The leftstream media characterization of Joe Biden is that he is moderate, likable, and the most electable Democrat candidate. He is affable Uncle Joe, the self-made lunchbox-toting common man of the people.
In truth, he is none of the above.
Joe the Moderate
The "Biden as moderate" canard is getting increasingly hard to defend. On the economy-, car-, and cow-killing $93-trillion Green New Deal, Biden was asked if it goes too far or is unrealistically promising too much.
He answered, "No, no it's not."
When previously asked if there would be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in his administration, Biden answered, "No...we would make sure it's eliminated, and no more subsidies for either one of those, period."
Green New Deal? Two thumbs up. Fossil fuels? Fracking and coal? Kill them. How he would eliminate them is one of history's great mysteries.
Not content to destroy the economy, Biden has embraced the full gamut of abortion radicalism, to include flipping to oppose the Hyde Amendment, which forbids taxpayer funds to pay for most abortions. This is the amendment that pro-abortion Democrats traditionally use to hide their radicalism, but Biden threw off even that fig leaf.
He said, "I can't justify leaving millions of women without the health care they need. If I believe health care is a right, as I do, I can no longer support [the amendment]."
The death-cult pro-abortion groups love Biden because they know he is fully committed to their hellish agenda.
On border security, Biden's position is indistinguishable from those of the other radicals in the party. His hand went up when asked if he is in favor of decriminalizing border security and providing taxpayer-funded health care to non-citizens.
When asked about immigration detention centers, he answered, "Close them down!

Sounds like the ideal candidate. The only difference between Biden and Zero is #3 (Zero preferred boys), #2 (Zero won), and his age (#5). Facts about Zero were never available, just spin and PR.
Biden is playing to the left to get the nomination. He will shift to the middle if he wins.
He'll play a little to the right to get the nomination, play more to the left during the election campaign, but if he wins, he'll shift back to the left, and it'll be all night forever.
I am betting on a brokered convention with Michele Obama being drafted to save the party. She will be portrayed as a moderate instead of the hateful bigot that she actually is. Republicans need to prepare for an awful vicious campaign. Ballots will come out of nowhere as they did in California last year.
