The Democratic Party's savior has arrived. White-haired, wizened-faced, cleft-chinned, liver-spotted Joe Biden, the shriveled and pale second banana to Barack Obama, has entered the presidential race to all the dry acclaim Morning Joe viewers can muster.
If you close your eyes and focus your imagination, you can almost picture Biden walking out on stage at a ritzy fundraiser to muted applause while an invisible announcer bellows, "Here's Joe!" Cue cheap crockery scratching against bone-china plates freighted with rubber chicken.
Even at this late stage, with every Democrat from the senior senator of Minnesota to the mayor of Miramar, Florida vying for the Resolute throne, Biden's entry is far from desperate. He's polling better than other liberal hopefuls. By virtue of his previous purple post, he has the one benefit that matters in a crowded field: name recognition.
Will it all be enough, though? Early frontrunner status doesn't guarantee success in primaries. Heck, being an experienced politician with considerable cachet no longer affords the kind of presumptive protection it once did against eager upstarts.
And, as always with stroppy progressives, there's the woke factor.
In the year 2019, it's been argued elsewhere that Biden is overestimating his odds with a political party that's left his generation behind. Bernie Sanders notwithstanding, an old, white, straight guy doesn't check off the diversity boxes Democrats love to tout. It's quite the opposite: Biden is symbolic of everything the Democrats claim to detest. He's a privileged manikin the far-left flank of the party would love to fetter, drop on a trebuchet, and toss back to the atavistic Republican barbarians.

I hope he does. There’s no way he unites the young socialists behind him.
He’s an even sadder insider candidate than Hillary Clinton. The Washington DC establishment and deep state will really have to go all out with propoganda, phony headlines and hate to drag his ass across the finish line.
I agree with you. He will alienate many of the young socialists and drive them away. It will be big time division in the putrid party.
Good chance the RATS will get their nominee at a brokered convention. Let’s hope the RATS eat their own.

Biden is Wrong: America is a Reality, Not an Idea
FrontPage Magazine ^ | 4/26/19 | Daniel Greenfield
“America is an idea,” Joe Biden gravely intoned, as he threw the 21st hat onto the overcrowded hat rack of the Democrat primaries already groaning under the weight of all the trilbys, clown caps and hijabs.
Biden is a compulsive plagiarist and the idea that America is an idea, like his hair, isn’t his own.
It’s also wrong.

Trump will rename him, Gropen Joe.....lol
Read my lips....Democrat, Joe Biden will last an a viable POTUIS candidate for about four weeks and then he will self-inflict his moronic lifetime career type gaffes, which will then end up making him Burnt Toast...Forever!!!
And...Poor Uncle Joe Biden, his soul brother or, at least, Uncle Joe Biden thought so, Barack Hussein Obama, has coldly, boldly left him standing out in the crowd, all alone to suffer failure whichever way it comes
Shucks, Obama has bigger things to pay attention to, his legacy, there is none, and Obama being fitting for an upcoming “Orange Felon Jail Suit”!!!
> The Washington DC establishment and deep state will really have to go all out with propaganda... <
That was my first thought as well. But I think that a re-manufactured and protected Biden would be a formidable candidate. He does appeal to older Blue Collar folks in the Rust Belt. And those are the guys who put Trump over the top.
No.
Money laundering.
The bribes are “campaign donations”.
Nope. Joe Biden won’t be the guy. Michelle Obama will swoop in after most of the Democratic circular firing squad is over and grab the nomination.
Pull it out of where?
Joe’s just there to clear the way for Moochelle. As soon as he’s done that the press will suddenly discover his Ukrainian collusion.
The other 20 Dem candidates have not yet realized it but the primary is over and Biden will be their candidate. They might as well drop out now and save their donors a lot of wasted money that can be redirected to Biden. The decision has been made by the super delegates who pulled this same trick on Bernie supporters last time around. “It not about you, sweetie, its about the Party”.
> There’s no way he unites the young socialists behind him. <
How about this? Biden picks someone black, female or socialist (pick any two) as his running mate. Then Biden promises not to run for reelection.
The rabid socialist #NeverBiden (maybe soo to be #NoToJoe or something catchy) kids are going to be so much more entertaining to watch than the whiny rentseeking #nevertrump crew.
Nevertrump is trying to keep hold of something they thought they always had and were entitled to (control of the Republican party and the polite legacy of gentlemen politicians). NeverBiden believes it’s entitled to the same control of the Democrat party, but it never had a stake in it to begin with, and it never cared about courtesy or waiting in line.so it won’t care what it wrecks or burns down as it finds out where it really stands.
Sucking everyone’s a## will do it
