Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday defended his faulty description of a tale of military heroism and his interactions with the service members who carried it out.
The “essence” of his recollection is correct, the former vice president told a South Carolina newspaper Thursday after a Washington Post story detailed how an emotional anecdote Biden told recently while campaigning in New Hampshire contained inaccuracies.
So there are two sides of this conventional wisdom. One side is that Biden gaffes are much like Trump rants, already baked into the political market so so speak. Just Joe being Joe. No worries. The second side is that Biden's gaffes are causing a problem in a crowded field and many people are actually worried that it's more than just gaffes this time around. Why take a chance when there are other legitimate options?
The truth is that while Joe Biden was the Vice President less than four years ago, that seems like a lifetime ago. Let's also face the fact that Biden was not exactly an influential figure in the Obama White House. Not every one really knows Joe Biden all that well, and for many younger voters, they are just starting to get to know him.
So the question becomes, what is the shelf life on Biden's "electability argument"? The two biggest concerns for Biden are that someone else starts polling as well as him, or the entire field starts to poll well ahead of the President. In scenario one, people will see this as a momentum thing. He's going down, while someone else is going up. In scenario two, liberals will ask themselves why pick a moderate (perhaps even a slightly conservative) nominee, when they could pick someone like Warren or Sanders (believing that they are going to win).
This might be a bigger knock down drag out than the 2016 nomination fight was. There also are likely going to be at least three or four Candidates in this for a while. The super delegates can do their best to make sure there isn't a mad free for all come convention time, but this is going to be a marathon, not a sprint.
Is Joe Biden in good enough condition to run this marathon?

Myself I would like to see a generation change.
The baby boomers should retire.

He's been acting more impulsively in the last couple months.
If the economy slows down, the Democrats can argue that they have been the party that has lead the country out of a recession. Obama and Bill Clinton created millions more jobs than any Republican in decades!
***This could come down to see which candidate is less demented!***
THAT'LL be an easy enough call!
Trump’s Fired Assistant Had No Non-Disclosure Agreement
New York Times: “Inside the faction-split White House, Trump loyalists cheered Ms. Westerhout’s departure as a move that was long overdue, and said they hoped it served as something of a wake-up call for Mr. Trump to bring in more loyalists into the West Wing. But current and former officials also expressed alarm about what information Ms. Westerhout could share down the road, not just about the president, but her colleagues.
“Adding to the concern was the fact that, unlike most other officials, Ms Westerhout was not thought to have signed a nondisclosure agreement, a document that Mr. Trump has frequently used in effort to tamp down on leaks.
“At least one publishing house on Friday had discussions about trying to approach Ms. Westerhout for a book.”
OH BOY, THE THINGS SHE MAY TATTLE!

Well, your right, between your fake Indian, a multi-millionaire that preaches Socialism and Slow brain damaged Joe.
You got it covered.

The Abnormal Lost Years.
"The Fed is now letting as much as $50 billion of its bond holdings mature every month without replacing them. That takes money out of the financial system, as the Treasury Department then finds new buyers for its debt. The Fed describes the winding down of its balance sheet, along with rate hikes, as part of a “normalization” of its policy stance and a response to the solid performance of the American economy and a return of more-normal inflation rates"
Educating the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT.
Finally the Federal Reserve takes one foot off the brake.
August 3rd, 2019
"The Federal Reserve’s decision to stop shrinking its balance sheet from Thursday means the era of quantitative tightening by major central banks is over less than a year after it started."
Now the Federal Reserve needs to take the other foot off the brakes and cut Interest rates by 50 basis points.
They are fleeing failure.
"More People Are Leaving NYC Daily Than Any Other U.S. City
(Bloomberg) -- Scores of people are leaving the New York City area behind every day.
New York leads all U.S. metro areas as the largest net loser with 277 people moving every day -- more than double the exodus of 132 just one year ago. Los Angeles and Chicago were next with triple digit daily losses of 201 and 161 residents, respectively.
This is according to 2018 Census data on migration flows to the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas compiled by Bloomberg News."
Gee goat fucker.....NY area is also the largest population center in the US and those leaving, like me....moved to warmer less hostile weather climates you dumb fuck....BTW.....what does is your point other than the one on your pin head?????

NEW ORLEANS — President Trump has portrayed America’s cities as wastelands, ravaged by crime and homelessness, infested by rats.
But the Trump administration’s signature plan to lift them — a multibillion-dollar tax break that is supposed to help low-income areas — has fueled a wave of developments financed by and built for the wealthiest Americans.
Among the early beneficiaries of the tax incentive are billionaire financiers like Leon Cooperman and business magnates like Sidney Kohl — and Mr. Trump’s family members and advisers.
Former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey; Richard LeFrak, a New York real estate titan who is close to the president; Anthony Scaramucci, a former White House aide who recently had a falling out with Mr. Trump; and the family of Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, all are looking to profit from what is shaping up to be a once-in-a-generation bonanza for elite investors.

The stated goal of the tax benefit — tucked into the Republicans’ 2017 tax-cut legislation — was to coax investors to pump cash into poor neighborhoods, known as opportunity zones, leading to new housing, businesses and jobs.
The initiative allows people to sell stocks or other investments and delay capital gains taxes for years — as long as they plow the proceeds into projects in federally certified opportunity zones. Any profits from those projects can avoid federal taxes altogether.
“Opportunity zones, hottest thing going, providing massive new incentives for investment and job creation in distressed communities,” Mr. Trump declared at a recent rally in Cincinnati.
Instead, billions of untaxed investment profits are beginning to pour into high-end apartment buildings and hotels, storage facilities that employ only a handful of workers, and student housing in bustling college towns, among other projects.
I Highly recommend this piece to be read by all!!! Especially you Lil Scotty....it is a compelling argument that the current electoral college vote is patently illogical and needs a revision....!!!! But the right with its 3 victories with less popular votes will never go with any change...just like gerrymandering!!!

Currenty a presidential candidate has to win a majority of the vote in enough states to get an electoral vote majority.
Abolishing the electoral college will concentrate power to the elite political class in the cities.
Rural and suburban American would no say in national politics they would essentially be colonies. No matter how they dress this up, this is the ultimate political goal. It much easier to for socialist to seize power when that power is concentrated in cities.
And it's much easier to force initiatives hostile to rural interest though congress.
The Federal Reserve was radicalized by Obama.

It's a waste of time. The electoral college will never be abolished. Three-quarters of the states are not that stupid.
And the question is never answered. Who legally counts the National popular vote?
Notice that the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT hate the current US Constitution .

this is some sort of a shocking revelation? i suppose it is to the brain trust at the ny times.
these investors could plow their $$$ into democrat-run human shit-slathered ghettos.
or they could just set fire to massive piles of cash. the net result is the same. and setting fire to it would save time.
this ain't rocket science, junior. these guys are going where they can earn a profit. and while that may be scandalous to the geniuses who wrote this article, to savvy investors who do this for a living it's just another day at the office.

Omar climbs off of her brother and a married guy not her hubby to say this.
"“We should do what any other country does, by dealing with this situation in a serious way,” Omar told an audience in Minneapolis, according to the Star Tribune. “So we have to bring in the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees – an agency that has the expertise and the training to handle massive flows of refugees humanely.”
Denny where would you rather see these privately held billions go?

Well the proof is in the pudding. This is the same polling we saw four years ago with Trump vs the Democratic field. He was the guy that would lose to everyone by double digits.
So it's fair to believe that this is just another example of these pollsters blowing smoke out of their collective asses.
