I have been worrying for a long time that if Democrats dont defeat Donald Trump in 2020 (or remove prior to that which seems unlikely), America’s date with fascism is set. So, like most Democrats, I have been looking for a candidate who could kick Donald Trump’s ass.
Today, as I watched the Devil, or Devon Nunes, question Lt. Col Vindman and of course Hunter Biden and Joe Biden came up repeatedly. And then it seems that Vindman, in addition to all the damning statements he made about Donald Trump, under questioning stated he did not think Hunter Biden was qualified for his position at Boresma.
We must not nominate Joe Biden as the candidate of our party in 2020! If we do, many of Donald Trump’s greatest weaknesses, his corruption, his disregard and abuse of women, his continual putting his foot in his mouth, will be canceled out . Because Joe Biden, however unfairly or not, has been associated with all of the above. Even though what Biden has done pales in comparison with what Donald Trump has done, the very fact he has questionable behavior in the same areas is something the Democrats should not take the chance on.
Joe Biden is also a candidate that the 1% dont have to worry about. He has said so outrightly. Joe Biden will not rock the boat, as his running mate Barack Obama did not want to rock the boat either. After all the fascist machinations of the Republican party over the past 40 years or so, Biden, just like Obama, feels they are “esteemed colleagues” who want the best for our country.
Right now, I am honestly undecided on who I will support for our nomination. I am torn between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. But I want a candidate who can win Right now, both Bernie and Warren pretty much lead Trump in most if not all the polls. They also dont have the baggage Joe Biden will bring. Joe Biden will not excite the youth vote, the women vote, the progressive base. Hillary was robbed in 2016, but if we nominate Joe Biden in 2020 it will make it close enough of an election to make it easy again for our candidate to be robbed again by the same forces.
Hunter Biden’s role, fair or not, is going to be used by the Republicans to deflect away from the much more outright corruption of the Trump crime family. Biden’s time is come and gone. The country has moved on, it wants much more fundamental change in areas such as health care, global climate change, economic inequality, etc. I am grateful to Joe Biden for finally pushing Barack Obama to come out in favor of gay marriage. His personal live has been full of crosses to bear and sorrow to assault his soul. But he is not the candidate the Democratic party needs to defeat Donald Trump in 2020!
