Another Funny Take

Dan Balz writes in the WaPo about the resilience of Joe Biden.  He has survived in the Democrat race despite oodles of criticism launched towards him.

There's only one possible response to this argument:  hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this point, Biden is seen by many as a befuddled old man who can't remember what state he is in.  Biden is also a guy who used American power to enrich his son in Ukraine, China and elsewhere.  Biden is also the guy who is "off" -- a guy who likes to smell women's hair, bite their fingers, and hold them in inappropriate ways.  Biden is also a guy with no stamina, a guy who can't stand up to the requirements of the campaign.  And lastly, Biden is the guy who despite all his years with Obama has been unable to secure the endorsement of that former president.

Biden is still in the race because all the other serious candidates have been collapsing.  Warren came forward with a series of plans that would destroy the US economy and healthcare system.  When challenged on these plans, Warren pretty much said "nevermind" and announced that she really meant that they would only be used long into the future.  Her support fell by 50% in just weeks.  Bernie Sanders had a heart attack which made clear how old and fragile Bernie really is.  He lost support and then slowly got some back.  Still, there are millions of people who won't vote for Bernie because they don't think he can last until election day.  Pete Buttigieg started slowly and then shot up when all the others fell apart.  Even so, as more attention has been paid to Mayor Pete, his numbers have tanked in the polls.  Other candidates just did so poorly that they dropped out.  Think of Kamala Harris who hit 15% after the first debate when she went after Biden but who then dropped like a stone as people got to know her better.  She's gone.

Right now, Biden's campaign is still alive.  That's not resilience, though.  Biden still have no answer to why he stepped in to protect his son Hunter in Ukraine.  This has been topic number one for two months and Biden has NO ANSWER!  Look, Biden could actually become the nominee given the competition.  He will never win the election, however.  It may be possible for Democrats to pick him given the choices, but the American voters will never pick him over Trump.  Remember, Biden kills the only election issue that the Dems have.  Without a doubt, the Democrats will run and election campaign based upon the fact that Donald Trump was impeached for what he supposedly did in Ukraine.  There's a big problem there, though.  There's a big dispute if Trump actually did anything wrong in Ukraine.  Biden, however, is on video tape proudly telling people how he did exactly what Trump is falsely accused of doing.  There goes that issue!
