Good News for Joe Biden: (Crowd) Size Doesn’t Matter
Daily Beast ^ | 5/31/19 | Matt Lewis

You didn’t expect us to just let Uncle Joe coast to victory, did you? Where’s the fun without the Sturm und Drang?

In case you missed it, a media narrative developed this week to give pragmatic Democrats something new to worry about: Joe Biden’s “enthusiasm gap.”

The story goes like this: “He’s dominating in the polls, his fundraising is going gangbusters and he’s showing broad support from key political players in the early presidential states,” observed Politico this week. “So where are the big energetic crowds, the lines around the block to get into Joe Biden’s events?”

This raises several related questions: (1) Do large crowds correlate to winning, (2) should Joe Biden worry about the absence of large crowds, and (3) could said worrying be counterproductive?

They dont need voter enthusiasm, their base is vote fraud.

True - and additionally, democrats own the corrupt press.

Sleepy , sneaky Joe.

Can’t match Trump rallies of 10k to 100k attendance.
Sleepy Joe is lucky if he gets 500.

Sorry Dems, you and your liberal fascists dressed in Sleepy Joe clothes will not foolAmerica any longer.

President Trump is going to beat the Dems like a drum, take back both houses of Congress and put these dirty little bitches away into the dust bin of history.

The only Dem capable of representing constituents, and who are even remotely electable are the Blue Dog dems, and they are now dinosaurs inside the radical Donkey Kong party.

Look at the 24 dingbats running, each of them seized by “ideology” , an ideology tat America does NOT want governoing the country. America wants their representatives to accomplish legislation and to continue the economic boom.
And that ain’t any of the 24 weasels now vying for the top of the Dem leftist shit pile.

Uninformed voters do matter.


You’ve got that right.

Overheard a couple of guys at the bar yesterday talking about Biden. The takeaway was that they supported Biden, thought he seemed like a nice guys, but actually knew very little about him.

They knew all the media talking points about the president, though. And they were sure he needed to be stopped.

True. Their GOTV is good at getting unmotivated people out to the polls.

Idiots on talk radio and TV, I mean conservatives, are contributing to this by painting Biden as a conservative based on his statements in the 1970s. These morons will cause the electorate to think that Biden is a moderate which is exactly what he wants. They are trying to sow discord between Biden and the more leftist Democrat candidates but this is really stupid.
