ANALYSIS: Impeaching Trump Probably Destroyed Biden's Presidential Campaign
PJ Media ^ | 02/10/2020 | Matt Margolis

Pundits are beginning to agree that Joe Biden's campaign is in a death spiral.

"Biden’s campaign is running on fumes," writes The Daily Beast's Sam Stein. "A candidate with all the trappings of a traditional frontrunner—the long résumé, party backing, relevant experience, and steady poll numbers—suddenly is on electoral life support."

So what happened? Should Biden's campaign crash and burn there will be much speculation over what went wrong. How did the frontrunner go from smooth sailing to the nomination to an epic disaster?

Well, I think the answer is already clear.

When you look at the Real Clear Politics tracking in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire, you will notice a pattern: Biden starts losing support, or some other candidate starts to rise, around mid-September 2019.

Mid-September happens to be the same time the whistleblower complaint that launched Trump's impeachment became public.

Looking at the graphs of Iowa and New Hampshire you see quite clearly how Biden's candidacy was riding high, the unequivocal frontrunner, for months. Months! Then suddenly the race became competitive between Biden, Sanders, Warren, and eventually Buttigieg.

Biden has never regained that runaway frontrunner status since the Democrats started their bogus impeachment of Trump. And it's quite easy to understand why.

Prior to the whistleblower complaint, Biden's Ukraine conflict of interest was not on the public radar, but thanks to those revelations, videos of Biden admitting to a quid pro quo, and his son Hunter's position at Burisma Holdings were being discussed and debated openly by media. For sure, the liberal media attempted to downplay the significance of Biden's Ukraine problem, but Biden, who was seen as the sane and safe candidate, wasn't so safe anymore. Even Biden's cheerleaders on The View couldn't deny it.

It would be a very deep game, but if Hillary plans to make a move at the convention, telling Nancy to impeach Trump over Ukraine has a lot of upside and limited downside. Gotta get rid of Joe somehow.

Average folks understand that when your useless whore chasing coke snorting son is paid millions of dollars by a foreign company, _something_ (worth more millions of dollars) is expected in return.

Average folks have common sense.

While the MSM cries “no proof”, the fact that Hunter was on the payroll of Burisma __was the proof!

It is not an appearance of a conflict of interest, it is not just a conflict of interest, it is a bribe.

That is a fact.

Whether that bribery could be proven in a court of law is besides the point.

The American public knows a crook when they see one—and they found out that Joe was running a criminal family.

Seems like Biden is doing a great job of self-imploding all on his own...

My take is the radical Dems never wanted Biden but couldn’t tell him and the establishment, so they continued to push impeachment knowing it would eventually harm Biden vis-a-vis Ukraine and Hunter.

I think Biden’s demise began shortly after the scheduled debates began ... and he showed up on stage looking like the useless old loser that he is.

If Biden keeps falling in the primary, I could just see Trump mocking Dems for being unable to shoot straight. "They tried to take out me, but took out Joe Biden instead."

There's enough truth there that it would probably stick.

"...the long résumé, the relevant experience"

LOLOL...he's got a résumé so light it would float away if people didn't hold it down with ropes. And "experience"? WHAT experience? Sitting in the Senate keeping your head down? Getting picked by The Won to be veep? Sky-high corruption in Ukraine?

Matt Margolis is fawning over him for no good reason.

Joe has never really been solidly in the lead, except for
those questionable polls of the Main Stream Media.
Now, even they must admit what everyone else sees, Joe is not the right man to lead this nation.
He’s not even trying to appear presidential or diplomatic anymore. Joe is locked into a mode of brittle, shallow defensiveness.

One of these Town Halls, Joe is going to poke somebody in the chest as a reaction to their ‘wrong’ question, and that person is going to poke him right back. Come down off your cloud, Joe. Keep your G.damn hands and Weak-Boy insults to yourself. You ain’t Royalty, or even Enlightened.

Any Joey will lose his opponent defense.

He wasn’t the nominee when all this started so even that was bogus...

Burn in flames Mr. Tough Guy....

Biden destroyed his campaign all on his own. He didn’t need help.

I HATE that excuse “there may be an APPEARANCE of a conflict of interest, but, trust us, there really wasn’t any conflict.” That’s always an MSM smokescreen coverup. When they utter that, you KNOW there is a deep conflict of interest and somebody is hauling in big bucks.

Bingo. I forget if it was Dershowitz or Giuliani who said it, but that’s what they call in the business “prima facie” evidence. Just knowing what we know about Burisma, Biden was taking bribes, unless he pulls some amazing new facts out of his backside to prove otherwise.
