Stay Alive, Joe Biden: Democrats need little from the front-runner beyond his corporeal presence.

Two days before the South Carolina primary that would reverse his political fortunes and redirect the course of the Democratic nomination, Joe Biden’s campaign for president announced a hastily planned event in McClellanville, South Carolina. The national campaign press was alerted that Biden would enter full battle mode at this stop, that the proverbial gloves were about to come off ahead of the kill-or-be-killed primary on Saturday, and no one would want to miss this one.

A lot of TDS in that article, and a touch of Fake News mixed in.

And this, from the article . . .

Biden’s team appears to understand this, and to believe that what matters most now is keeping their candidate alive in the American imagination as an alternative to Trump.

Not so fast, lying dog-face pony soldier at Atlantic—you mean, "What matters most now is keeping their candidate alive." Full stop.

[ Who will be the de facto regent if Biden wins? ]

[End Times Sentinel]

Mooshell might be an interesting pick. She knows nothing about how to govern, but neither did the rookie.
Axe, Plouf, The Tiny Dancer, et al will call all the shots again.

Remember in 2008, when we had the financial meltdown, the democrats smartly put Obama in the driver’s seat at the negotiations.

Here, instead of all the democrats consulting their “presumptive nominee”, they have him in hiding while they send 3 disparate messages from their main players.

They are squandering an opportunity to show that they think Biden could lead the country. Instead, Biden is pretending he is “working the crisis”, while there is zero indication that any democrat is listening to a word he says.

And James Comey will be the director of the FBI, and James Clapper will be director of the National Intelligence Agency, and John Brennan will be the head of the CIA, adn Sally Yates will be back as Deputy AG and . . .

Very good take Charles.

First thought I had was “Weekend at Bernie’s”.

They have to keep him from the public to hide his mental decline. One of the saddest things to witness is when a person loses everything they ever knew, even themselves.

“And Andrew Cuomo is sneaking up behind her, preparing to shove her down a flight of stairs”

That’s one endeavor I could support Cumo in.

[DoughtyOne]

A good puff of air in her direction should about do it.

[seowulf]

The Atlantic wants Joe to have a Weekend at Bernie’s?

I suspect that Biden believes some of his own stories -- "His Father's Surprising Reaction"

One main aspect of a degenerative condition is that it doesn’t get better. Hiding Biden will not allow him to regain his strength or mental capacity. It’s actually the opposite. The more he is hidden, the more apparent it will be that he is slipping once he returns to the public eye.
