Can the Democrats Sell Their Worst Candidate Ever?
American Thinker.com ^ | October 16, 2020 | Jack Cashill

Even before anyone ever heard of Hunter Biden’s laptop, Democrats were facing a marketing challenge unknown in the era of moving images: selling a candidate that no one -- with the possible exception of Jill “Edith Wilson” Biden -- could possibly be enthused about.

By any standard, especially by progressive Democratic standards, Joe Biden is a flaming mess. No Democrat of any age will have ever pulled the lever for a less attractive candidate. Compared to Joe, Hillary Clinton was JFK. Hillary actually had fans.

Democratic leaders and their increasingly Pravda-like media allies know what a mess Biden is. In 2019, before he emerged as the candidate, they openly shared their misgivings. In early June 2019, for instance, both the New York Times and the Washington Post produced video hit pieces highlighting Biden’s problematic history. These pieces were triggered, wrote the Post, by the fact that the Biden campaign “lifted language without credit, at times word for word, when crafting its education and climate plans.”

The Post video dealt largely with Biden’s plagiarism issues dating back to his first presidential run in 1987. Although the tone of the narration is not as harsh as it should be, the revelations are damning. Biden’s plagiarism comes across like a cry for help. It is hard to decide which was more pathetic: lifting the speeches and hardscrabble life details of Welsh Labour Party’s Neil Kinnock or swiping virtually word-for-word JFK’s memorable 1961 inaugural address.

The Demonicrats have pawned off traitors before. Pawning off a senile traitor and head of a major crime family—along with an adulterous slut as VP— should be a simple task for the Demonicrats....

.... if it wasn’t for the fact that the opposition is President Donald Trump.

They don't have to sell anything. The sheeple will fall in line as they always do.

There is a steady, but inexorable decline in the quality of Democrat presidential candidates since Carter.

It went from Carter to Mondale to Dukakis to Bill Clinton to Gore to Kerry to Obama to Hillary to Biden. Each one worse than the previous. Just when you thought they couldn't do worse than Obama, they pick Hillary. Then you think, well THAT has to be rock bottom, then come up with Biden. It's uncanny.

When Obama selected Biden as his vice president, someone called him “assassination insurance.”

Democrat voters don’t vote FOR the candidate.

Democrat voters vote for an idea.

“The Democrat candidate will give me money I didn’t have to work for.”

Candidates.

That’s plural because since Biden is unlikely to finish out the first year of his term, people are actually voting for two presidents if they vote dem.

And Harris.

Can't get much lower than Harris, although the antichrist might be.

You nailed it. Democrat voters are spoils system people. Crime, character, anti-americanism none of it matters. They just want their cut of the booty.

Yep. And now we can all see why....LOL. Obama is a fraud, but he wasn’t totally stupid.

I would love to see trucks going up and down ghetto streets with microphones (like the good old days) and a big sign saying "Vote for me or YOU AIN'T BLACK!"

That's pretty insulting.

could even play Joe's own voice over a loudspeaker.

Ya. Because Biden’s base ignores the N.Y. Post.

"As this eight-minute video shows, Biden’s public fondling of little girls goes well beyond “creepy” into the realm of the perverse. Were he a priest he would be in prison."

Biden was clearly reading every response he gave last night—and his handlers are getting away with it. Not sure if they had teleprompters off camera or he was using contact lens teleprompters, but Joe wasn’t forming an original response all evening.
