Low energy Jeb Joe?

There are a lot of comparison right to to Joe Biden either being a return of Jeb "low energy" Bush or Hillary "I got this" Clinton. All three fall into the category of frontrunner by default, having the biggest name, or the biggest reputation. 


There was never any question that Jeb Bush had appeal, or that Hillary Clinton was favored to beat Bernie Sanders and then Donald Trump. The problem with all three is the fact that the support offered for these candidates has never been the rabid kind you had for other candidates. Tepid support wavers and can easily be picked off.

Biden's numbers took a bit of a nosedive in the past couple of weeks, especially in Iowa. While he still maintains a lead, he has done so by effectively staying out of sight, skipping events, and trying not to make any waves. This is given many Democrats pause, as this appears to be an ineffective long term strategy taken right out of the Hillary Clinton (how to lose) playbook. 

The problem with laying low, trying to sit on your lead, and basically run out the clock is that it doesn't help you draw in any new support. It can also lead to many unwanted questions. Already there are rumors circulating that Biden is missing events because of health reasons. True or not, this is also reminiscent of rumors that haunted Clinton down the stretch. Let's keep in mind that Joe Biden would be the oldest Candidate to ever garner a nomination, and is four years older than Trump (who never wants for energy). Biden would be effectively an 80 year old President by the time the first midterm election comes around.

Eventually Biden will need to step up and compete. He will need to start matching the energy level of some of his opponents or his support will continue to fall. 30-35% may be a really good number in twenty person race, but once this weeds out down to three or four, that sort of number may not hold up. The question is whether or not Biden's inactivity is a strategic choice, or a given necessity due to his age.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Monday signed into law a measure requiring anyone convicted of sex crimes with children younger than 13 to be chemically castrated as a condition of parole.

Under the new law, offenders required to undergo the reversible procedure must begin the treatment at least a month before their release dates and continue treatments until a judge finds that it's no longer necessary.

Ivey, a Republican, made no public statement about the measure. She had given little indication whether she supported the measure until Monday, the last day she could sign the bill.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Steve Hurst, a Republican representing Calhoun County, who said that if he had his way, offenders would be permanently castrated through surgery.

"If they're going to mark these children for life, they need to be marked for life," Hurst told NBC affiliate WSFA of Montgomery.

@Doc_0

Biden leads in the primary because a crucial number of Dem voters correctly believe the other two dozen candidates are unelectable. Every day Biden is on the campaign trail brings these Dems one day closer to believing he can't win either, at which point the fun REALLY begins.

Biden in a landslide!

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Trump by 13 points nationally, according to the latest Quinnipiac University survey.

In a national head-to-head matchup, the poll found Biden taking 53 percent against 40 percent for Trump, with the poll's assistant director describing it as a "landslide" margin.

Right-Wing Media Is Preparing to Run the Clinton Playbook on Biden

Sean Hannity says he’s unhealthy. Sinclair says he’s corrupt. How Republicans are working to turn Joe Biden into Hillary 2.0. Trump said he wants to run against "slow Joe" Biden!

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden hold hands and raise their arms at a political rally.
By John Taggart/Bloomberg/Getty Images.
As former Vice President Joe Biden emerges as the Democratic primary's clear front-runner, Republicans are responding with a familiar strategy. A year and a half before the general election, conservative news outlets have already been taking a page from their Hillary Clinton playbooks, hitting back against the not-quite-presumptive Democratic nominee by making dubious claims about Biden's health and family business dealings. Perhaps unsurprisingly, some of those critiques are even coming from one of the Clintons' most persistent adversaries: Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, a conservative-leaning media conglomerate and the largest owner of local television stations in the country, has recently been pushing an interview with Schweizer on its news stations, in which he discusses the ongoing conspiracy theories concerning Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Following talking points that first attracted attention in the New York Times, Schweizer expresses concern over Hunter Biden's business ties in China and Ukraine and alleges that the countries' governments were attempting to influence the former vice president through his son. “Foreign governments and foreign oligarchs are looking to recruit the family members of politicians because they believe by striking commercial bargains with them—helping politician families become rich—that they're going to get favorable treatment,” Schweizer said in his Sinclair interview.

Sinclair's interview isn't the first time the right has latched on to Hunter Biden. Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has been the conspiracy theory's biggest proponent, even going so far as planning a trip to Ukraine to try to convince the government to investigate Biden's son—which was then called off when opponents pointed out the move looked like an attempt to influence the 2020 election. The right's decision to cling to the allegations of impropriety seem based more on bias than fact; even Giuliani's point man in the Ukrainian government has admitted the government “[does] not see any wrongdoing” in Hunter Biden's actions. And Schweizer isn't exactly the most reliable source. Media Matters chronicled the journalist's “long history of errors, retractions, and questionable sourcing” back in 2015, and his Clinton Cash book was criticized for errors that included making accusations without evidence and relying on a fake press release as a source. (A Biden spokesperson described the accusations against his family as “a politically motivated hit piece based on a series of demonstrable, factual errors” in a statement to the Wall Street Journal.)

But that isn't the only strategy the conservative media is repeating from 2016. In a callback to the days of the far-right's obsession with #HillarysHealth, Fox News commentators have started raising the idea that 76-year-old Biden's health could be in decline—while offering zero evidence. Citing a comparison Bernie Sanders made between Clinton and Biden, which referred to the lack of enthusiasm around their campaigns, Fox Business Network host Lisa Kennedy said, “The more damage that [comparison] does, you go, ‘You know we haven’t seen Joe a lot, maybe he has hidden health issues, is always wearing an overcoat.’” Trump ally Sean Hannity also alluded to Biden's health, saying on a recent episode of his program, “Joe Biden’s tired. He does not have the energy for this. He’s not up for this challenge. They’re already hiding him like they hid Hillary. They don’t want him out there.” The Biden campaign's national press secretary T.J. Ducklo said in a statement to the Daily Beast the comments “are baseless lies meant to stoke fear in their viewers.” Fox News viewers are too fucking stupid to look elsewhere!

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahh dumb shit

As far as I see it is that if the election was held this month Biden would win in a landslide!

The debates will give me a pick to beat Trump's fat ass.

Well Rog - Quinnipiac's final 2016 election poll showed the President at a lousy 40% and losing in a landslide as well.

Plagerizing Joe

"“He says, ‘let's make America great again,’” Biden said of Trump in Ottumwa. “Let's make America America again.”

BIDEN ENDORSED BY MICHAEL AVENATTI AFTER LAUNCHING 2020 BID: 'HE HAS MY ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT'

Turns out, that’s not the first time voters have heard that line: Michael Avenatti, the anti-Trump lawyer who briefly promoted a possible Democratic presidential run of his own this year before being indicted on multiple charges, repeatedly used that same slogan in public remarks as he pushed back against Trump."

I love joe.
