Joe Biden is everything a Democratic political consultant should love: He’s experienced, well-liked, and his poll numbers look great against Donald Trump.

And yet many party strategists have a bleak assessment of his potential 2020 campaign: It’s a bad, bad idea. […]

McClatchy interviewed 31 Democratic strategists — pollsters, opposition research experts, media consultants, ex-party officials, and communications specialists — from across the country about a potential Biden campaign. Nine agreed to speak on the record; all others quoted anonymously do not plan to be affiliated with any candidate running in the presidential primary.

Strikingly, these conversations yielded a similar view: The Democratic political community is more broadly and deeply pessimistic about Biden’s potential candidacy than is commonly known. While these strategists said they respect Biden, they cited significant disadvantages for his campaign — from the increasingly liberal and non-white Democratic electorate to policy baggage from his years in the Senate and a field of rivals that includes new, fresh-faced candidates. …

And that’s why the establishment is doing EVERYTHING they can to destroy him. The biggest disappointment in the past two years is the inability to bring any of the vast cabal to justice. At least a lot of them have left the government, but they are probably influencing things behind the scenes.

He’s certainly dumber, we know that. But then, he’s also dumber than a doorknob, so that says nothing about the mental weaponry of the “smartest woman in the world.”

I recall early in 2008 someone telling me there was NO WAY a person with the name "Barack Hussein Obama" would be elected President of the United States. And I believed him.

Seems crazy doesn't it? Particularly given that his opponent was John McCain, who was widely hated, loathed and despised. Even by those of us who voted for him.
