Now look, I fully realize that your average Democrat
is far from being the sharpest knife in any drawer, but I ask you, just how
demented must one have to be in order to think that it is in any way a good
idea that ‘Slow Joe’ Biden would make a good president. Or for that matter, even a better president
than our current disaster in the White House?
But, believe it or not such is the case as it now appears that there is
a movement afoot to draft Biden to run for president. And it seems to be, if we can believe what
we’re hearing, picking up a certain amount of steam. A group advertising itself as "former
staffers and campaign veterans" launched Draft Biden on Thursday night,
along with a website RunBidenRun.com, to organize volunteers and a petition
urging ‘Slow Joe’ to jump into the 2016 race.
And apparently some 3,900 signatures had been collected by Friday
afternoon.
"Voters are tired of dynasties in American
politics, and certainly want an election instead of a coronation," said Will
Pierce, organizing director of Draft Joe Biden, in talking with The New York
Times. Pierce also said, "The House
of Bush and the House of Clinton have had their run, and looking toward the
future, Vice President Joe Biden is uniquely suited to tackle the issues
America will face over the next decade."
Pierce also pushed back at the notion of a weak Democratic bench for
2016, telling the Washington Times, "We just need to get the best people
into the race, and one of the very best is Vice President Biden." Now no offense here to Mr. Pierce, but I think
he’s letting his imagination run a bit wild.
For one thing, I think most of us would agree that there is more than
enough footage out there of Biden gaffs to make campaign ads that would rival
some of the most hilarious ‘Super Bowl’ ads.
The draft effort and website come as Hitlery faces
scrutiny over her use of a personal email server during her stint as secretary
of state and the possibility that liberal Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth
Warren could be persuaded to launch a bid. But it might be a pretty significant
uphill battle for ‘Slow Joe’ because despite Hitlery’s continuing email
problems, she's maintaining her standing as the front-runner going into the
2016 presidential election. A recent
CNN/ORC poll, no doubt a highly dubious source, has shown her with 62 percent
of voters saying they're likely to support her in the 2016 Democratic
primaries; Biden is her closest competitor with a mere 15 percent support. Now that’s not to say, I suppose, that should
Hitlery’s perceived problems take a serious turn for the worse that ‘Slow Joe’ couldn’t
then experience an uptick in support.
Because, really, who else do Democrats have?
Though avoiding a direct blast at the Hitlery email
scandal, Pierce told the Washington Times, "People know exactly who Joe
Biden is." He said, "They know
where he stands, they know what he thinks. And if you’re not sure, just wait
and he’ll tell you exactly how he feels."
He then went on to say, "That kind of honesty is missing from our
politics, and we think that’s something that American voters will
appreciate." A spokesman for Draft
Biden told The New York Times that there were about a dozen volunteers so far,
and that the group would target key primary states in early summer. But that’s just it, people DO know exactly
who ‘Slow Joe’ is, such is the reason that no one but hardcore socialist
Democrats would ever actually vote for him.
And personally, I don’t see enough American voters coming to
“appreciate”, what Mr. Pierce referred to as being, ‘Slow Joe’s’ brand of
honesty.
Look, I know the Democrats are desperate in their
attempt to keep headed in the directed of socialism that Barry has worked very
hard, and been quite successful, in turning America toward. But can anyone seriously imagine ‘Slow Joe’
Biden as president? What positive
changes can anyone identify as having taken place during Barry’s tenure in the
Oval Office? Because the fact is that
today we have millions more on food stamps and millions more unemployed than we
had before Barry’s first day in office.
And today we over 100 million Americans receiving some form of
government benefit - not including Social Security, Medicare or unemployment - and we are trillions of dollars further in
debt than before Barry set out on his mission to “fundamentally transform”
American. And it’s not just here at home
that things have proceeded to get so much worse. Not by any means.
The foreign policy of this nation under Barry, first
under what we’re now finding out was the pay to play style of Hitlery Clinton
and now currently with the rather unique ineptness of John Kerry-Heinz, has
been an unmitigated disaster. Because
today, no matter where you look all across the vast expanse of planet Earth
will you see a bright spot, unless it is something that has been set on
fire. You would think that if we have
learned anything over the course of the last 6 years, it’s that when America
withdraws from the world, bad things tend to happen, very bad things. But have enough of us learned? I suppose that might be a question that needs
to be asked. And frankly, I’m not sure
of the answer. I have no doubt that
Neville Chamberlain is looking down, or up as the case may be, at Barry’s handy
work and is smiling quite broadly. The
world is, as Ted Cruz recently described it, on fire.
