Tomorrow there will be another bunch of primaries for the Democrats. If the latest polls are to be believed, it will be a blow out night for Biden and a death knell for Sanders. The key, of course, is whether the polls will actually be correct.
I know that the Dems have "coalesced" around Biden. The establishment of the Dem party seems to have managed to stop Sanders. The question that still puzzles me is the quite simple one-word one: Why? Do the Dems really think that Biden can win? Do they really want a guy who is obviously down the road to senility to be our president? Is it so important to the establishment to keep control of the Democrats that they are willing to risk inflicting Biden on the USA?
I truly do not understand this. They could have gotten behind Bloomberg and had an uninteresting billionaire, but someone who arguably could handle the presidency. They could have chosen Pete Buttigieg and gotten someone who could speak well, whether or not he had any competence. With Biden, you get neither. They could have backed Amy Klobuchar who also is well spoken and might make a feasible president. So why choose the one guy who can't speak for six minutes without screwing up?
Americans are not dumb. They recognize that Biden does things that no normal presidential candidate would do. He confuses his wife and his sister. He can't remember that the election is Super Tuesday rather than Super Thursday. He can't remember that he is running for president rather than the Senate. He can't remember what state he is in. He can't even remember the most well known words of the Declaration of Independence when they are written on a teleprompter right in front of him. That ignores things like his inability to keep straight whether or not China is a competitor of the USA. And that also ignores the other problems Biden presents like a family that seems second only to the Clintons in wholesale corruption. Why are the Dems backing Biden?
There is still a long time until the election. President Trump still has to navigate the ship of state through this coronavirus mess. Right now, at what is likely the height of the panic over the disease, Trump could stumble and damage his support across the country. Many other things could happen between now and November that could alter the outcome. Still, the best thing that Trump will have going for himself is that he isn't Biden. No rational person could actually select Biden to be president.
So, someone has to tell me why the Dems have chosen Biden.
