Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden is hopping around Iowa these days on one foot — the other being permanently lodged in his mouth. Poor guy can’t get through a speech without slandering someone, slurring a people or simply saying something incredibly stupid.
Still,
Mr. Biden’s support in polls nearly doubles his next-nearest rivals. The rest of the endless Democratic field is 30 points behind him. You know your party is in trouble when “Joe Biden” is the best it’s got.
And it’s not that Democratic voters around the country are trembling in excitement over Mr. Biden.
He is just the least terrible in a deeply terrible field.
Democratic politicians once viewed as serious people have run off with the circus.
They now embrace open borders, want to give free health care to illegal aliens and defend post-birth abortion, better known in other circles as “murder.”
These are political positions that are not just
repellent to normal mainstream American voters. Most mainstream Democratic voters don’t even buy into this ridiculousness.
Former President Barack
Obama remains the most popular person in the Democrat Party and even he — along with his legacy — has been abandoned by most of the nuts running for his party’s nomination.
Sure, Mr. Biden has tried his best to catch up with the circus. At 76 years old, however, he just cannot quite make it. Truly one of the advantages of old age.
Trump observed of Mr. Biden: “He lost his fastball.” Along with a few marbles, it appears.
