President Joe Biden is lucky he has Kamala Harris as his vice president.
With her by his side, it means that there is no way Biden will be impeached once the Republicans, as expected, take over control of the House and maybe even the Senate, in 2022.
Were the incoming Republicans to impeach and convict Biden for “high crimes and misdemeanors,” or for incompetence over Kabul, or for scrubbing naked Russian hookers from Hunter Biden’s laptop, Harris would become president.
The only people cheering that would be the few thousand illegal immigrants still left in Central America who have not yet crossed the Rio Grande.
Even the most diehard of Republicans would not want to see Biden impeached and thrown out of office. Better the frequently befuddled incumbent leader you know than the frequently befuddled leader you don’t know.
One key reason why the Democrats did not move sooner to oust Republican President Richard Nixon from the White House during the Watergate scandal was that it would have made Vice President Spiro Agnew president.
The Democrats and the establishment media in the early ’70s despised Agnew almost as much as they do Donald Trump today. And with good reason.
Agnew, who was Nixon’s hatchet man, used to call Democrats and liberals “pusillanimous pussyfooters“ and “hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs.” He would have accused the media of “fake news” if he had thought of it. Instead he labeled reporters “nattering nabobs of negativism.”
