Jen O'Malley Dillon is 2020's Paul Manafort

Joe Biden just announced that he was switching campaign managers.  He named Jen O'Malley Dillon as the new head of the Biden 2020.  For those of you who don't remember hearing of Dillon in the past, she was already the campaign manager of another presidential campaign, that of Beto O'Rourke in 2019.

Think about that.  Biden now seems to have the Dem nomination sewn up.  He's ahead and the states coming up favor him over Sanders in a big way.  So what does Biden do?  He dumps the campaign manager who got him here.  That's fine.  Trump did the same after winning the nomination in 2016.  Trump dropped Lewandowski and replaced him with Manafort who stayed in place through the convention.  Manafort had extensive experience in handling Republican conventions for presidential campaigns while Lewandowski did not.

Still, one has to wonder why Biden would pick someone to lead his campaign who ran the O'Rourke clown show.  O'Rourke stepped into the campaign amid a blitz of highly favorable publicity.  He and his campaign managed to fritter away whatever good will had been accumulated and to move down the trail to oblivion.  Biden's new campaign manager led the way there.

What the hell is Biden thinking?
