"Some thought he would be the savior of the party in this next election. Others, not so sure. In any event, we will now see how far the flawed candidate Hillary gets ..."
Well, the old man of the sea is not going to run. Wait - I can't say that. Bernie (Lenin) Sanders is about the same age. In any event, this was BIG news today (not). After his term is up, Smokin' Joe can retire back to Delaware and just be a grandpa (trust me - it is not a bad gig).
Now it gets interesting. There are many in the Party of the Donkey who have doubts about the front runner. For example, just the other day, her poll numbers were released on likability and trust. Bad, very bad. And Bernie? He is popular now, but most everyone knows in a general election this old Socialist from New York (originally) will get creamed. Martin? Nope - he can keep his membership at LA Fitness and keep pumping the iron.
Will someone else enter the race at this late date? I think "she" might. Oops. Did I let the cat out of the bag? Yup - our 1/25th Native American Senator, Elizabeth Warren. And I say this for many reasons. First, she is young (a babe in the woods) compared to the Jurassic Park crew they have on the spate now. Next, she is a fresh face. Very fresh. However, I think the thing which really sealed the deal with many was she is so hated by Wall Street. Hillary (from New York), is looked upon by the Wall Street (bond traders and speculators) as a favored child.
As Donald Trump continues to eat up the press coverage faster than a black hole devours light, the blue side of the street still looks a bit unsettled. Whereas the blue side parses every word to be the ultimate phraseology in the land of PC, Trump continues to use his filterless mouth to tell truisms. And that, is the attraction of so many people today. People hate PC, and love the truth. Whether true or not, what Donald says sounds very good to a very large group of people.
Back to Joe for a minute. I am not a big Joe fan. Never have been. I have always thought him to be a bit of a gadfly. I do mourn with him however, on the loss of his son. Beau was a good man, a very good man. And nobody should EVER have to bury a child. By the way, Joe is smarter and savvier than Hillary. Or Bernie. Or that guy from Maryland. Some think a Biden/Warren ticket would have been a tough one to beat. Today however, without Joe - well, time will tell.
Bye, bye Joe. I have heard about you for decades now. In fact, since I was a young man serving in Maine in 1972. But it is time to go. Go be a grandpa. Enjoy your zillion dollars a year you will receive in federal retirement. And Joe, one more thing. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
