Dems love for Biden

Democrats Have Never Really Loved Joe Biden Enough to Spare Him This Humiliation – PJ Media  "... Democrats don't love him that much, either. 

Bear with me on this one.

"Looking at the circumstances that got Joe Biden into the Oval Office, one can see that he wasn't carried there on a great wave of positive emotion. 

"Biden owes most of his political fortunes to his ability to keep getting elected to the United States Senate. He did that in Delaware, though, a state with a population similar to that of my favorite local brewery on a Saturday. 

"He hung around long enough to become useful to Barack Obama in 2008. His High Holiness the Lightbringer needed a running mate who was older and had better Washington connections than he did. Actually, "wanted" is a better word than "needed" in this situation. There is a very real possibility that Obama could have chosen one of Zsa Zsa Gabor's furs as a running mate and beaten John McCain. 

"In 2020, it wasn't a great love of Joe Biden that motivated Democrats but a deep, abiding hatred of Donald Trump. Biden had hung around longer than any other Dem in that race, so he was the safest bet for what Dem elites had planned. They knew he would be grateful for getting a third shot at the office and — because he's never been the sharpest tool in the Beltway shed — easy to control. 

"Now, all the Dem faithful who are asking him to step aside are telling us what a great guy he is for hanging around Washington all these years. It's crap. 

"Joe Biden has always been a combative, verbally abusive jerk. He's been tolerated because he was a great pit bull for the Dems. He may even be liked by many. But loved? 

"No way. 

"Because they really don't have any better options, all the power players in the Democratic Party are fine with Joe Biden getting mocked after every public appearance. Like his wife, there isn't one important Democrat who cares about Joe Biden enough to want to keep him from further embarrassment. The only ones who are sincere about him stepping aside are those on the B Team bench who are waiting to replace him.

"I think we know how they all feel about him." . . .
