For months now, it has been clear that Biden family corruption will be a campaign issue. The impeachment focused attention on ties between the vice president’s son, Hunter, and the corrupt Ukrainian oil and gas giant Burisma. But Hunter had equally close, equally profitable ties to Chinese state-owned banks. Those connections were formed when Joe Biden was leading the Obama administration’s policies toward both China and Ukraine.
Cozy, profitable, and possibly corrupt connections with the Chinese government are the last thing Americans want to hear about their politicians right now. Those voters are closeted at home, worried about their future, thanks to a virus that originated in Wuhan. They are mad as hell at Beijing for hiding what it knew, early on, about the pandemic. The Chinese Communist Party knew something terrible was happening, and it refused to share honest information about it. It denied the virus could be spread by human contact, weeks after it knew patients were infecting health care workers, and it hid vital information about the origins and genetic structure of the virus. The World Health Organization spread that misinformation. Beijing’s deception cost lives and livelihoods. Americans are reminded of it every day they are home from work or school under quarantine.
This anger at China’s rulers is bad news for Joe Biden. Voters see China as a rising threat and its economic gains as coming out of American pockets. The Trump campaign was already pushing these issues. It won’t have any trouble tying them to Joe Biden and making his family the face of American elites who profit from their insider positions.

Then that old man was criticizing Trump for not being ‘tough enough’ on China. I doubt that this old fool will ever make it past the Democratic Convention. The reason that Sanders stayed in was to force a contested convention so that they can replace him with who they want - they won’t give Trump the chance to destroy Biden in a debate.
“...Biden family corruption will be a campaign issue.”
Really? Where?
Maybe on Free Republic, where I don’t think Quid-Pro-Joe was going to garner a lot of votes anyway. Are we going to hear about Biden’s ties to China on the cable news networks? Will posts about it be allowed on Facebook? Will we read about it in the NY Times?
I suspect we will be well protected from “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories” about this topic, just as we have been about Ol’ Joe’s sexual harassment charges.
Why wait? Time for Predident Trump to directly plant tge hunter b seeds NOW.
I’m not sure what the plan to replace Slo Joe is but he is not a viable candidate.
What, aren’t there enough voters who hate our country and Orange man ?
China? Come on, man.
Drjill Biden has assured the country that "Hunter has done nothing wrong".
Running against China won’t work — the Democrats can easily go into reverse and trash China with a fury — until the next election is over. What the Democrats can’t escape is how how their hysterical response to the virus is needlesy destroying our economy and ruining the things we enjoy out of life.
Truly Joe Biden is the “Manchurian Candidate”.
“...I’m not sure what the plan to replace Slo Joe is but he is not a viable candidate...”
A vote for PedoJoe is a vote of treason.
Actually, a vote for PedoJoe is NOT a vote for PedoJoe, but instead, a vote for whatever whacko communist lib female he should happen to pick as VP because it’s highly unlikely the SOB will make it thru his first year...IF elected.
Biden is a non-issue. The man clearly has dementia.
PedoJoe will not be the real candidate - the DNC/CPUSA must replace him at the appropriate time.
Biden’s going to bow out “due to health reason”.
Then he can boast for the rest of his life (and his offspring, his other hanger-ons) that he could have been POTUS.
I think that title is all he wants, he doesn’t want the work to go with it.
“I think that title is all he wants, he doesn’t want the work to go with it.”
Neither did obama..want the work that went with it. (Thank God leftist are lazy!)
I was going to say at least obama could string a complete sentence togther...but actually he couldn’t without a teleprompter.
Not really democratic is it? :)
Byedone is a Chicom stooge.
