Biden is making a fundamental mistake with Trump voters -- and it could cost him everything
Fox News ^ | April 26, 2019 | Capri Cafaro

I’ve always been a fan of Joe Biden. I admire his authorship of the Violence Against Women Act and his longstanding gravitas as a public servant for decades.

I even contributed to the Draft Biden PAC back in 2015 in hopes that the straight talker from Scranton would enter the race for the White House.

I was, indeed, “Ridin’ With Biden” as they say.

I truly believe that 2016 was Joe Biden’s moment to run for president. Yes, he had run unsuccessfully twice before. And, yes, sitting vice presidents are not usually successful in their bid for the top job. But, I saw Joe Biden as the one person who could have taken on Donald Trump four years ago.

Biden had some access to the Obama infrastructure, and more importantly, he had the authenticity to connect with Blue Collar voters in the industrial Midwest. Yet, Biden passed on running for president in 2016, deferring to the perceived inevitability of Hillary Clinton’s nomination.

0bama isn’t shilling for Biden, and last time around, he shilled for That Beotch OVER Biden!

No SANE Trump voter has ‘Gropey Joe’ on their radar other than for a laugh. Or a shudder. Blech!

Biden can’t win because he can’t thread the needle of attracting working class whites while placating the insane identity politics SJWs, and he has no integrity or charisma.

I think Sanders is the only one with actual grassroots support who could chip away at Trump, but the party elite hates him. It will be interesting to see if they can steal the nomination again.

Quite frankly the Democratic Party is very likely to fracture.

“This message, by deduction, basically says to Trump supporters, “Hey, since you support Trump you are on the side of evil. You are embracing these bigoted policies. You are just as bad as I am saying Trump is.”

Yes, but no, in that he is virtue signaling to liberals at this point in time.

I’ve heard similar “criticisms” about his “negative” and “dark” roll-out.

At this point in time, this sort of thing is what their base wants to hear.

Appealing to the general electorate comes later, he’s just trying to get the nomination now.

“he [Biden] had the authenticity to connect with Blue Collar voters in the industrial Midwest”

The author of the article is right about that. And I’m not just guessing here. That’s why I think Biden would be Trump’s most formidable opponent.

Oh, and one more thing. Joe Six Pack doesn’t care much about Biden’s many gaffes. Just like we don’t care much when Trump says something a bit odd.

Let’s just say that by stating that I am a member of the “dregs of society”, on account of my support for POTUS, Biden has not exactly endeared himself to me.

Capri:

We think it’s sweet that you believe any one or combination of the degenerates on your side of the divide have any chance what so ever.

That’s so special.

Bless your little heart.

Herein lies the problem with this bold strategy. This message, by deduction, basically says to Trump supporters, “Hey, since you support Trump you are on the side of evil. You are embracing these bigoted policies. You are just as bad as I am saying Trump is.” Again, Biden did not explicitly say this in the same kind of way Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables.” But, the offensive insinuation is there, leaving me to wonder how Joe Biden in 2020 can win over Americans who voted for Trump in 2016.

If Biden had run in 2016 and it looked like he was going to prevent Hillary from becoming the nominee, he would have died in an unfortunate accident. Maybe not on a hillside near Dubrovnik but somewhere.

I don’t care what the polls pretend to say. The identity politics nazis who are the base of the democraps are not letting a second old white straight guy play in their poopy playground.

I think Plugs-Buttplug v. Trump-Pence would make for a very entertaining election.
