oe Biden is the front-runner by every measure — except big crowds

The former veep is leading the Democratic field in all the important categories except one.

He’s dominating in the polls, his fundraising is going gangbusters and he’s showing broad support from key political players in the early presidential states.

So where are the big energetic crowds, the lines around the block to get into Joe Biden’s events?

The question is no small matter in a party still recovering from a bitter 2016 defeat — a loss marked by a lack of enthusiasm for an establishment nominee in several critical states.

Attendance at the former vice president’s launch rally paled next to some of his rivals. In his first Iowa visit, he didn’t match the crowds that greeted Elizabeth Warren or even the less well-known Pete Buttigieg in their initial visits. So far, he’s kept his events to smaller venues where there’s little danger of empty seats.

In the eyes of Biden’s progressive critics — as well as President Donald Trump, who has publicly mocked him for it — the seeming lack of excitement or teeming masses at his events is a leading indicator of a lack of passion for his candidacy.

“I started to think the polls were wrong about Biden because it’s not what we’re seeing on the ground,” said Aimee Allison, founder and president of She the People, a national network devoted to promoting women of color.

I don't think any of the clowns are drawing big crowds.
Principles matter. Words matter.

Rose Garden strategy.

Of course, he has to realize that every time a Democrat opens their mouth, it hurts them more than it helps.

Joe's advisers must have told him the way to keep his foot out of his mouth is not to open it!

During the Vietnam war Joe Biden got 5 student deferments, and a medical deferment.

As mayor of South Bend, Buttigieg managed to get a select assignment as an intelligence analyst in a headquarters basement in Afghanistan for a few months before going home.

Donald Trump has been Commander in Chief for two and a half years.

Whose got more military experience?

Maybe mayor Buttigieg and sleepy Joe should rethink their strategy of attacking the president on military and foreign policy experience.

The occupants of the clown car, including Biden, are doing their choreographed job as intended.  In 2016, HR Clinton went up against Comrade Muppet, and I believe would have lost the nomination had it not been for HRC colluding with the DNC.

So now we are into the 2020 election nominations, and how does HRC get past Comrade Muppet?  Well, she arranges for the field to be flooded with enough Dems to dillute anything Comrade Muppet could build.  When HRC announces she is running, it will suck most of the air out of Biden's campaign.  He knows this already.  So, how hard would you work knowing this?  There is no mystery here whatsoever.  This is all planned, down to the smallest detail.

The Democommie horde dillutes Comrade Muppet's votes and enables HRC to win enough primaries to put him in a position where he cannot win. 

It will be Trump vs Clinton in 2020.  Count on it.  And she has a chance to win if they continue to put the full court press on him, the FED continues increasing interest rates through November, 2020, and the media continues to report fake/false news.

This is the most ludicrous argument I have heard yet. How many deferments did Trump get, shill?
