We’re finally in the last part of the Legislature’s regular session. Apparently, we’re steaming towards the biennial stalemate otherwise known as the budget special session. Unlike other years, this isn’t just about budget numbers. This time, it’s about the direction of the state of Minnesota, both economically and politically. It’s about whether Minnesotans side with the DFL and financial unsustainability or with the MNGOP and financial stability.

The DFL, led by Gov. Walz, has picked historic tax increases (again) and unsustainable spending. If Walz and the DFL get their way, the state will spend $83,000,000,000 for all revenues spending this biennium, with $51,000,000,000 in general revenue spending. Special thanks go to Harold Hamilton and the Minnesota Watchdog for highlighting the fact that “As recently as 2001, the state spent $37 billion in that biennium. This biennium will see all funds spending of $83 billion.”

That’s far beyond ridiculous. That’s irresponsible in the extreme on the part of the DFL. Mr. Hamilton highlights this important fact:

Capital is Mobile – And it Will Flee.
When taxes are too high, taxpayers will flee to lower taxed jurisdictions. This is especially true for higher net worth taxpayers, who generally have the resources and sophistication to engage in careful tax planning. High tax states are falling into a fiscal death spiral as they raise taxes to cover more and more spending while at the same time fewer and fewer taxpayers remain to shoulder the burden.

Isn’t it interesting that Gov. Walz’s Department of Revenue did their tax incident report, which showed that the lowest income people will get hit hardest by Gov. Walz’s and the DFL’s $12,000,000,000 tax increase over the next 4 years? That’s just starting the bad news. Hamilton continues:

Every reputable organization that analyzes tax burdens ranks Minnesota among the least tax-friendly states in the nation. With respect to overall tax burden, Minnesota is in the top 5 of every reputable ranking, including being the dubious distinction of #1 overall in Kiplinger’s rankings.

No matter the metric, Minnesota punishes its taxpayers. Kiplinger’s also ranked Minnesota as the least friendly state in the nation for retiree income. For example, it’s one of the few states in the nation to tax Social Security income. Add to that high estate taxes, and retirees have little reason to live here, other than the magnificent weather. The North Star state also has a nasty reputation for punitive taxes on the working poor through high regressive taxes.

Here’s the latest on negotiations:

Just before 7 p.m., the Democrats and Republicans met with the Governor. The meeting lasted about an hour and a half. Two major budget sticking points concern Gov. Walz’s proposed 20-cent gas tax and the already in place 2% medical provider tax, which sets aside money for low-income Minnesotans for health care.

Gov. Walz said they made a budget offer last Wednesday, even cutting $400 million in spending and revenue over the next two years, but he says Republicans won’t meet them in the middle. The Governor is confident a compromise will happen soon, but he says his patience is being tested.

“It doesn’t matter if there’s a big story in southern Minnesota telling us that our transportation’s at a tipping point and every single county commissioner and city manager and civil engineer was interviewed for it and said, ‘Yeah, we got to do something or this can be catastrophic,’ and yet we’re still hearing no,” Gov. Walz said. “So yeah, my frustration level is growing.”

First, there’s virtually no support for the gas tax increase. I mean, less than 20% of Minnesotans support a gas tax increase. Further, we learned this week that revenue collection for April was almost $500,000,000 over expectations, meaning we’d have a surplus for this biennium of over $1,500,000,000. If you add into that the fact that there’s over $2,500,000,000 in Minnesota’s Rainy Day Fund, there’s really no reason for any tax increases.

It’s time for Gov. Walz and the DFL to fold their tent and return to Realityville. God only knows where they’re at right now. I’m betting the DFL is inhabiting another solar system.

For the first time in US history, a committee ordered the Attorney General of the United States to break the law. In voting to hold Attorney General Barr in contempt of Congress, House Democrats cited AG Barr’s unwillingness to hand over to them a totally unredacted copy of the Mueller report.

One of the reasons why AG Barr didn’t turn that type of report over to the Democrats is because grand jury testimony is confidential and can’t be turned over without a court order. Even then, there are only 5 exceptions for releasing grand jury testimony. Congressional oversight isn’t one of those exceptions.

Think about that. Democrats, led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, have ordered the Attorney General to break the law. Talk about theater of the absurd! That’s simply stunning. Jim Jordan nails it with this statement during today’s hearing:

Today on Outnumbered OT, Rep. Tom McClintock, (R-Calif.) and a member of the House Judiciary Committee, stated something stunning. He said that only 6 lines were redacted from the 182-page report on obstruction of justice. Think about that! Just 6 lines out of almost 200 pages were redacted. This isn’t about oversight. It’s about Democrats doing whatever they can to destroy AG Barr’s reputation.

