Joe Biden is the apparent Democratic presidential nominee. After all, he had a seemingly insurmountable lead in delegates going into the rescheduled August convention in the postponed Democratic primary race.
Biden was winning the nomination largely because he was not the socialist Bernie Sanders, who terrified the Democratic establishment.
Biden was also not Michael Bloomberg. The multibillionaire former New York City mayor who jumped into the race when Biden faltered and Sanders seemed unstoppable. But Bloomberg spent $1 billion only to confirm that he was haughty, a poor debater and an even worse campaigner. He often appeared to be an apologist for China and seemed clueless about the interior of the United States.
The least offensive candidate left standing was Biden. Many Democratic primary voters initially had written him off as an inept retread, a blowhard and an impediment to the leftward, identity-politics trajectory of the newly progressive Democratic Party.
On the campaign trail, Biden insulted several voters, using insults such as "fat," "damn liar" and, weirdly, "lying dog-faced pony soldier."
Long ago he spun tall tales about how in his youth he had taken on a Delaware street gang with a 6-foot chain or slammed a bully's face into a store counter. More recently, he taunted President Trump with tough-guy boasts about taking him behind the proverbial gym and beating him up.

I wish Conservatives would quit announcing these truths about Biden. I don’t want the Democrats to dump him. They deserve him and we should want them, help them, to keep him. Criticize him yes, but we should be silent about saying how bad he is for the Dims.
I am a VDH fan also, but like you this article seemed to end with a whimper.
Biden is not really an exciting candidate, he has #metoo baggage with a creepy vibe, the stench of corruption has not gone away (Ukraine/China, and on top of that he appears to be mentally confused with odd behavior. The Bernie Bros are ticked off again. There are lots of whispers about who might replace him in some kind of magical event at the convention.
Despite all of this the usual polls show him winning by a large margin over Trump. Um, okay. Not even the usual suspects believe these....
I can’t make much sense of it either, so perhaps that is the point?
But in 2016, Trump narrowly carried the vote of white women and married women. I don’t I know the breakdown of the nervous Nellie Suburban women vote.
Just saying that there seems to be a truism out there that Trump has little if any support among Women Voters and that’s just not a true statement. I suspect some of a nervous Nellie women are liberal and would never have voted for Trump anyway.
Not so. If it goes to the House, each state gets one vote. The Republicans today control 26 delegations, with 2 delegations tied
The polling must be taking place ONLY among Dems. NO Republican I know has been polled at all-—at any time since 2016.
When you only ask the foxes how the chicken tastes & the chicken doesn’t get a voice, you get polls that are totally wrong & being totally manipulated.
BUT—That is what Dems do.
I’ve read, from multiple sources, that Big Mike wants nothing to do with politics. He’s enjoying the good life too much.
Giving away your age there tet.
Bet Rush is right the democrats will slip a new person into the arena.
Water Water everywhere but not a drop to drink.
Bump
Joe Biden: I did not molest that albatross, you lying dogface pony soldier!
