The Death Spiral of a Democrat
Joe Biden is once, twice, three times a failed presidential candidate.
The 30+ point lead former Vice President Joe Biden had over every Democratic Party presidential candidate in May is gone. According to Real Clear Politics, a polling aggregator, Elizabeth Warren is now the front-runner.
Maybe it’s Biden’s temper or President Trump’s cyber-bullying and media berating or his belief that Biden and his son Hunter are guilty of an illegal act in Ukraine…or maybe it’s Biden’s growing inability to raise campaign funds and America’s need for political tribalism…it could be a host of things that may be causing the Democratic party establishment to re-consider their tacit endorsement of the centrist leader.
Biden’s guilt or innocence in Ukraine is irrelevant.
The Biden’s remain indirectly, yet deeply, ensconced in the impeachment proceedings of President Trump. The past few weeks have seen the public bearing witness to Biden’s short fuse. On the one hand, it can be dismissed as frustrated innocence and a father protecting his son and on the other, it can be an indication of an ill temper. For Biden, it seems to be all of the above. Frustrated is understandable, protecting your son is admirable but having a bad temper is not a favored trait…