Rep. Doug Collins, the Ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, nailed it in this tweet:

Democrats have launched a proxy war smearing the attorney general when their anger actually lies with the president and the special counsel, who found neither conspiracy nor obstruction. Full statement below ? pic.twitter.com/BgCWMqRJW4

— Rep. Doug Collins (@RepDougCollins) May 6, 2019

This tweet from Rep. Collins is pretty revealing, too:

Chairman Nadler: The intent of the subpoena is “to increase our clout in court.”

Does that mean the intent was never actually to get documents? How is this not an abuse of the process? #MuellerReport

Today’s ‘hearing’ was mostly about Democrats showboating for the 6:00 news. This wasn’t about seeking justice.

Democrat pundits have repeatedly said that they’re capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. I have 2 thoughts on that. It’s perhaps possible that they’re capable of walking and chewing gum simultaneously. The question is whether they’re interested in walking and chewing gum simultaneously. Next, I say perhaps because we haven’t seen proof that they can walk and chew gum simultaneously.

Finally, today’s clown show is proof that the Democrats’ priorities are totally screwed up. While Democrats were conducting this clown show, they weren’t addressing illegal immigration, which, the last I looked, is a full-blown crisis. I only know what I can prove. I can’t prove that Democrats give a damn about homeland security. I certainly can’t prove that they’ve investigated and legislated simultaneously.

It’s time to throw these idiots out in large numbers. Hate-America-first Democrats like Jerry Nadler, Ted Lieu and David Cicilline need to stripped of their authorities because they’ve created this clown show.

Earlier this week, I wrote this post to highlight Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s pandering to the Democrats’ base. In her interview with Jake Tapper, she said “I give our workers and our businesses the credit.’ Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar says the American workforce and ‘policies in place, starting with President Obama’ get the credit for historically strong economic numbers.”

Way back in 2009, the Democrat supermajorities in the House and Senate passed a $850,000,000,000 stimulus bill. President Obama signed that bill. Part of that bill was a program named Cash For Clunkers. A year after signing the stimulus bill, the money was having virtually no positive effect on the economy. There were more headaches than positives. I wrote about one of the headaches in this post.
When I first watched this interview, I laughed my ass off:

During an interview with Brian Sullivan, Grant Bosse had some light-hearted fun at President Obama’s expense:

SULLIVAN: Our next guest has just announced his run for Congress from the phantom Double-Zero district of New Hampshire, one of those mentioned in the stimulus plan that don’t actually exist. Grant Bosse says that if it’s good enough to be cited as creating jobs, it ought to have a congressman.
Grant Bosse, Brian Sullivan in for Neil today. Forgive the tongue in cheek.
BOSSE: Oh, of course.
SULLIVAN: The Fighting Double-Zero, isn’t that what you’re calling it up there?
BOSSE: The Fighting Double-Zero. It’s about time we had representation in Congress. Just because we don’t exist doesn’t mean we shouldn’t count. We’re just as serious, we’re just as real as the jobs that were created under the stimulus plan.
SULLIVAN: What is your phantom platform?
BOSSE: Well, to keep the jobs here that the stimulus bill created.
SULLIVAN: Real jobs, though, right? Double-Zero would be happy to push them out to a real New Hampshire district, I assume?
BOSSE: We supposedly found out this week, through the Franklin Center’s report on 440 fake congressional districts nationwide, that New Hampshire’s Double-Zero District got about 2,800 jobs from the stimulus plan, which was quite a shock to the people who don’t live there because it doesn’t exist. And then when they changed the website, they took those 2,800 jobs away, so I’m gonna fight to bring them back and I think we need the type of fake jobs that, um…
SULLIVAN: If I was a fake member of that fake district, I’d be really upset because I was being discounted as being fake.
BOSSE: And that’s why I’m asking you to pretend to vote for me.
SULLIVAN: You know, you’ve got my pretend vote. Now the problem is that it’s in real reports. So it’s not a fake report. That’s the problem. It’s a fake district with fake jobs but it’s a real report.
BOSSE: Yeah, we spent $84,000,000 as part of this stimulus plan for the recovery.gov website and what we got is a very nice website with a great interactive map and the data on it is complete garbage. And in fact, the people that run that website now admit that they can’t tell how many jobs the stimulus bill created because the data, they never bothered to check if the data was any good or not.
SULLIVAN: Listen, if I get up to the Phantom Fighting Double-Zero District, we’ll go out for a fake burger, a fake beer and a real conversation.
BOSSE: No, the beer will be real.
SULLIVAN: That’s the best part. Grant Bosse, thank you very much and good luck with your campaign.
BOSSE: We’ll need it.

