The Portentous Biden Blowup
National Review ^ | March 10, 2020 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 03/10/2020 7:18:29 PM PDT by karpov

Joe Biden lost it again on the campaign trail at an auto plant being built in Detroit, and in a now familiar script.

His blowup had all his characteristic theatrics of prior such encounters. There were the shouting at blue-collar workers, the he-man, corn-pop-like braggadocio, the ad hominem expletives (“you’re full of s***!”), the invasion of one’s personal space with his habitual wagging finger, the personal invective (“horse’s a**”), and, of course, being wrong on the issues and accusations.

It certainly is reasonable to assume that, given Biden’s promise to put Beto O’Rourke (“Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15”) in charge of a President Biden’s Second Amendment policies, a normal voter rightly could fear that Biden either wants, or would allow, bans on certain type of guns.

This latest incident joins lots of others, such as the Iowa one-on-one with an apparently portly male questioner: “You’re a damn liar, and that’s not true. . . . I’m not sedentary. You want to check my shape on, let’s do push-ups together, let’s run, let’s do whatever you want to do, let’s take an IQ test. . . . Look, fat . . .”

Or the brush-up with the young woman in New Hampshire: “You ever been to a caucus? No, you haven’t. You’re a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.”

We are told all this is baked into the Good Ol’ Joe from Scranton persona, and his supporters no more care than the MAGA audiences do when it comes to Trump’s tweets and disparaging epithets.

Perhaps. But Biden is being sold as the alternative to Bernie’s assumed Armageddon of the down-ticket Democratic Party on two counts: One, he is a nice guy, unlike the supposedly scowling Bernie or the crude Trump, and being 77 this year is no big deal

Does anyone really believe this brain-damaged a**hole will continue in the race EIGHT more months?

I love the lying dog-faced pony soldier one. I’m thinking of getting a T-shirt with that on it. “Joe Biden called me a lying dog faced pony soldier.”

The same journalist whores who criticized Trump for every comment and tweet will make excuses for this old fool.

All you need to from the always erudite but verbose VDH: The problem is that we have never before witnessed a major party’s likely candidate who so early in the race seems unable to meet the grueling demands of the spring, summer, and fall campaign trail, much less the anticipated duties of president. Bingo!!!!!

Very recently Hillary was asked if she was supporting Biden and she winked and said something to the effect of, “No, I am supporting the candidate” - whatever that means.

She means herself!

She’s the reason why contemporary politics is such the merciless bloodsport that it is today.

I think if Hillary croaked tomorrow, the WHOLE nation would heal in a matter of weeks.

The Hard Hat wearing Iron Workers who stood their ground against Clueless Joe are the real heroes. Those guys come to work every day and actually accomplish something. Slo Joe wouldn’t last 2 seconds with any of the guys he challenged “to step outside”

This man is in a position to possibly argue a strategic Arms Treaty with China, Russia or Peoria. (Just ask him).
