Former Vice President Joe Biden’s unsteady demeanor at his first press conference in nearly three months on Tuesday reinforced the idea that he is not going to be in charge of his own administration if he is elected president in November.
The Biden administration will be run behind the scenes by a mixture of old establishment hands and young radicals. In effect, it will pursue the policies of Bernie Sanders, with the personnel of Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
It will be a regency, not a presidency — or, perhaps more accurately, a government by a central committee, or a politburo.
The Soviet Union, after all, had a head of state whose role was largely ceremonial. Real power was exerted by the leader (or general secretary) of the Communist Party, also known as the premier, who used the politburo to run the government.
Joseph Stalin is notorious; less well known is Mikhail Kalinin, who was the Soviet head of state for most of Stalin’s rule.
Biden is being cast as the kindly, gentle grandfather, a comforter who says he can heal the nation’s wounds through his own personal experience of grief. His rhetoric is actually rather alarmist: he has been saying for more than a year that we are in a “battle†for the “soul of the nation,†and he persists in libeling his opponent as being a neo-Nazi sympathizer.
