Joe Biden’s First Mistake

Joe Biden’s First Mistake
Editorial of The New York Sun | April 26, 2019

Vice President Biden is making a mistake, in our view, in trying to run for president on the idea that America is full of deplorables. He’s launched his campaign with a video featuring neo-Nazis marching at Charlottesville. He’s suggesting that President Trump — and his millions of followers — are racists and anti-Semites. That libel backfired on Secretary Clinton. What can Mr. Biden be thinking?

It may be that the ex-veep wants to deflect attention from the Democrats’ own problems. Mr. Biden’s party hasn’t been able to condemn the anti-Semitism surging in the Democrats’ own caucus. Even Mr. Biden himself, supposedly a centrist, shrank from taking on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her ilk. Mrs. Pelosi at least tried to get a statement, though she backed down.

Nor have Mr. Biden’s apologies for his own self-perceived defaults cut much ice in his own party. This week he reportedly telephoned Anita Hill to express regrets that he was unable in 1991 to ensure a proper hearing of her allegations of sexual harassment against Justice-to-be Clarence Thomas. Ms. Hill promptly let it be known that his call left her, as the New York Times put it, “deeply unsatisfied.”

I too, thought that Biden's thematic emphasis on Charlottesville was odd and a sop to the "woke" haters on his side of the aisle. 

Whether justified or not,  Biden's reputation is that of a centrist and he ought to run on that basis.  If he does, he can beat Trump.   But the progs may force him to don the kneepads and bib.

Biden is a rich old White guy running in a Party whose flag is doing away with rich old White guys.
Ergo, he has no choice but to go hard far Left to try to overcome who he is as a person.
Furthermore, Biden (like Hillary) represents the past century. He has to prove that he is "woke" and is current.

I prefer "hands." I don't have anything against people who get hair transplants.  However, old perverts disgust me.

He did that because he well knows that he can't make it through the nomination process as a centrist.

He's walking a tightrope without a net...and a tightrope.

Joe has a history he won’t be able to run from. And part of that history is his record of verbal gaffes, his failed campaigns for the presidency, and now questions that have arisen about his son’s business, his possible corruption as Vice President and Ukrainian collusion.

Investigations into Biden’s actions will be playing out throughout his campaign run. Which brings me to my point. The first mistake this two-time loser made was running for president a third time.

Other than that, run, Joe, run! President Trump slew much bigger foes than Joe “My state is a slave state” Biden.
