David Brooks January Flashback: 'Joe Biden Is Stronger Than You Think'
Newsbusters ^ | February 6, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

Perhaps the New York Times "conservative" columnist David Brooks might want to consider gettting out of the prediction business. His rate of correct prognostications has approached the zero mark ever since President Donald Trump was elected. In fact, just three days after the 2016 election, Brooks predicted that Trump "will probably resign or be impeached within a year."

After more than three years since that prediction fail, Brooks' prognostication record remains at about the same laughable level. We need go back only a couple of weeks to January 23 to laugh at his latest bold observation that "Joe Biden Is Stronger Than You Think." Yes, the same Joe Biden that came in fourth in the Iowa caucus with apparently no delegates won from that state. Biden is so far behind third place Elizabeth Warren that no matter how many apps or recounts are used, he doesn't stand any chance to rise in relation to the other candidates there.

Biden has feet of clay, and brain of mush.

Here’s a prediction .Biden will quit after South Carolina citing “health issues”. He will withdraw from public life except to use whatever influence or information he has to blackmail people who will be investigating his son.

Trust your own eyes, these gurus are making predictions for one purpose, to make money, but they are not accurate.

When Joe has 10 people show up and Trump has 10,000 - there’s a reason.

That’s a good prediction. Biden will become a modern-day version of Geraldine Ferraro. After his embarrassing failure he will disappear from public life, and you won’t see any mention of him in the national media until you read his obituary.

Ferraro at least had a little life left in her when she became a talking head on one of the cable news channels covering the 2008 election. Biden cannot hold a train of thought long enough to even do that.

Maybe Brooks was excited by Joe’s he-man challenge to that guy in Iowa who called him a liar. He challenged the 80 year old guy to a push-up contest and called him “fat.”

Joe’s macho act probably got Brooksie all verklempt and that’s why he said he was strong.

Yo, David Brooks: Just a sobering reminder that Biden has apparently never won a presidential primary.

Your brain seems to be suffering from severe damage. Drug/alcohol abuse and an Aids infection severely limits one's ability to think properly.

People, calm down. Brooks was misquoted. What he really said: "Joe Biden is stranger than you think."
