OK, I think I get it now.
By exposing this story at the last moment, ABC and Daily Mail are tell their readers: poor Joe Biden and Democrats. They were rushing to the election finish 8 points ahead...
But darn it! Even though Joe Biden honestly knew nothing about what Hunter Biden was doing, the electorate got spooked and gave President Trump a landslide in the Electoral College.
Those are the unlucky breaks of politics. Honest Joe was taken down by his crack-addicted son. Sad... and he was doing so great in the polls! He was kicking Trump’s butt all over the country before then.
Like a good father, he tried to protect his "surviving son" from the muddy waters of politics.
Biden was kicking Trump’s butt all over the country....he was doing so great in the polls! ......and this is what he gets.
Shame.
Such a scenario would be on top of d’rats menu, pushing their ‘feelings’ to the edge. The pity vote. This poor man has experienced so much grief to NOT vote for him would be akin to a punch to the gut or a knife in the back.
Suggest we instead send him an inflatable party doll, bottle of shampoo, and a few crying towels.
