CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 26, 2019
NOW THERE ARE 20. FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ANNOUNCED BY VIDEO YESTERDAY HE IS AGAIN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. TWICE BEFORE HE RAN AND HE NEVER MADE IT THROUGH THE EARLY PRIMARIES. HE WILL HAVE AN EVEN TOUGHER TIME NOW, THOUGH THE MEDIA WILL HELP. EVEN BARACK OBAMA WON’T ENDORSE HIM. THAT MUST HURT, GIVEN BIDEN’S LOYALTY TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT.
IN HIS ANNOUNCEMENT, BIDEN DREDGED UP THE RACIAL CONFRONTATION IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA TWO YEARS AGO AND AGAIN QUOTED OUT OF CONTEXT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S REMARKS. THE PRESIDENT DENOUNCED RACISM AND SAID IT ISN’T WHO WE ARE AS A NATION, BUT BIDEN CHOSE A SMALL CLIP THAT CONVEYED ANOTHER MEANING. IT IS DISHONEST, BUT THAT’S POLITICS.
BIDEN IS TIED TO POLICIES AND ISSUES, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, THAT HAVEN’T WORKED. HE’S RUNNING ON EMOTION. IF HE GETS THE NOMINATION, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LIKELY TO CHEW HIM UP IN DEBATES.
NOTICE HOW BIDEN AND ALL THE OTHER DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES HAVE SAID NOTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF. TO THEM, GOVERNMENT IS GOD AND INDIVIDUALS MUST BOW AT ITS ALTAR. I’M CAL THOMAS.
