Democratic debate 2019: Joe Biden stands out for all the wrong reasons

HOUSTON — Front-running Joe Biden stood out the most in Thursday’s snoozer of a Democratic debate — but for all the wrong reasons as he rambled through responses laden with non-sequiturs about record-players and Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard.

“Play the radio. Make sure the television — excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the phone … make sure that kids hear words, a kid coming from a very poor school, a very poor background will hear four-million words fewer spoken by the time they get there,” babbled the former Vice President, 76, at one point.

It wasn’t clear if he was about to go from record player back to phonograph, or if he was about to make a point about cell phones.

The labyrinthine answer — mercifully cut short by a moderator — came in response to a straightforward question about whether Biden felt an obligation to make amends for prior generations’ school segregation.

Biden hardly got his train of thought back on track by his closing statement, name-dropping 19th-century thinker Kierkegaard when asked to address his greatest professional failure.

One of the local TV newscasts in San Francisco tonight featured a report from a watch party in town. The reporter mentioned the audience laughing at Joe’s bit about the record player. When S.F. liberals are laughing at you, your lock on the Dem nomination might be in trouble.

Wow, Mega-Millions at $172 million dollars!

The odds of winning Mega-Millions would be similar to Joe winning the Presidency.

You mean by rigging the odds through an inside job?!

Joe, you have Alzheimer’s. For the sake of yourself and your family, end this madness and seek treatment.

If the nomination goes to one of the more radical Democrats, you might see less money for their campaign, but I doubt it. Even the wealthier Democrats are very desperate. If the nomination goes to Biden, you may see many of the younger Democrats staying home on election day.

It highlights how profoundly broken the system is when Joe The Train Wreck remains their front runner.

I’ve been speculating about another possibility. The scary candidates are setting the tone. The Dems might be scaring media bigmouths with their plans to confiscate all wealth and the privilege it brings them. The media might be less hostile to President Trump, considering the alternative.
