“Coronavirus concerns” is code for “Dear God! We just cannot let this demented old man out of the basement!”
It was just reported that Joe Biden will not be traveling to Milwaukee for the Democrat National Convention due to “coronavirus concerns.”
And if you believe that’s the reason, I have a honey of a bridge to sell you.
Coronavirus concerns my tight, muscular ass.
If you watched the clip in my previous post, you, like me, will conclude that “coronavirus concerns” is code for “Dear God! We just cannot let this demented old man out of the basement!”
The coronavirus was the greatest gift ever for Team Biden.
“Coronavirus concerns” covers a multitude of incompetence.
In fact, I put the likelihood of Joe backing out of the debates due to “coronavirus concerns” at about 70%.
Team Biden just needs to drag his useless carcass over the finish line and they’re home free.
They know this guy is dancing on his last functioning brain synapse. And the last thing they need is for him to implode during a public appearance that lasts more than twelve minutes.
So they’re keeping him tucked away hoping an absent, unseen Joe plays well among voters.
Then if it works, once he’s inaugurated, he can step down due to “coronavirus concerns” and the carefully-selected VP will take over.
Team Biden most definitely has concerns, just not “coronavirus concerns.”
I’d go so far as to say Team Biden passed the “concern” exit months ago and is now barreling toward the Big Sticky Fear Off-Ramp.
As Michael Godwin points out in today’s New York Post,
“Joe Biden’s basement strategy will backfire.”
For one thing, if there is anything voters, and Trump, can smell, it’s fear. And the mere entertaining of the idea that Biden could break with tradition that goes back nearly half a century and take a pass on face-to-face showdowns with his opponent may masquerade as strategy, but it is a sign of fear, plain and simple.
It is the fear that Biden will be unmasked as mentally unfit to be president. His deficiencies are not a secret to those who know him, and general-election voters have a right to see them clearly before they make their final choice for the presidency.
Keeping the old cooter hidden away until November is a remarkably dumb idea. In addition to making Biden look incapable of leading the country, it also gives President Trump a hell of a lot of ammunition with which to bombard bungling Biden’s bunker.
Deciding to forego Milwaukee is only going to make the stink of fear all the more ripe.
Eventually every voter not steeped in Trump Derangement is going to be able to sniff it out.
