Biden, now 76, attacked his older opponent's age during 1972 Senate run
Fox News ^ | June 04 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Former Vice President Joe Biden is one of the oldest candidates ever to run for president, but in 1972, he repeatedly attacked his opponent's age in order to be elected as the Delaware senator, a report found Monday.

Long before the 76-year-old launched his third bid for the presidency, a 29-year-old Biden was running for Senate against the two-term incumbent, 62-year-old Sen. Cale Boggs, R-Md. And, his campaign made his youthfulness prominent in print ads.

"Cale Boggs' generation dreamed of conquering polio. Joe Biden's generation dreams of conquering heroin... [Biden] understands what's happening today," one ad read as reported by CBS News. Another read, "In 1950 Cale Boggs hoped to make Americans safe from Stalin. In 1972 Joe Biden hopes to make Americans safe from criminals... We've got a new crime problem in this country. We need some new thinking."

Obviously Biden didn’t keep his 1972 campaign promises.

Yup. How do you think I feel about Mexifornia? We had Republican.Governors and the state went Republican in the electoral college. Don’t ever think your state is immune. Wherever you are.

Well, Maryland is a blue state with some hostage red counties. But from time to time, we elect a Republican Gov. Like Larry Hogan so far.

It’s different now since Biden can boast that his advanced age matches his IQ.

It is in the original article. Embarrassing, writers are too stupid to know they are stupid or even have their work proof read.

40 years later we have a heroin problem, an oxycontin problem, a meth problem, and a fentanyl problem brought on in part by an exploding illegal alien problem. We don’t need “new thinking”, we need old thinking, like enforcing laws on the books.

Larry Hogan is like Mitt Romney lite. To the left of Bob Ehrlich who managed to sneak in only because the D opponent was Bobby Kennedy’s whiny daughter Kathleen (Townsend). When Ehrlich met a D candidate with some charisma and a better than dismal record as mayor of Shithole (Baltimore), he was trounced.

...you forgot to add that Stalin is making a comeback, or at least his ghost in the Democrat Party.

Joe Biden is going nowhere. No substance, no crowds, no supporters, no brains, no nothing!!! Trumpie is right on the money.....Sleepy, Creepy, Touchy, Disgusting, Joe!!!

Fact is: There is not one Democrat Party, POTUS Candidate that would even come close to defeating POTUS, Donald J. Trump in his re-election bid in 2020. Case closed!!!

Remember...folks, gigantic, massive, blockbuster, full house, MEG/MAGA Trump political rally in the Amway Center Arena (20,000 seats), Orlando, FL being held on Wednesday, June 18, 2019, commencing at 8:00 PM (EDT). More Info at “www.donaldjtrump.com”

Folks....turn out in massive numbers and fill up the Arena & streets surrounding it in downtown Orlando. Goal should be: 1,000,000+ Trump supporters & voters!!! Be there or be nowhere!!! Stun the world and destroy the entire Democrat Party in one evening!!!

Joe Biden's generation dreams of conquering heroin...

And 47 years later, Biden still hadn't done a G-Damn thing about it.

Biden is a snake. If he were a movie character, he’d be the comical sidekick to the hero who continually double-crosses the hero but keeps coming back, so you sort of like him anyway even though you don’t trust him (sort of like Tuco in The Good, the Bad & the Ugly).
