Menacing Invective Against Trump Creates Dangerous Climate
Townhall.com ^ | August 1, 2019 | Victor Davis Hanson

Former vice president and current presidential candidate Joe Biden has bragged on two occasions that he would like to beat up President Donald Trump.

In March 2018, Biden huffed, "They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, 'If we were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him."

Biden's tough-guy braggadocio was apparently no slip. A year later, he doubled down on his physical threats.

"The idea that I'd be intimidated by Donald Trump? ... He's the bully that I've always stood up to. He's the bully that used to make fun when I was a kid that I stutter, and I'd smack him in the mouth."

Had former Vice President Dick Cheney ever dared to say something similar of President Obama, what would the media reaction have been?

Recently, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), another presidential candidate, took up where Biden left off:

"Trump is a guy who you understand he hurts you, and my testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching him, which would be bad for this elderly, out-of-shape man that he is if I did that. This physically weak specimen."

One trait of the Democratic field of presidential candidates is always to sound further to the left than any of their primary rivals. Apparently, a similar habit is to see who can most effectively imagine beating up the president. For now, Booker seems to be in first place.

The current candidates are just channeling three years of sick showboating by Hollywood celebrities.

This is the point. It’s a giant temper tantrum to distract from their subversive goals and actions. They lost and won’t get over it, since they were so used to winning.

Right-and when you think of all the money Liberals threw at getting into the WH and all the cheating, fraud and the absolutely criminal, media-sanctioned grandstanding - you can see why the temper tantrum is so 'over the top', even for THEM!

So the President is being threatened by a scrawny little geriatric [Plugs Biden] and a fag from a sh*thole state who thinks he’s Spartacus. Next story please.

Biden is the one Trump was referring to when he said that he could stand out in Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and not lose any voters. Just like a non-hacker to bring his fists to a gunfight.

When you go to a restaurant in a blue state, bring your pepper spray and a roll of quarters.

In High school ??? In high school Donald Trump was captain of the baseball team. If Biden tried that he would have gotten an Ass Kicking he would have never forgot.

Biden is just like all the other tough guy liberals... he would wet himself at the first sign of an actual physical altercation. He is a dancing monkey. He reminds a little bit of Bruce Springsteen. Bruce writes songs about working in factories, and guys who hop up their cars, etc.. but he has never worked in a factory and knows nothing about working on cars. He has written some decent music, but he is a big phoney.

POTUS Trump’s security should be knocking on Uncle Creepy’s door.

Trump should say that he is not debating anyone who calls him a racist.

These people are sick. Never ever wanted to harm Obama while he was President. Just wanted his government ideas thwarted due to their stupidity.
