Why Uncle Joe Biden will be America's next president
Joseph Curl March 12, 2019
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
That’s right, you heard it here first, folks: Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States.
The avuncular 76-year-old from hardscrabble Scranton, Pennsylvania, will waltz into office in November 2020. The only question is whether Barack Obama will come out of retirement to join Uncle Joe on the ticket.
He’s gonna go — you know he’s going to go. He’s not even really playing coy now, he’s just letting the other wannabes shoot themselves repeatedly in both feet before he jumps into the race.
And boy are they. The Democrats already in the field are promising free healthcare, free college tuition, free cash for everyone (even if they “choose†not to work). They’re promising slavery reparations, a top tax rate of 70 percent or higher, and one new member of Congress — whom the Democratic National Committee chairman has called “the future of the party†— is calling for the end of planes and cars, as well as farting cows.
Uncle Joe’s not going to play that game. He’s a career politician (he only held a “real†job for a few years in his 20s, and he’s been living off the public dole for nearly half a century). He’s run for president twice, in 1988 and again 20 years later, so he knows the game inside and out. And after a decade of political sniping, 2020 is tailor-made for a middle-of-the-road candidate, which fits Mr. Biden to a T.
