Biden …….. the empty riddler

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Some of these Democrats just missed their moments. Others never had a moment, and never will. – I’ve already talked about my belief that Irish Bob O’Rourke missed his moment by dithering around for four months before announcing his candidacy, but let’s talk about two other Democrats who missed their moments by not running in 2016 against the Pantsuit Princess: Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker.
Had she run in the 2016 Democrat primaries, Senator Little Mouth Always Running might have been able to leverage herself in between The Commie and the Fainting Felon as the compromise candidate for the party’s voters. True, it would have been extremely hard overcoming the pernicious influence of the Clinton Machine, which conspired with the DNC to rig the nominating process, but having a third “legitimate” candidate in the race might have made that rigging harder to achieve.
Warren’s false claims of Native American heritage – which she undeniably used to secure a plum spot on the faculty at Harvard – had been revealed long before 2016 and would have become an issue in the nominating process, no question. But by sitting out that race, Warren has given President Donald Trump another two solid years to pound her fraudulent reality as a human being into the public consciousness.
Two years ago, the conventional wisdom was that Warren would immediately become the odd-on favorite to win the 2020 nomination as soon as she announced she was running. Instead, she has foundered along in single-digits in the preference polls, and most likely will never move any higher because even Democrat voters now consider her to be a walking, always talking ethnic joke.
We’ve seen a similar thing happen to Senator Spartacus from New Jersey. He has long aspired to be seen as the next Barack Obama, and had he done the bold thing that Obama did in 2008 and jumped into the 2016 nominating process despite an incredibly thin record of public service, he might well have been able to legitimately pick up that mantle and seriously challenge the Coughing Crook for the nomination.
Maybe he would have caught fire then like Obama did or maybe he wouldn’t have, but by sitting that one out and waiting another four years, he, like Fauxcahontas, ended up just giving himself another four years to become a walking joke with a self-inflicted nickname. Booker’s problem isn’t that people just don’t know who he really is, like one idiot talking head said the other day, it’s the fact that people hear his name and snicker. He’s done, and might as well go home.
Joe Biden never had a moment and never will. Yes, he’s leading the Democrat polls right now, but let’s all remember that at this point in 2015, Jeb! was strongly leading the GOP polls, and he ended up throwing more than $150 million down a rat hole without winning a single primary or caucus before unceremoniously ending his campaign. The same thing is going to happen to Biden.
This is Biden’s third run at the nomination, and he has three major problems: He’s simply an unattractive candidate, he is a pasty-white man, and he is too damn old to hold the office. I’m sorry – I have nothing against elderly Americans and aspire to become one myself fairly soon – but the office of the presidency is incredibly demanding and Joe Biden is an elderly man. These realities will become more and more apparent to the increasingly-leftist, social-justice-warrior-oriented Democrat voter base in the coming months.
Then there’s New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand – what in the hell is she even doing in this race? That’s the key question she must answer, and she simply has no means of answering it. In a race that already includes liberal senators like Kamala Harris, Spartacus, Fauxcahontas and Amy Klobuchar, why should Democrat voters pick Gillibrand out of that lineup? Gillibrand is currently polling at either 0% or 1%, depending on which poll you look at, and she most likely will never rise more than a point or two above that before getting out of the race.
Meanwhile, she’s humiliating herself with tweets like this one:

Kirsten Gillibrand ✔ @SenGillibrand Good to be back in Iowa. Do you like my new workout shirt?
8,517 10:33 AM - Mar 20, 2019 4,117 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy My goodness. The scent of desperation literally wafts up from the computer screen.
I’ll have a second post later today detailing the real rising dark horses in this campaign, and their names will definitely surprise you.
That is all.

It’s the parade of fools...I predict the bathroom predator will be one of the first to drop out.
In Iowa the workout shirt is flannel..,
Good. You already saw this.
Blackmon is a strong writer with strong opinions and regularly drags up excellent “new” information from the Swamp, but will never have that “suave and debonair insider” style that George Will paints on every morning.
Then again, perhaps simply BECAUSE he does not paint on that “style” every morning, he permits himself to find those messy facts that the Swamp needs to hide.
I predict Heels Harris drips out in 8 weeks or even less. Now that dirt eating Bobby Kennedy O Rourke has entered the fray to secure the genderless, identity politics, skateboarder vote - there’s no reason for the hyperventilating, nostrils flaring, expanding abdominal and menopausal California resting bitchface to keep hanging around hating on white men
The question is, which candidate is likely to win the most votes in the Democratic primaries?
Why not Julian Castro? He’s an Hispanic American, and so are millions of Democratic voters in the delegate-rich states of California, New York, Texas, and Florida.
He’s intelligent and experienced — a graduate of Harvard and Stanford and former Director of Housing and Urban Development.
And he’s young — the perfect antidote to the two old white male codgers, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, whom Democrats will soon tire of and be ready to send to the glue factory.
The more votes he receives, the more the Democrats’ usual group-identity politics will take over, and it will be Hispanics vs. Blacks vs. women, etc. Which means that the losing groups’ supporters will be angry and inclined to stay home for the general election.
Which will help not only Donald Trump but also many Republican Senators and Congresspeople win their elections.
The rumor this morning is that Biden is thinking of running with the fat Black woman who lost her race for governor of GA last year as his VP. So it appears President Trump will be blessed to run against a bunch of losers next year. It should be fun.
Mike Siegel (conservative radio host) says if moooochelle gets in the race she’ll win.
That’s pleasingly plump or big boned please.
We don’t know who the Dem nominee will be. Someone, sooner or later, is going to give an “electrifying” speech to a bunch of howling Donks ala Bozo ala Mario the Pious and it’ll be on...
I think Julian Castro is the one that will float to the top even though he is as radical as they come.
I saw about 15 seconds of Warren bloviating on a stage ... her voice drives me crazy for one, but I also imagine the strong smell of mothballs whenever I see her. She reminds me of an elderly aunt (now deceased, God bless her), who showed up for church every Sunday in her ‘best dress’ from which wafted the smell of mothballs, like an insidious perfume. Something about Warren reminds me of the aunt & her dress. She’s an old(er), screechy, preachy, lying white lady .... & definitely not as honest or nice as my aunt. I don’t see her having ANY appeal to anyone of color or under 50-60 years old, especially when there is another Socialist like the young AOC out there. It doesn’t matter AOC is too young to run for Prez, she still provides a contrast of young/’hip’ vs old/screechy/smells of moth balls.
I think Julian Castro is the one that will float to the top even though he is as radical as they come.
Castro is in over his head and won’t be a factor. I’ll be shocked if he’s still in the field on Jan.1, 2020.
“It’s the parade of fools...I predict the bathroom predator will be one of the first to drop out.”
My bet is on Gabbard.
A desperate Rat constituency will turn to the only answer - Hellary!
In case they have forgotten someone will issue the “cheat sheets” with the necessary encouragement so they will have the answer.
Nice flare with words!
Biden …….. the empty riddler
Ah yes, the happy warrior! </sarcasm>
If your self-worth depends on being a victim, you cannot allow yourself to be happy. And your unhappiness makes you dangerous; no one can think that a suicide bomber is happy. Or that a happy person can be a suicide bomber.IMHO BHO has proved to the populace’s satisfaction that being angry is no qualification for the White House.Dennis Prager makes the point that “Happiness is a moral virtue.” And that feeling follows action - you will feel happy if you act happy, even if acting happy is the last thing you feel like doing at the time.
The five-minute Cliff Notes version is found at Prager University.
If you have time for the 52 minute version, I recommend it in preference.
Hasn’t she toured the world lavishly on the taxpayer dime enough yet?
