Joe Biden’s staff started his doomed presidential campaign off right by keeping him at home. With no public appearances that meant no gaffes and it worked well, shooting him to the top of the polls. Recently however, Biden has been out there saying insanely stupid things and his numbers are dropping. Now his people are think they may want to put him back in hiding to keep him from making a complete ass out of himself. Hey, go with what works.
This is a real headline from The Hill that sums up Biden’s fabled electability:
Biden allies float scaling back events to limit gaffes
And the article is just as funny:
Allies to Joe Biden have been floating the idea of altering the former vice president’s schedule in an effort to reduce the gaffes he has made in recent days.
The allies, growing increasingly nervous about Biden’s verbal flubs, have said it’s an approach that’s been suggested to campaign officials on the heels of the former vice president’s stumbles.
Sometimes a joke just keeps delivering the laughs and this is one of those cases:
Biden has a tendency to make the blunders late in the day, his allies say, particularly after a long swing on the road, like he had last week in Iowa. They say something needs to be done to give the candidate more down time as the campaign intensifies in the fall.
So he gets fussy in the afternoon and needs a nap?
“He needs to be a strong force on the campaign trail, but he also has to pace himself,” said one ally.
And his financial backers are staring to freak out too:
“A lot of people are nervous that he’s lost some of his mojo. They’re getting nervous about him going toe to toe with Trump. But the problem is, there doesn’t seem to be an alternative,” said a major democratic party donor.
When did Biden ever have mojo? When he crapped out in 1988 or when he got his clock cleaned in 2008? The dude has been saying stupid shit and failing at running for president for over 3 decades. Why do any of these people think this time will be different?
Granted, it it’s been a pretty bad couple of weeks for Biden:
Biden started August off by giving President Trump 8 more years in office.
Then he offered sympathy for the shooting victims in Houston and Michigan despite the fact they were in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio.
A few days later he announced that he chooses “truth over facts.”
The very next day he proclaimed that “Poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.”
He then recommended people arm themselves with F-15s to keep him and the government from taking their guns.
Keeping the anti-gun insanity going, Biden claimed that the kids from the Parkland, FL shooting came to visit him when he was vice president, despite he fact that the shooting happened over a year after he left office.
Capping off the first 2 weeks of August, Biden asserted that there are “at least 3 genders” and then forcefully grabbed a woman’s arm to let her know that he invented gay marriage.
But hey, that’s just Biden being Biden. Why the sudden fear that he’ll say or do something stupid? It seems like it would be more unnerving if he were articulate and made valid points based on facts.
What I find most hilarious about this is because Biden is supposed to be the democrats’ ringer who can beat Trump. All they do is talk about how electable he is and yet here are all the people closest to him saying they need to hide him in a closet so the American voters don’t find out what a senile buffoon he is. Trust me, we know.
