WASHINGTON - - While Super Tuesday left Democrats with a pair of front-runners President Donald Trump believes he can define and defeat, there are still some private worries in the White House.
There is concern that the Democrats’ messy nomination contest may end up producing an emboldened version of the very man who once worried Trump so much as a foe that it led to the president’s impeachment.
That would be Joe Biden.
Trump and his team have spent the last year trying to lump the Democratic contenders together as left-wing radicals. Biden’s working-class appeal and more pragmatic policy approach aren’t a ready fit with that GOP framing. Trump allies have pointed to Biden’s embrace of liberal positions on gun control, but he steered clear of the more extreme positions of his rivals on health care.
Trump cheered the collapse of Bloomberg, who sank more than $500 million of his own money into his campaign yet performed woefully the first day on the ballot.
But some in Trump’s orbit questioned the bullishness with which the campaign professed to view Biden, believing the former vice president’s universal name ID and likability would make it more difficult to brand him as a socialist. Biden has proved resilient - his resurgence was rivaled by few in modern campaign history - and has consolidated moderate support while showcasing his strength among African American voters, a segment of the electorate the president’s campaign hopes to win over.
“This looks very much like Biden’s race to lose at this point,” said Chris Wilson, a GOP consultant. “He’s clearly strong not just with African Americans, but also with white Democrats outside of the socialist left. The field on the establishment/progressive side of the ballot has cleared for him to run head-to-head with Bernie in the remaining states.”

When the Dover Dimwit starts talking he will be like Hillary Clinton: The more people see him the less likely they will be to vote for him. “Trump is afraid” of Biteme is the shield the criminal Democrats hope to use to save them from exposure. If they were running against Yeb Bush that would work. Yeb would be afraid to press an investigation of Biteme or even mention his dementia. Trump will maul Biteme and enjoy every minute of it.
The only worry remaining is that the RAT vote fraud machine may be wildly successful, since little has been done to out it and prevent its implementation.
The key is to stop Biden from moving to the center, keep him beholden to the Left of the party.
Uh, no they don't, but nice try, media concern trolls.
Exactly. And the aid wasn’t contingent on it anyway, so there was really no there there. As usual.
Yeah, right...s/
Lol, I like that one. I also like 'Uncle Touchy' and 'Bidet'.
Of course they will. At this point it's so baked into their DNA they'd do it even if they truly had it won. That's why after 2016 I felt like election integrity needed to be top priority for this admin, even ahead of the wall, Ebolacare repeal, everything. If you don't fix that, nothing else you do will matter. Hopefully they're doing something to prevent it.
This is hilarious, unintended but hilarious nevertheless.
