Actually, WHO would have joined up with “O’Bozo”, except Slow Joe. We know where all that has brought us!
I’m gonna go with — it doesn’t matter. The polls have been locked in place for almost a year.
They’ve been locked during prosecution, they’ve been locked during debate disaster, they’ve been locked during assassination attempt and they’ve stayed locked during Biden dropout. Selection of VP is not going to move them, for either side.
Why is this happening? My read is when the parties had substantial %s of the electorate, there would be enough of them to have moderate factions vacillate and move the needle slightly.
But it’s Independents now and they don’t care about the policies being hyped. Don’t care about tax/spend, don’t care about abortion, don’t care about guns.
They do care about inflation, the Swamp and the border.
Those are not changing so the polls are not changing, and they fascinating thing about this is the people running the campaigns for pay can’t see it. Their whole careers have been about turning out votes for their own party. They have not yet grasped how small those numbers are now.
I think Joe, back when he had more than a single functional brain cell, had made Obama an offer he couldn't refuse. He was royally pissed that the Kenyan got the 2012 nod and not him. Knowing all of the skeleton closets in DC, Biden told Obama to pick him as his Veep, or he'd disclose all of Barry's homosexual liasons (he probably also knew about his "wife" Mike). Nowadays, our culture has degraded to the point where that wouldn't make much of a hit, but back 12 years ago, it would have torpedoed Bronco Bama's chances.
