If Biden gave a nationally televised speech talking about how the army took over "airports" during the Revolutionary War, would he be more suitable then?

Good point, sir!

 

[0nelilreb]

Good point, sir!

LOL ok you earned that like . Well played .

 

[615vols]

Good point, sir!

Right? At least he didnt mention visiting 57 states or meeting a marine corpse man.

That is hardly heaping praise on the GOP. Biden is saying that there are good Republicans but they are intimidated by Trump's bullying. Biden is signaling a return to a less combative and a more civil and dignified tone, where bi-partisanship could exist, which I think this country is ready for.

There are good and fine people on both sides.

LOL
A recession will be nothing more than a self fulfilling prophecy brought on by the media and the leftists. Nothing more than the latest 'get Trump' tactic.

It will be nonstop recession mongering until the election even as the economy continues to expand.

I wasn't paying it much attention back then. But I don't doubt it. I do remember "Read my lips...", ole GHWB never did hear the end of that one.

Not sure what you mean by this. There was a full fledged recession in the early 90's. It just didn't begin and end when everyone seems to think. Throughout 1989 and 1990, the economy was weakening as a result of restrictive monetary policy enacted by the Federal Reserve. The immediate cause of the recession was a loss of consumer and business confidence as a result of the 1990 oil price shock, coupled with an already weak economy.

However, this was just a normal business cycle and we quickly recovered. President George H.W. Bush did a very poor job during his 1992 reelection bid of explaining how the economy was already in recovery. The trough wasn't extended very long. Part of his problem, was that he had lost trust with the American people over breaking his 1988 campaign promise to not raise taxes (Read my lips! No new taxes!) and part of his problem was that he just wasn't a good campaigner. His message was completely negative. That doesn't work as well when you are an incumbent with a record to defend. The 1992 Republican National Convention was centered around "family values" and attacks against Bill Clinton's character when it should have been focused on the economic recovery that was already happening. The Bush campaign just wanted to talk about Bill Clinton's character flaws... it was the wrong message at the wrong time. The media had nothing to do with his downfall.

You left out the wimp factor. Didn’t the media have some fun with that.

Another Gaffe: Joe Biden Mixes Up Iowa and Vermont at First Event After Lengthy Rest

Joe Biden made his first public appearance in more than a week on Friday, but it was quickly overshadowed by the former vice president’s propensity for gaffes.

The 76-year-old Biden, who had been on vacation resting since Sunday, appeared at a fundraiser in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The event was Biden’s first since retreating from the public eye after a series of high-profile gaffes not only consumed his campaign last week, but also renewed doubts about his fitness for office.

Instead of allaying the mounting concerns about his candidacy, Biden added to them on Friday when addressing donors in Delaware. While discussing a recent speech in which he accused President Donald Trump of fanning “the flames of white supremacy,” Biden mistakenly claimed it took place in Burlington, Vermont, rather than Burlington, Iowa.

Even though the former vice president quickly corrected his mistake, the gaffe underscored all of the problems plaguing his campaign in recent days.

Biden’s troubles began innocently enough during a campaign swing through Iowa. During a stump speech at the Iowa State Fair, Biden confusingly told voters that “we choose truth over facts.”

“Everybody knows who Donald Trump is. Even his supporters know who he is. We got to let him know who we are. We choose unity over division,” he said towards the end of his stump speech. “We choose science over fiction. We choose truth over facts.”

As Breitbart News reported, the comment was likely the result of Biden flubbing an applause line he frequently uses on the trail: “we have to choose hope over fear, unity over division and, maybe most importantly, truth over lies.”

Michael Moore: Let’s Hope ‘The Squad’ Is the Face of the Democratic Party ‘Because That’s How We’re Going to Win’

Friday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour,” liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said he was all for Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) being the face of the Democratic Party, a suggestion President Donald Trump has made in recent weeks.

“Let’s hope that Alexandria and Rashida and Ilhan and Congresswoman Pressley are the face because that’s how we’re going to win,” Moore said to host Brian Williams. “We’re going to win with people who believe that climate change is real. We’re going to win by getting behind people who want to raise the minimum wage, who are going to fight for all these things that the American public wants. That’s ‘The Squad.’ They’re the force out there.”

Mayor Pete Should Probably Drop Out Already

Many agree that there are way too many white dudes running for president in the Democratic primary. As the third round of debates draws near, some Democrats are beginning to wonder why some of the low-polling vanity candidates shouldn't quit the presidential race and run for a statewide office they might actually have a shot at winning.

Buttigieg is the ideal vanity candidate for rich white liberals with graduate degrees. He dominates in the "boat shoe" strongholds of Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and Cape Cod. He speaks obscure languages and plays the didgeridoo, because of course he does. And yet he's still trailing frontrunner Joe Biden by 25 points, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average. In fact, Mayor Pete is only a couple points ahead of Beto at this point. The latest Fox News poll has him tied with Andrew Yang at 3 percent.

Buttigieg doesn't have to stay in Indiana and run for governor, but if Democrats are interested in aggressively winnowing the enormous field of presidential candidates, what exactly is the point of keeping Buttigieg over Yang? Why not just accept the fact that they're probably going to be stuck with Biden and hope he doesn't blow it like Hillary did?
