Joe Biden is suddenly polling a little better than Hillary. I didn’t see that coming.

If that crazy {expletive} is polling better than you...that's when you know it is over. Sorry Hillary (well, not really) but it is over. You know it, I know it, Joe knows it (maybe, if he's really cognizant of anything not explicitly explained to him in grade-school terms).

But Hillary, please do stay in the race. One, while your lies are insulting in their transparency, it is somewhat entertaining and instructive to see how low you'll go. You libs never cease to amaze me on that one. Two, you are doing tremendous damage to the 'rats and liberals everywhere - exposing just how morally, legally, even reality-challenged and bankrupt you all really are. You're making Independents even faster than the GOPe. Three, if you actually make it to the election, well, it'll take a miracle and lots of (additional) illegal activity. That'll just be more sauce for your cooked goose when you are eventually perp-walked to the waiting black SUV - all on live TV and internet streamed around the world. How many people around the world are going to breath a sigh of relief when that happens? How many are going to wonder "oh s**t, what's she going to give up to try to stay out of prison?" But I digress... Please stay in the race, it is becoming almost as morbidly fascinating as a Biden press conference when the teleprompter goes out 30 seconds in and Joe has to go unscripted.

Another pundit admitting he doesn't know what will happen. Pundits and consultants are similar. They are both highly over rated. They look at polls and write strategy or articles consistent with the polls.

Neither has courage. They are over priced tea leaf readers. Both pundits and consultants hate real leaders. A leader has the strength of commitment and the power of persuasion to change the polls.

A real leader has the ability to change polls by defining him/herself in their own terms, based on passionately held believes and the ability to communicate clearly.

Free Republic posters have far better punditry and strategy advice then the so called professionals.

Joe “shotgun” Biden? Didn’t he advise home owner once to shoot through the door at suspicious visitors?
Claims he told the wife to let loose a couple of rounds into the air from the double barrel 12 gauge if she heard a suspicious noise outside.

Shortly there after a homeowner did do that and faced charges of reckless endangerment. He said he was following Slow Joe's advice.

Bear with me here as I work through this:

People prefer the unseen to the seen. Hillary’s favorables were highest in the time between when she stopped being Secretary of State and before she announced for President. At that time she was basically absent. When she was absent people began to forget the bad - a tendency everyone has (Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that).

Once she came back - and everyone was reminded of her shrillness, the duplicity, the scandals - her poll numbers dropped accordingly.

Even though Biden is the VP you rarely hear from him. He’s not on the news every night. Right now, he’s in the “Hillary’s absent” phase. Once he’s on TV all the time, and he begins messing up names, spouting one gaffe after another, everyone will remember how big of an idiot he is and his poll numbers will drop too.
