Albatross ?
Joe Biden is like a dead chicken tied around
the neck of an egg sucking dog!
I firmly believe that the donkeys expected to throw Biden overboard *after* the convention, at which time they could put in place whatever hand-picked stooge they’d settled on, probably put in place as their VP pick.
What they absolutely did *not* want is to dump him *before* the convention, as that would either force them to take Sanders (suicide) or force them to sabotage Sanders (infuriating the Sanders cult into staying at home as an alternative form of suicide).
All that was upset by the Tara Reade stuff. That left them with roughly three approaches.
1) “Nothing happened”. But that destroys the “believe all women” narrative.
2) “Something happened, but it wasn’t that bad”. But that destroys the “we really care about women and Republicans hate women” narrative.
3) “Something bad happened, but Orange Man worse”. That’s essentially the Politico founder’s position - but that exposes the true nature of the Dems, which is for all intents and purposes “we don’t believe in a damn thing except the acquisition of power”.
The interesting thing is that the right person (like the young Bill Clinton, not the old, creepy Harvey Weinstein / Jeffrey Epstein Bill Clinton) could have pulled off any one of those approaches. But not Slow Joe - they dare not even let him out of the basement.
So the best hope of the Dems is to hope all the sex stuff just goes away (hence Nancy Pelosi’s “no more Tara Reade questions”) and/or that there’s more WuFlu bad news to distract the proles.
They are counting on the media to dress him up and turn his image into that of a wonderful, intelligent, sharp, respectful of women, multi-tasking, wise, skilled, etc statesman. The media is all in for this, and will willingly hide all gropey-joe’s gropings.
Even if it convinces a few, a lot of democrats will not feel any enthusiasm for him, and not bother to vote.
But the dems have something they can fall back on, something they always use: voter fraud. It should be easier this year to create millions of votes out of thin air.
We have massive enthusiasm on our side. We have all those voters who are really outraged at the rapid turn to fascism shown by democrats. We feel Trump has been wronged, slimed and trashed unfairly. We will drag ourselves to the polls no matter what.
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.
Bet Rush is right the democrats will slip a new person into the arena.
Water Water everywhere but not a drop to drink.
