"Campaigning is fun."

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
George Will is tired and exhausted and embarrassed, and wrong one more time. – The Washington Post’s pet fake conservative and baggage carrier for the D.C. Establishment was so utterly, completely, abjectly wrong about every aspect of the 2016 presidential contest that you might have expected him to stay completely away from trying to predict anything about the 2020 race. But if you had that expectation, you found yourself surprised on Sunday, when the purveyor of the Inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom slung some of that stuff out for the Post’s dozens of remaining subscribers about Creepy Uncle Joe Biden.
According to George Will – no doubt fresh from testing his talking points at his latest dinner party with the Beltway’s hoi poloi, all of whom listened and nodded sagely and said something like “you are so refreshingly wise, what’s in that yummy-looking croissant you’re nibbling?” – the former Vice President is “well-positioned to offer chaos-weary voters a rest.” See, George Will, a man who has spent as much time out here in Flyover Country in his adult life as Chelsea Handler has spent sober since age 14, is tired and exhausted, and he thinks the rest of you are as well. Because George Will is tired and exhausted, and all the guests at his DC dinner parties are tired and exhausted, he thinks Americans are ready to choose a president who is as tired and exhausted as they are:
“Biden, whose smile is Jack Nicholson’s without the naughtiness, is not angry. His sporadic attempts at seeming so are transparently, and engagingly, synthetic. Neither, however, are most Americans angry. Rather, they are embarrassed and exhausted. Biden has a talent for embarrassing himself, but not the nation, and he probably might seem to weary voters to be something devoutly desired: restful.”
Hilarious. Just as New York Times pet fake conservative David Brooks told that paper’s audience in 2008 that they should vote for Barack Hussein Obama – America’s Worst Mistake – because of the “crease of his pants,” George Will wants expects the Post’s audience to support Joe Biden because of his Jack Nicholson smile without the naughtiness or anger.
See, George Will, who coincidentally is 77 years old, mere months older than Biden himself, is not just tired, but he’s embarrassed, too. Because he and all of his DC dinner party friends are embarrassed by President Donald Trump, he expects all of you to also be embarrassed; therefore, you must want to elect an even more embarrassing president in 2020. And hey, who is more embarrassing than the creepy old guy who has spent the last half-century groping women and children at public events?
George Will proved in 2016 that he has his finger on the pulse of the American electorate just as surely as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez understands math, and this column is just the latest in a long line of examples proving he suffers from the elitist myopia that infests the DC establishment. This is what spending every waking – and sleeping – hour inside a liberal, globalist, big-government echo chamber will do to a guy or gal.
Certainly, millions of Americans remain utterly embarrassed that Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States. We know those people as “admitted Democrats” and “Democrats who pretend to be Republicans, i.e., Never Trumpers.”
The rest of the people are the people we know as “normal Americans.” These are the vast majority of people in this country, none of whom are embarrassed at all about record low unemployment for Hispanics, African Americans and women, paying lower taxes, 3.2% economic growth and being at relative peace in the world compared to the 28 years that came before 2017.
These are the people who have normalized Trump’s often-erratic behavior internally, the people who see headlines about the latest sort-of-nutty thing the President said or tweeted and think “hey, that beats headlines about hundreds of U.S. soldiers coming back from the Middle East in body bags or congress having to extend unemployment benefits for the 27th time or a president going on his 4th or 5th global apology tour.”
But George Will doesn’t know these people – these people, who live in the vast, overwhelmingly “red” middle of our nation, never get invited to DC dinner parties, you see. George Will regularly chats with Morning Joe and Mika, not Joe and Jane Blow from Ypsilanti, and Morning Joe and Mika are tired and exhausted just like George Will.
By coincidence, the latest ABC/Washington Post poll, released over the weekend, has Biden leading the Democrat field with just 17% support. And that’s among purely Democrat voters. How 17% of Democrats is going to translate into 51% of all Americans, George Will doesn’t try to explain, other than to point to that “Jack Nicholson smile” that all of you tired and exhausted and embarrassed people out there in Flyover Country are going to settle for.
Somehow, “Vote for Joe Biden Because He’s Tired and Exhausted and Embarrassing” doesn’t strike me as a winning campaign slogan.
That is all.

George Will is bringing down a dishonorable curtain to his long dishonorable career.
He is and always has been a cocktail-party intellectual, begging for scraps of attention and approval from the masters that run the only America he has ever known: Washington DC.
I can’t even stand to look at George Will.
Trump’s re-election is going to put quit a few over the edge.
Strike! You’re out, George! Take your glove and go home.
GFJ ... GROPERS FOR JOE!
Joe can Grope It.. Yes He Can!.
lI am officially aunching his new Grope & Vote campaign.
Grope the Vote! Sniff the Vote! Creep the Vote!
Lining up liberal womin who have never been groped - the ‘un-grope-ables’
These are the ones who wanna be groped for Joe!
This could be an awesome and so true SNL skit.
I thought it was either “Grope and Change” or “Grope and Chains”.
I have never wanted a President that is just like me.
The blind support for Biden means that the Democrat Party leaders accept the CRIMINALITY, lack of TRANSPARENCY and MISREPRESENTATIONS of Obama, his administration and the media.
Trump is right to observe that Creepy Joe don’t look so good.
Good post.
It’s ironic that the neverTrumpers see his Presidency as chaotic and exhausting. I find the opposite; the prevailing winds of common sense, pragmatism, and “tell it like it is” honesty are quite relaxing.
The fact that President Trump will keep his campaign promises actually makes him quite predictable and steady-handed.
The fact that he does not abide fools and does not let anyone knock him around offers a sense of smooth sailing I haven’t felt since Ronald Reagan was at the helm.
So, feeling exhausted and chaotic must be a Leftist thing - I don’t feel that way at all.
"Campaigning is fun."
Grope-A-Dope.
Gropin' Dope
“I have never wanted a President that is just like me. “
Ditto. Trump is so far from me on the personality spectrum, and that’s why he appeals to me. He can do what I cannot do and keep on truckin’.
WOW! I didn't know gropey, creepy joe has been to jail more than half a dozen times, {just like me}.
Of course, in my case, it was either mistaken identity, police persecution or purely political, and it was never my fault {ax my lawyers, they would never lie}.
It's not good to joke about being in jail, except in my case, I'm too old to care, and I've paid for my misdeeds, and anything that could have been misconstrued to have been a felony, has long since been expunged, so there was no crime, it never happened...really:)
What a system, expungement is a process, where if you have enough money and/or juice you can pay to have a deed declared to never have legally happened.
Hey man, I just pay, if you want details talk to my lawyer{s}. Nice country, America.
George Will has always been a mouthpiece for Bush League Republicans and the Cheap Labor Express.
The goal is turning the USA into North Mexico, providing their “friends” across the aisle with a permanent majority and subsuming the USA to the UN.
So, feeling exhausted and chaotic must be a Leftist thing - I don’t feel that way at all.

Amen
Is he still alive? Who knew.
