Here are my observations and opinions on how I view the future of the Biden campaign.

When Apology Joe Biden shouted out a reminder that his campaign had been given up for dead as he began his Super Tuesday victory speech in Philadelphia, I was reminded that I, too, was highly skeptical of his chances, considering the boat load of Democrat hopefuls.

There was all that talk about how the party didn’t want an old white man as its candidate, as the media touted its diverse slate that included younger men, women, blacks, an Asian, a Hispanic and even a Samoan.

But when the rubber met the road, it became a race between two old white men. Bernie Sanders, a socialist with radical plans to transform the nation by redistributing wealth, and Biden, a life-long public servant, who cannot put a sentence together.

Recognizing that Biden’s Super Tuesday victory essentially made him the Democrat Party nominee, I wondered how he was going to survive a general election campaign against President Trump.  Biden may have been resurrected, but he’s unelectable.

Since Biden’s speech, I began thinking about what had been said about the failing Biden by a media that one would think would have been more kind to “one of their own.”

As a I sought quotes on the Biden campaign, I came across a reference to the Biden campaign in Althouse, a blog written by Ann Althouse, in which she quoted this interesting line from the left-leaning Slate:

“The Biden 2020 campaign isn’t about following its nominal leader, or even listening to him; it’s about the party pushing him over the line collectively, and about making plans to give him the necessary support once he’s in office.”

My curiosity caused me to read what else Slate had to say, and I found it quite revealing.  “(The Democrat Party) has been self-destructively obsessed with the goal of installing a savior figure in the presidency,” wrote Ben Mathis-Lilley in his lead.

“Sanders himself is too risky despite widespread sympathy for his goals,” said Mathis-Lilley. “So it’s Joe by a nose, thanks in part to the good will he built up under Obama and in part to all the other horses having died.”

Biden, he says, is portrayed, in essence, “an American Queen Elizabeth, who will project our values gracefully as head of state.”

“The (presumptive) nominee’s camp knows he’ll be judged by the helping hands he surrounds himself with, and that he’ll need to maintain a connection to all the party’s factions, if he reaches the Oval Office.  It’s not him – in other words – it’s us,” Mathis-Lilley concludes.

Back to those early quotes about Biden.  “Few pundits thought he stood a chance in the Democrat primary, given his bumbling campaign, incoherent message, and frequently malfunctioning brain,” remarked Andrew Stiles in the Washington Free Beacon.

Interestingly, Stiles, believes the mainstream media and liberal pundits have no choice now but to praise Biden as the “savior” – there’s that moniker again – of the republic.  He allows that this would involve “a complete about-face after spending 2019 routinely savaging Biden as an incompetent, feckless racist.”

Looking back, in September 2019, Zach Carter of the Huffington Post, wrote: What’s stunning is the insistence from the Democrat Party’ leadership that Biden is their best bet for defeating Donald Trump.”

“(The) Biden health care plan would preserve the crazy quilt, Rube Goldberg aspects of our current system,“ New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote in July 2019.

“If defeating Trump in 2020 is as important to Biden as he so often claims, he should end his campaign and remove himself from contention for president,” wrote Jamil Smith, a senior writer with Rolling Stone, in September 2019.

Considering the general belief that Biden has an “in” with black Americans, I found it interesting that Charles Blow of the New York Times wrote, “Biden’s positioning on racial issues has been problematic.”  His colleague at the Times,  Roger Cohen, wrote that Biden had “demonstrated tone-deafness on race in a way that is disturbing.”

The Democrat debate, previously scheduled for Phoenix on Sunday, was initially changed to be a sans-audience event due to concerns for the Coronavirus, but later moved most likely to a CNN studio in Washington DC.

In view of the unkind words that have been written and said about Biden and his campaign, I expect you may see the beginning of the media effort to restore Biden’s credibility.  Softball questions will be tossed by the likes of Jake Tapper, and there won’t be any hostility exhibited by Sanders, who will be looking for concessions for those young “heads full of mush” people in his movement.

TRUMP WINS REELECTION – I have always been confident that President Trump would win reelection, no matter who the Democrat Party put forth as its nominee.  I see Biden as a particularly weak opponent.  And many see Biden as red meat for Trump.

Despite the president’s early identification of the Coronavirus as a serious problem that caused him to ban travel from China early on, and to establish a high-level task force of health experts to face the issue head on, the voting public can be fickle, especially when Democrats and the media are touting his incompetence and poor leadership in handling the outbreak.

I’M OPTIMISTIC – Kramerontheright believes that the virus will be controlled effectively by our nation’s superior medical experts in the months ahead, and it will be in our rear-view mirror by the November election.

FINALLY, SPEAKING OF CNN – In my last blog, I quoted an individual who humorously Tweeted the network’s Brian Stelter that because the airports were empty, nobody’s watching CNN.

The Babylon Bee, which routinely pokes fun of matters political, reported of “CNN’s Ratings Collapse As Coronavirus Fears Empty Airports.”  Reporting, “while CNN is usually able to claim millions of captive viewers every day, their audience dropped to almost nothing overnight, with airports completely devoid of weary travelers with dead smartphones and nothing to look at but CNN.

The report went on to state that CNN on-air personalities were quick to blame President Trump, suggesting that he had a hand in creating the virus specifically so that CNN would implode.

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
