When will 'Basement Biden' get in the game?
The Hill ^ | 09 26 2020 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 09/26/2020 10:02:38 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Less than six weeks before the election, one of the most profound disappointments among some of Joe Biden’s supporters is that he doesn’t even seem to be trying.

If some Democrats are correct, crushing “The Donald” should have been easy. After all (according to them), Trump is an impeached, sex-offending, tax-evading, white supremacist, coronavirus-mismanaging, sexist, racist, Islamophobic, homophobic, mysogynistic, sexist liar who is wildly unpopular. And Biden has long showed a hefty advantage in the polls.

If all of that’s true, then Biden need do little more than show up, and winning should be a piece of cake — a massive blowout.

But even to some of his cheerleaders, it feels like Biden hasn’t even been showing up. From March until the last week in August, according to news reports, Biden made no in-person speeches or campaign appearances at all.

On Thursday, President Trump stopped by the Supreme Court to pay respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, made a health-care policy speech in North Carolina, then flew to Jacksonville, Fla., for a giant campaign rally at the airport.

Biden? He had no public events on his calendar.

“What is surprising to me is how Kamala has also turned out to be a gaffe machine totally lacking in charisma.”

This is what you get when enough voters blindly pull the “D” switch because their parents did, or they want free stuff, or they want to save the world.

Hiding Biden might work because he doesn’t have the negative attributes of Hillary to overcome.

That is why they are hiding Harris as well to avoid building up her negatives. They thought she would win the nomination but did not get off the ground because she is who she is.

The Democrats’ leadership resembles the leadership of the old Soviet Union in its final decades. Biden is the American equivalent of Leonid Brezhnev (but with less charisma).

“Is there such a thing as a “fatal Biden gaffe”?
He’s already fondled women and children, sniffed hair, swum naked in front of female Secret Service,told black people they weren’t black if they didn’t vote for him, battled Cornpop,called voters lying dog faced pony soldiers, challenged voters to push up contests, sold out to China,threatened Ukraine on behalf of his crooked son, forgotten where he was, forgotten what office he was running for, been caught getting answers to questions from a teleprompter and hidden in his basement for extended periods. So I’m pretty sure in the eyes of the media there is no such thing as a fatal Biden gaffe.

Poster #31 "Joe is the media and fat-cat donor candidate, that much has been evident from the very beginning. What I'm getting from the young, passionate, and stupid Dem partisans is a sense of dismay that the geriatric wing of the party is so firmly in command and so little interested in competition. Consider the players: Gropin' Joe, 77 years old. Diane Feinstein, 87, and no, that isn't a misprint. Bernie Sanders, 79. Nanzi Pelosi, 80, Hillary, a sprightly 72. ..."...Spot on! IMHO I think the MSM is more than responsible of letting these long in the tooth politicians and the Squad as their only distraction bamboozle all of us, left and right to keep this POTUS from getting even more done....President Trump is a roaring success now but think of how successful he can be without the ancients clawing their way back into power....

THis convinces me that the Dems have got major voter fraud waiting.

It's not just the fraud.

Democrats are going to demand, "COUNT EVERY VOTE!" regardless of their validity.

Here's something I was thinking about.

Suppose I send in my mail in vote on Nov. 2nd. It won't be counted until after the election.

The next day, I go to my polling place and vote in person.

My mail in vote won't register when I vote in person but I now have two votes in the system.

Will the system recognize two votes from the same person? What if I make one small change on the mail in vote and I look like two different people?

I'm sure there are 'safeguards' but with thousands of extra mail in votes flooding the system mistakes will happen.

She may have disappointed in ME, but she did an absolutely stellar job waving to the Biden Car Parade (maybe it was PA?).

Trump has more energy and stamina that I ever did at any point in my life. He is an absolutely astounding man. He seems to get even more energy from every rally he leads. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.

I think Mr. Trump may be overthinking his choice of a moniker for Joe.

Obviously his moniker should be,

Old Man Biden

I understand your point but take the opposite side and say this inertia is suicidal.

Very interested in the debate Tuesday.

I can’t believe a person can become leader of the free world without campaigning. But I have been wrong before.

Rush is maintaining his position that there won’t be any debates - Biden’s handlers can’t risk it and they can claim Biden has been exposed to someone who has been exposed to Covid as a way to cop out.

IMHO if that happens - or even if it doesn’t - Trump should start referring to him as “Old Man Biden.”

IMHO that would be a kill shot.

As Juan Williams barks every day on The Five, “Why should he get out of the basement? He’s ahead in the polls so it seems to be working for him.”

You can see eight eyes roll every time he says it.

None of the other four call him the buffoon that he is.

Poor Juan, he has to do what he does to keep the BLM crowd from destroying his home.

He’s not. He’s running out the clock while the rats run millions of dollars worth of smear ads.

I know his energy is astounding. Remember in 2016 around this time he was doing 4 rallies PER DAY!! I really think the guy does not sleep or he sleeps on the plane, and when has he ever taken a vacation? Remember Obama and his MONTHLY vacation? Every month it seemed he was taking off to Hawaii and we’d see him riding that stupid bike, and if he wasn’t taking a vacation he was hitting fundraisers ever other day. Trump is a gift and he takes no salary, and people hate this guy?? He is fighting for them day and night, and these morons want Biden who is going to be selling us off to every foreign interest possible?

That’s what I just don’t get. He if fighting the self-dealing, crooked federal government day and night with all the people who went in broke and got rich. He is sacrificing everything for us. But people still say “He’s mean. He lies. He’s a racist. I don’t like his tweets.” It is truly incomprehensible.

In 2012, Mitt Romney was having tens of thousands of people cheering him at rallies, while Obama was hiding like Biden is doing now...yet, Obama comfortably won.

Nope.
Obama campaigned hard and had huge enthusiastic crowds. He never hid anywhere like Biden is doing.

“Biden’s handlers are playing a smart game, IMO”

I don't think it is a smart game, but the only game they have. He physically can't get out like Trump is doing. That much is obvious. And if he is out much he is going to have gaffs and meltdowns that make the ones thus far minor.

I think they have been medicating him for the morning appearances. Even with that he has looked confused. He will probably start out fairly good in the upcoming debate, but will start melting down at about the 45 minute point. He will either be incredibly confused or get overly mad and aggressive at Trump. Either will be a disaster because the media can't protect him. It will be for all the nation to see.

The only reason I can think of why people are like that is because of the damn media. These people just take everything the media says as gospel completely oblivious to the fact that they are being scammed. I’m reading Candace Owens book “Blackout” and in it she says she use to be one of those people, a liberal, until she realized the media was lying to her. Some people just can’t accept the fact that they are being scammed, she could and that’s what made her leave the left.
