With Joe Biden as their presumptive 2020 presidential nominee, the Democrats are headed for a major disappointment.
Donald Trump's election in 2016 was an overt rejection of our nation's corrupt political establishment, fueled by a deep-seated popular desire for a genuine leader. Unlike conventional politicians, Trump answers directly to the American people—not to international institutions, establishment power brokers or even his own party's bigwigs. Four years on, whether you agree or disagree with him politically, it's hard to deny that Donald J. Trump is exactly the kind of unscripted, "tell-it-like-it-is" president Americans all over the country were hoping for when they voted for him.
Biden, on the other hand, is the Hillary Clinton of 2020—a typical "tell-them-what-they-want-to-hear" politician whose entire career has been based on pandering to the ruling class.
The Democratic Party's leadership clearly doesn't see this as a liability, because it arguably went to even greater lengths to swing the nomination in Biden's favor than it did to ensure Clinton's nomination in 2016. To these party leaders, it was unfathomable that Clinton's well-earned reputation as a power-hungry panderer could have contributed to her stunning defeat. America simply wasn't "ready for a woman president," they told themselves. So they picked the male version of Hillary Clinton and patted themselves on the back for keeping Bernie Sanders off the ticket.
The Democratic establishment still holds a grudge against Sanders, whom some party leaders blame for failing to convince his enthusiastic base of supporters to turn out for Clinton in 2016. In a naive attempt to prevent the same thing from happening again in 2020, Biden likes to brag he has "the most progressive record of anybody running"—a theme that former President Barack Obama echoed in his own perfunctory endorsement of his former vice president last week.
But the truth is

Biden is the nominee for the same reason he was VP: he’s the relatively safe and controllable party apparat who will be paired with the (likely) gal the far Left (which is the DNC) really wants. But instead of being the lesser of evils to balance a ticket he’ll be the electable evil (given a “good” VP) to get the overt evil into office once he’s deposed or dead.
The Left is using him just as it did before.
He ain’t the chosen one yet. A lot of knifes are being sharpened.
Reminds me of my old Latin declensions. BIden May be the nominee nomina NomiNUT
I still believe that when Trump wins the Ukrainian Phone Call scandal makes a reappearance.
I’m predicting an Electoral College win for Trump, which will be the final match that ignites the globalists.
Also, the left is not done. We are still 7 months away from the election.

We will never forget,
Her time of grief,
When she was tossed into that van,
Like a side of beef.

Wow, from Newsweek?!
2016: there can’t be a worse candidate than Hillary
2020: Hold my beer

Mail voting.
Pray that the President who is on the Side of the Angels will prevail and that the Party of Hate and Evil will fall forever into the trash dump of history. Note tagline.
Most likely you are correct. The Dem power brokers we’ve all grown accustomed to have passed their sell-by dates.
Biden is a very flawed candidate.
He has a lengthy record of decisions in his 5 decades that are antithetical to the progressives.
He has a big corruption problem with his son and family in Ukraine, China, Iraq, with Amtrak, and elsewhere.
He has a sexual assault allegation that is far more credible than the Kavanaugh witchhunt and a history of creepy behavior with women and children.
He is exhibiting signs of a lack of mental acuity with bizarre outburst, fabricated stories, and failure to remember the names of many people to include Obama.
He has a documented record of being wrong on big issues.
He has never been a good candidate failing to even achieve 10% support among the party base in his prior runs for President.
He is NOT a good candidate.
LOL
The Democrats are like CNN, they just don’t get it. The definition of being crazy, doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
He’s going to die or have to retire soon because of mental health ... and that makes him better than whatever utterly unelectable VP who will be the real candidate even as people who don’t understand how far to the Left the DNC is and will never vote for anyone but a Democrat can be convinced Biden is their man.
