Had Biden not lost his son, he might have had a very good chance of defeating Hillary for the 2016 nomination, even though the party bigwigs felt it was "her time." To many rank-and-file Democrats, she was simply unlikeble. Not their first choice. More importantly, a Biden victory would have made recent history a whole lot different, and thousands of dead Americans might still be alive.<br /><br />Six weeks ago, I was working at my volunteer gig and more than willing to offer as much time and energy and effort as the Biden folks would allow to a geezer who doesn't tweet or text or own a smartphone. But now my volunteer gig is gone and there isn't going to be any campaign. Not as we've known it. Not in the traditional political sense. No rallies. No door-knocking. Social distancing has put the kibosh on all that. <br /><br />So I'm in limbo, like everyone else, and wondering what the summer and fall will bring. Get-out-the-vote e-mails and phone calls from home? Meh. Nowhere near as exciting or as challenging as my experiences in the last three campaigns. But what the hell...whatever it takes to find a vaccine that will eradicate the Orange Plague...even dialing for the donkey.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-78825483365279256722020-04-17T14:09:28.170-05:002020-04-17T14:09:28.170-05:00If that fire fighter was a Fox addicted, 100% kool...If that fire fighter was a Fox addicted, 100% koolaide saturated right winger, they still climb that ladder and risk their life.

I feel perfectly justified in saying, "I will take the charge against Biden every bit as seriously as you took the ones against Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, and anyone else who supports <i>your</i> beliefs."Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-6723312922755627482020-04-17T08:57:55.444-05:002020-04-17T08:57:55.444-05:00Although I couldn't read the whole article -- ...Although I couldn't read the whole article -- is this going in the paper tomorrow?--, I get the point and agree that Joe Biden is our guy now and fussing over his age, his chumminess bordering on the creepy and his corporation entanglements is self defeating. However, I think AOC is correct that the sexual allegations have to be addressed. I recommend truth serum. Not really, but some all or nothing lay-your-cards-on-table maneuver is necessary not to show the Republicans we're better than they are, but just because we are better than they are. Right now Joe Biden has to prove he's innocent, which isn't all that much different from the standard we would impose on Trump and Kavanaugh, however much it deviates from the sacred tenets of American criminal justice. Destroying the accuser's reputation is off the table as far as I am concerned. If I were Biden, I would tell the world, "I didn't do it, but I can't prove my innocence and if you feel that the allegation all by itself is enough to disqualify me for the presidency, so be it."<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215684866966011198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-54418504797654122452020-04-17T08:45:26.436-05:002020-04-17T08:45:26.436-05:00Well said and clever.
