Biden has just blown his cred as a moderate, non-scary Dem

There is now no reason for moderate Democrats, scared of the party's vocal activist base and the hard-left shift they have forced on it, to trust that Biden won't cower and cave in to that base on other issues.  

Thomas Lifson  "The dirty little secret of Joe Biden's frontrunner status is that most traditional Democrat voters are scared of the party's vocal left-wing faction and the politicians who pander to them with ruinously expensive policies like the Green New Deal, racialism like "slavery reparations," and talk of raising taxes and imprisoning Donald Trump on charges to be determined later.

"The inevitable fall of Biden just accumulated downward momentum by his reversal of position on the Hyde Amendment (banning federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the mother's life).  For decades, he has cited his deep Catholic faith as the reason he cannot support taxpayer-funded abortions.  But what's a deeply held religious position when his political career is at stake?" . . .

. . . So why support a bumbling, gaffe-prone (AKA stupid), ancient pol if he is useless as a bulwark against the hard left?" . . .

Where do pro-life Democrats go now?  . . . "ZIP code?  How pathetic!

"The flip is a total crock and makes Biden look weak and foolish.  The Hyde Amendment is about federal funding of abortion and nothing more. 

"Why did he flip anyway?  He is up significantly in the polls.  Standing up to the Left would work for Biden in the general election.  He could say he believes in Roe v Wade but not in forcing taxpayers to pay for abortion.  He could add that he agrees with most Americans who want restrictions on late-term abortions without taking a woman's right to choose.

" 'Pathetic" is not strong enough." . . .
