Joe Biden Is Nothing More Than Hillary With Hair Plugs

Former Vice President Joe Biden may be the shakiest frontrunner in the recent history of presidential politics. Despite being perched atop the primary polls since entering the race, it always feels as if he is soon to be kicked off of that perch.

After getting knocked about in the first debate by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Biden has maintained a lead in most polls but has slipped in almost all of them. Oddly, the one he's been strongest in was done by Fox News.

Biden is by far the most experienced politician in the 2020 Democratic field. In most professions that is an advantage. In politics, it can really be a negative. The Beltway is where intellectual originality goes to die. Biden first got to D.C. when grown men were wearing brightly colored bell-bottoms. The originality portion of his brain atrophied long ago.

Crazy Joe the Wonder Veep's experience could have been a wellspring of ideas for what he would be like as president. Instead — as Business Insider notes — he is merely repeating Hillary Clinton's one-note epic failure message from 2016:

In a crowded field of almost two dozen contenders, Biden has claimed the mantle as its most anti-Trump candidate. And he's made rejection of the 45th president the core part of his campaign message. At the same time, he's cast himself as a pragmatic politician who would restore bipartisanship in Washington and as the likeliest one to beat Trump in the 2020 election.
