“Remember, Establishment Democrats put forward Uncle Joe because he was the “safe” candidate, bound to defeat Trump. Oops.” (The Hill)Establishment Democrats didn’t put forward Uncle Joe because he was the “safe” candidate bound to defeat Trump. Uncle Joe was sent to keep the presidential seat warm for Hillary. Whoever is choses as his vice president, whether it’s Hillary, Michelle or even Jill Biden, is destined to be the “real” president.
“That’s not the only problem that crops up in the Emerson Poll. It also shows Trump supporters 19 points more enthusiastic about their candidate than Biden supporters. (The Hill) “That “enthusiasm gap” will drive turnout this fall. With Democrats dependent on young people and minorities, both typically less reliable voters, that lack of excitement for the candidate could be a big problem.”It should come as no surprise that the poll shows Trump supporters “19 points more enthusiastic” about their candidate than Biden supporters.
“Also less than gung-ho about Biden is, predictably, Bernie Sanders’s army. Though the Vermont socialist has endorsed Biden, 51 percent of Bernie supporters are, according to Emerson, open to voting for a third-party candidate. (The Hill)Good luck with that.
“Another red flag is Biden’s tepid fund-raising; according to the New York Times, Trump has a monster cash advantage of $187 million. Further, in swing-state polling, the presumptive Democratic nominee is running behind where Hillary Clinton stood at this point in the race, and we know how that turned out.” (The Hill) “As all of those issues cast doubt on Biden’s prospects, the presumptive nominee must now fend off Tara Reade’s allegations, which put #MeToo-supporting Democrats into an incredibly awkward spot.”
“None of this augurs well for the Biden campaign, which will likely confront further obstacles in the months ahead. Eventually, the coronavirus will no longer excuse the former VP’s invisibility; he will have to engage in the kind of give-and-take that often shows him getting befuddled, including real – not scripted – town halls and interviews. (The Hill)Missing from that strategy is that the Democrats will keep the coronavirus scare up and running straight through Election day, enabling them to maintain the former VP’s “invisibility” while they prepare for a total vote-by-mail election. Proof of that comes from Obama stalwart Susan Rice: Rice: Pandemic an ‘Opportunity’ to Make Sure Every American Has ‘Access’ to the Ballot by Mail (Breitbart) Pray, brothers and sisters, pray that the vulture called Hillary Clinton doesn’t land kerplunk into the 2020 presidential election race. Enough already!
