Biden Skips Trip to Kenosha

 President Trump is going to Kenosha this week to survey the scene of the rioting.  Joe Biden had said that he might be going also, but now his campaign says he will not visit the Wisconsin city.

When Trump goes to Kenosha, he will likely be met by protesters who have been rioting there for days.  Trump will not let these rioters dissuade him.  Indeed, the Secret Service and other federal presence in the city for security for the President will likely force the disruptions in Kenosha off the streets for the entire time the president is there.  The same would have been true if Biden had come to Kenosha since he now gets full Secret Service protection as a major party nominee for president.  Biden, however, couldn't chance the possibility of a demonstration by BLM or Antifa against his coming into the city.  Biden couldn't support the protesters without antagonizing the police and the huge majority of the American people.  (Latest polls put that majority at about 75%)  We Biden to support the police and condemn the violence, he would earn the enmity of the protesters and their supporters (the other 25%) who are all a big part of the Democrats' base.  So Old Joe has once again decided that he is better off in the bunker in Delaware than in taking a stand on an issue of national importance.  Once again, Biden is just a politician and not a leader.
