job, but how is your boss treating you? Like some Democrat president is going to come into office and police all the bosses to be nicer to their employees, or something. It would be hilarious if you didn’t know that, deep down in his heart, he’s actually being serious.
Down in South Carolina, he did what Democrats always do first in that state, which is scare the Black folks. That’s like on Page 3 of the Democrat primary playbook, right after scaring the farmers in Iowa and scaring the communists in New Hampshire.
On Saturday, Biden told that high school gymnasium half-filled with mostly black folks that “You’ve got Jim Crow sneaking back in,” referring to the era of “separate but equal laws that held sway in much of the South prior to the civil rights movement of the ’50s and ’60s. It’s a damnable lie, but hey, he is a Democrat. This is what Democrats do.
A few hours later, speaking to a sparsely-attended fundraising dinner, the 76 year-old Biden slurred his words and referred to the current Prime Minister of Great Britain as “Margaret Thatcher.” Lady Thatcher, of course, left that office in 1990 and passed away in 2013. Biden’s been slurring his words at all of his campaign events, an issue that can be hidden by a friendly fake news media for awhile, but which will become starkly obvious once the televised debates begin.
Perhaps all of this explains why we continue to see more and more reporters complaining about being bullied by Biden’s staff, who are working very hard to prevent their frail, elderly candidate from having to actually answer a few questions from the press. Here’s an example from one of the complaining reporters:
Marcus DiPaola ✔ @marcusdipaola · May 1, 2019 Replying to @marcusdipaola He tried very very very hard to dodge us by going out the Jimmy John's but was unsuccessful. We got him!
Marcus DiPaola ✔ @marcusdipaola Here's the video. @JoeBiden calls on AG Bill Barr to resign: "I think he's lost the confidence of the American people. I think he should." pic.twitter.com/1kseHghlw4
The woman with the pony tail in that video is becoming infamous among the press corps, as she pushes and shoves reporters at every Biden stop to ensure they can’t get close enough for him to hear their questions.
We’ve been through all of this with a frail Democrat candidate before, of course, as we witnessed the Pantsuit Princess’s staff abusing the press corps throughout the 2016 campaign. At one point, the Fainting Felon’s staffers literally strung a rope around the press gaggle to hold them away from their sickly candidate; at another event, they actually locked one reporter in a broom closet to keep him from shouting uncomfortable questions.
Of course, you couldn’t blame them: The Grasping Grifter had all manner of health issues going on and she hasn’t uttered a public word in forty years that wasn’t written for her by someone else. She could never be trusted to take extemporaneous questions in the way President Trump does on an almost daily basis.
The same holds true for Biden. Even as a younger man, Biden was a gaffe-prone circus clown – you literally never knew what might come out of his mouth at any given time. Now that he’s older and his mind is obviously slowing down pretty rapidly (no shame in that – it happens to all of us) he cannot be trusted by his own staff to to field off-the-cuff questions from the press corps.
Again, Biden is simply too old for this job. He just is. Again, there is no shame in that – I have nothing against elderly people and aspire to become one myself in the not-too-distant future. But our country simply cannot afford to have a frail, elderly man whose mind is obviously slipping occupying the Oval Office for four long years.
Biden had his window of opportunity four years ago, when he was still fairly cogent, to seek this office and passed it up under pressure from the Coughing Crook and Barack Obama. That window is now closed, though he hasn’t figured that out quite yet. But as the excitement over his long-delayed entry into this race fades, the Democrat voter base will figure it out for him.
Joe Biden’s already had his best polling days in this race. It’s all downhill from here.
That is all.

He deserves to win.
Even Margaret Thatcher told him she was sick of Trump.
And she’s DEAD!
That would be front page news everywhere if Trump said a dead person told him he/she was sick of the opponent.
If Trump said it they would declare him a liar, again
Well if he said a DEAD person told him they didn’t like his opponent, they’d be right!!
Bidden mentioned Thatcher (who is dead) as one of the government leaders that voiced her dissatisfaction with Trump!!
Biden talked to Cardinal Richelieu on the phone who told him Trump’s foreign policy is ridiculous. He spoke in a dream to Herbert Hoover who informed Biden that if Trump is elected, we can expect a depression in 2021. Biden got a call from the Emperor Napoleon who insisted that Trump’s military policy will lead to disaster. Time for the rest home, Joe, where you can tell all the phony stories you want and you’ve got a captive audience.
Didn’t he have two brain surgeries years ago?
“Didn’t he have two brain surgeries years ago?”
Does the surgeon have malpractice insurance?
The Democrats have to pull the plug on plugs before all the candidates suffer from the negative press. It will be a well planned exit.
Margaret Thatcher...voting Democratic since 2013.
Well done!
I hope Creepy Joe starts taking calls from all of the people the Clintons have had murdered. That would give him no time to do any public speaking.
It is interesting seeing how the Left is forced to ‘play it safe’ with Biden, even this early on, when candidates literally step on each others’ throats for air time.
LOL!!
Had to read that one twice because this is usually my night time.
But then I burst out laughing :)
And this just in ... Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is still dead ...
Sadly, it probably isn't far from what he's given by his campaign staff - the poor bastards. And it's needed even more than ever by him.
Biden later apologized for the Thatcher gaffe......”I meant to say Anthony Eden.”
Biden said: "Campaign stops? Oh wait. Am I running for something?"
Biden was just saying the other day that he had three visitors overnight...the ghost of elections past, present, and future. He kept telling his staff he thought he bore an uncanny resemblance to Bill Murray.
