Democrats might be about to blow it -- and give Trump another 4 years.
In 2016, Trump tapped into a very real anti-establishment sentiment by
railing against Wall Street speeches, corrupt corporate trade deals, and
the corrupt swamp. He was lying about his position on all those things.
But his outsider campaign had cross-party appeal.
The Atlantic just wrote a story entitled: "Joe Biden, Incumbent."
When thinking about who can defeat Trump, it would be complete malpractice
to nominate someone seen as the ultimate political insider.
Someone who conspired in backrooms for decades with credit card lobbyists
and corrupt Republican politicians like Mitch McConnell. Someone who voted
for every corporate bankruptcy bill, Wall Street deregulation, and trade
deal that voters hate.
Biden would ironically cede the outsider mantle to a corrupt incumbent
president.

Here's more of why Joe Biden is not our best foot forward:
* Recently, Biden said [ [link removed] ]Clinton should have taken the high road on the
Access Hollywood tapes and called women candidates "angry."
* Biden voted for Wall Street deregulation, NAFTA, and the Iraq War.
* After immigrants confronted Biden at a recent campaign event about
Obama's record of deportations, Biden told the speaker, "[ [link removed] ]You should
vote for Trump."
* In response to a debate question about the legacy of slavery, Biden's
[ [link removed] ]rambling answer included an old racist idea about how parents of
color don't know how to raise their kids: "It’s not that they don’t
want to help -- They don’t know what quite what to do" he said. His
answer? “Leave the record player on at night” to teach kids more
words.
* When fondly recalling days of greater civility in the Senate, Biden
invoked memories of working with two staunch [ [link removed] ]segregationists to
"get things done."
* Biden has been recorded making old fashioned, sexist jokes to young
women, like saying "[ [link removed] ]I'll bet you're as bright as you are
good-looking" to a 10-year-old, and telling men they have "[ [link removed] ]great
taste" while looking their wives up and down.
* His attempt to seem in touch with racial strife recently was to talk
about a "gang leader" he once knew named Corn Pop. Many Black leaders
mocked him.
* Biden implied the solution to sexism was...nominating him. [ [link removed] ]Emily's
List's VP Christina Reynolds rebutted.
* Biden represented the credit card capital of Delaware -- and opposed
Elizabeth Warren for years as she tried to get relief for victims of
spiraling, predatory credit card debt.
