| You sure about that? |
Watching Iowa Senator Joni Ernst utterly embarrass herself kissing Donald Trump's ass as she tried to influence Iowa Democrats on their upcoming selection of a Democratic nominee by questioning their support for Joe Biden after the Senate impeachment trials proved Biden had done absolutely nothing wrong (and you'd think after Ernst bragged about castrating hogs she'd have just a bit more fortitude), had me wondering once again why republicans think Biden is their toughest foe.
I know I'm in the minority, and while I think Biden can beat Trump regardless, I still think he would be the best candidate for Trump to run against. To wit:
- Voters would be comparing two old white men (a group of which I am also a card carrying member). Biden would not stand out in the way a either a woman or a candidate of color would.
- Biden is massively prone to gaffes when speaking.
- He would be a constant reminder to Trump's base of Barack Obama--and confirm all of their racist instincts and thus fire them up more than perhaps another candidate.
- Ditto his support from African-Americans.
- Biden does not appeal to young Democrats who are not interested in incremental steps and want action on income inequality and climate change yesterday.
Be a shame if all their work ended up with us selecting another candidate who trounces Trump in November...
Fuck Donald Trump,
