Progressive commentator: Biden relies on 'illusion' he is best candidate to beat Trump https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/4...mpaign-rests-on-illusion-he-is-best-candidate "Progressive commentator" usually equals blogger or something, so take it for what it is worth. Nevertheless, the overarching argument here is still valid, ie. Joe leads because he is considered to be the one to take Trump down. Problem is, Iowa and New Hamshire are upon us, just a month plus a few days away and Joe is only doing very mediocre or poorly there. Two, piddling and quirky states when it comes to electoral votes. Nevertheless, everyone knows you lose some of your luster if you do not do well there. It might not be fatal but you lose some points and your ability to walk on water. I have never said that Joe would collapse totally in the early phases- unless he has a health event- only that the top ten points or more that he has are undeserved and very, very frothy and that he will fall down to the middle of the pack rather than the presumed nominee. To me, the next significant thing to watch for is whether Joe loses those top ten frothy points after Iowa and NH. If so, it is going to be a very long slog. And then the next thing to watch for from there.......is very, very far down the very bloody road..and that is to watch to see how Bernie's votes are distributed at convention time, especially if Bernie continues to look like he is going to do very well in California on Super Tuesday. If Joe loses his top frothy points and falls to the middle of the pack and then he has to hunt like a dog for Bernie's votes, well, Joe don't hunt. Pokey's challenge is to last long enough to be in line for some of Bernie's votes. Easier said than done, but she knows how to hunt so if she can make it that far, he will take some. And yes, Nevada this and South Carolina that for Joe. yaddy di, yaddy dah. Just sayin, the next big thing I watch for is how many points he will lose for being mediocre in Iowa and New Hampshire. If he does better than that then I will have to put points up on the board for him. I will do it when it happens though. Otherwise, a flaccid showing there will take him down into just being just one of the top three or so. Which takes away his aura as "the only one who can beat trump" and from there he will need to work harder. Joe doesnt like to work harder. His dollars will probably be looking better for this quarter, which means that for another ten or twenty million he is now getting another ten or twenty people at his rallies. Rubber gonna meet the road at some point. Campaign begins for real next week. No more campaigning on "I hate Trump more than other candidates so vote for me." Nope, that's early campaign days stuff. You gotta take one of your opponents down now to get ahead, and you have to do it through direct confrontation, not just by looking better. Gonna get bloody from here on out and that is a beautiful thing. And of course, Pelosi is out there campaigning full-time for Trump now I guess and that is beautiful too. Send her a check.
Heh, if Joe had read my post above he would have known that he would be walking that little gaffe back before long. And here it is, right on schedule. You are welcome Joe, next time, listen up. I am lookin out for you. Idiot. Biden backtracks after bragging he wouldn't comply with impeachment subpoena https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...ldnt-comply-with-impeachment-related-subpoena
The dem candidates seem to have deluded themselves into thinking if they just ignore Joe's corruption, it will never come up in the general election. I have a lot of problems with the republicans, but one thing you have to give them is they know how to run attack ads. The attack ads on Joe pretty much write themselves. Whether it is his bragging about holding up aid for Ukraine, or taking his boy Hunter to China on Air Force 2, or Joe's long and steadfast service to the credit card industry while Hunter had a cush job at MBNA, etc etc, they are coming and they will make an impact on the sort of working class voters Joe thinks he owns.
Hunter Biden: A man about town. A real family man- with his first wife, with his brother's wife, with the stripper, with this month's wife. Yup. The country needs to meet this guy and learn more about him. Give him the full Trump treatment.
