WILL SLOW JOE MAKE IT TO THE PRIMARIES?
Powerline ^ | August 9,2019 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 08/10/2019 7:55:36 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Joe Biden remains on top of the Democratic presidential polls, which can only be taken as an indication of the weakness of the field. “Slow Joe” Biden has never been intelligent, and at 76 years old he is far from the top of his game, such as it ever was.

Among other things, Biden has longstanding problems with race. Biden is famous for his gaffes, which are usually written off as signs of his good-old-boyness. But a striking number of those blunders have involved race. Some are well-known (Barack Obama was “The first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy”), some less so (“There’s less than 1% of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4 or 5% that are minorities. What is in [Washington, D.C.]? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with”).

Last night, Biden stepped in it again, sounding a theme that he has tripped over more than once before: “Poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.” Hoo boy. It’s a good thing for President Trump that he never says anything like that!

Like Hillary Clinton (although for somewhat different reasons), Joe Biden will never be president. He simply isn’t smart or competent enough to mount a successful campaign, as his prior runs have demonstrated. And at 76, he isn’t getting any better. If I were a Democrat, I would be deeply concerned that my party doesn’t have a candidate who, so far at least, can match Slow Joe in the polls.

She has a lot of work to do after the beating Gabbard gave her and her poor response.

His own party will ensure he will not make it. They are doing more damage to Joe than any republican could. They want a socialist. Joe is just a progressive elite. That won’t due this time around.

It isn’t slow Joe. It’s Shotgun Joe Biden the Groping Pedo.

BTW - Haven’t heard a Peep about his Brother being charged in a Financial Scandal yesterday. Why would that be?

OK, so who’s the dark horse?

I’m hoping for either Creepy Joe or Psychojawea, just for snits & giggles during the debates.

PDJT will either play Joe like a cheap fiddle or provoke Warren’s volcanic temper into screeching outbursts.

We NEED Joe, if only as “designated loser” this election cycle.

Think Bob Dole. Just like Dole, this is “Biden’s turn”.

The real contest comes in 2024. All the “also-rans” are positioning for that slot.

Who will the Republicans put up then?

The bestest thing about Joe Biden’s candidacy is that the Liberals themselves can engage in a flame war with the staunch leftists, as we have already seen. What’s great about this circus is that it is on autopilot. There’s no need to attack Joe Biden over and above a couple of Trumps tweets. The left will do all the necessary work for this purpose.

There is a small possibility that Harris will be the nominee, I would grant you that. But I also feel that she generates very significant negative feelings on a subliminal level.., and I think DNC polling to come will reveal that. In some respects she rhymes with Hillary because everybody but her is deplorable. At root, she is an angry young woman who generates interest because she’s better-looking than your average leftist. But she will become forced to change her positions ( and I don’t mean missionary nor doggy) at least two to three times between now and the election and, as a result of the polling that I am sure will show her to be unlikable, I strongly believe that she’s going to be forced to bow out.

Good question. No disrespect intended for Vice President Pence, but we should be thinking about putting someone in position to run in 2024. I don't think it's him.

But then again, I didn't think he was a very good choice in 2016, and he proved me wrong.

He graduated from being the dumbest man in The Senate - Maisie Hirono or Patty Murray wins for the women - to being the dumbest VP we ever had. That's a story, man. Jobs, jobs, jobs.

The problem is (according to Joe) that people are “choosing the truth over facts”. What does that even mean???

That was a "slip" by Joe where he accidentally revealed the Democratic Party agenda.

"Facts" are things the average person knows to be true from personal experience or logic.

"The truth" is whatever the Democrats and their mass media propagandists tell you it is, no matter how insane. They also reserve the right to change their position at a moments notice, and you are a "crazy right wing hater" if you don't agree with them--fully--and all the time.

####Hilary will be wheeled in at the eleventh hour.#####

I agree. Out of the 20 currant wanna-bees, none can beat Trump, and the media knows it. Mrs. Obama can’t win, and that leaves nobody.

2024? Mike Pence? Mike Huckabee?

The GOP will.not have a force of nature such as Trump in 2024. Good question as to what happens after the Trump presidency.

It should be obvious to anyone that not only is Biden a blithering idiot, it should also be apparent that for the 40 years he has been in government aside from enriching himself and his family at the expense of We The People he has ZERO legislative accomplishments.