The Obama administration wants to take credit for Trump’s booming economy but they couldn’t even get a simple website running to track the jobs created by their stimulus bill. We’re supposed to believe that they knew how to create jobs even though their stimulus bill did virtually nothing over a 3-year period. There’s no reason to give them credit for anything other than being the most economically inept administration this side of the Great Depression. It’s foolish to trust Sen. Klobuchar or any other Democrat’s opinions on the economy. They voted against eliminating President Obama’s regulations aimed at killing the fossil fuel industry. Not a single Democrat in either the House or Senate voted for the Trump/GOP tax cuts that’ve fired up this economy.

I’ll give credit where credit is due. It’s pretty apparent that Democrats deserve very little credit for this roaring economy.

In 2016, the Republican candidates on those debate stages were top-tier presidential candidates, with a couple exceptions. The Democrats’ presidential candidates this year are lackluster at best. Creepy Joe Biden? Seriously? Crazy Bernie Sanders? Someone should buy him a calculator. He needs one really badly. Amy Klobuchar? That mental midget is a pleasant-sounding airhead. Corey Booker is a nobody who thinks he’s a somebody. Soon, Bill de Blasio will join the field. His greatest accomplishment is having NYPD police officers turn their back on him.

Former MNGOP gubernatorial candidate Marty Seifert used to say of the Republicans’ gubernatorial candidates that we “have an embarrassment of riches. The DFL just have embarrassments.” Eerily, that opinion fits this year’s Democrat presidential candidates perfect.

David Avella, the GOPAC chairman and a GOP strategist, wrote this op-ed over the weekend. Here’s the headline-grabbing part of the op-ed:

What a front-runner cannot endure is a rapid evaporation of his or her support. This is what is in store for Joe Biden. He will be out of the race by the time the South Carolina primary votes are counted.

While that’s sure to get everyone’s attention, the rest of Avella’s op-ed is what’s newsworthy:

Let us start with the fact that top Internet and social media search topics are “Creepy Joe” and “Joe Biden age.” This is not launching a campaign from a position of strength. Despite his best efforts to inoculate himself from political mistakes, Joe Biden is simply the wrong guy in the wrong year.

It’s one thing when a candidate gets off to a slow start because he’s still putting the staffing puzzle together. That isn’t why Biden stumbled. He stumbled because he’s running a campaign that Walter Mondale would’ve used against Ronald Reagan. He’s decades behind Obama and light years behind Trump in terms of campaigning.

If Republicans work hard this election cycle, they’ll retake the House, add seats in the Senate and re-elect President Trump. The best explanation for that is wrapped up in this slogan:

Vote Republican. They aren’t perfect but the other side is insane.

Indeed Democrats are insane.

It’s disappointing, though not surprising, that Sen. Klobuchar is pandering to the max to win the Democrat nomination for president. She’s pandering now by saying that President Obama, not President Trump, deserves the credit for Trump’s booming economy.

She said “‘I give our workers and our businesses the credit.’ Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar says the American workforce and ‘policies in place, starting with President Obama’ get the credit for historically strong economic numbers.”

Despite her statements to the contrary, Sen. Klobuchar isn’t that stupid. The policies put in place by President Obama and Sen. Klobuchar have been dispatched with one exception, aka the ACA. By using the Congressional Review Act, President Trump and the GOP majorities in the House and Senate got rid of the industry-killing regulations imposed by President Obama’s administration.

Further, the corporate tax cuts and provisions allowing for repatriation of profits from overseas are leading to previously unforeseen prosperity. How can President Obama insist on taking credit for the rocketship known as the US economy after he told the nation that the GDP numbers that then-candidate Trump predicted were a figment of President Trump’s imagination? Remember this, Sen. Klobuchar?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: He says he’s gonna negotiate a better deal. Well, how’s he gonna do that? How, exactly, are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have and, usually, the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”

Just because President Obama was too inept to negotiate great trade deals doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to negotiate great trade deals. It’s just proof that President Obama wasn’t capable of negotiating great trade deals.

Changing economic incentives changes the economy’s growth trajectory. You don’t need a PH.D. to figure that out. Getting rid of counterproductive regulations lift the weight off major industries’ shoulders. Think fossil fuels, manufacturing, agriculture, etc.

The policies that Sen. Klobuchar voted for and that President Obama put in place were thrown onto the scrap heap of history’s discredited policies. Virtually all of the Obama administration’s economic legacy was trashed within the first year of President Trump’s administration. I’d love hearing Sen. Klobuchar, or any other Democrat presidential candidate, explain how policies that aren’t in place anymore are triggering this economic growth.

When incentives change from stifling economic growth to enticing economic growth, isn’t it human nature for profit-makers, aka entrepreneurs, to make profits again?

Ms. Klobuchar also said that many Americans are still struggling financially, thanks to high student loan debt and health-care costs. “That being said, a lot of people aren’t sharing in this prosperity, because of the cost, the cost of college, the cost of health care,” Ms. Klobuchar said. “The fact that the president had promised he would bring down the prices of their prescription drugs, and that just hasn’t happened.”

Larry Kudlow has heard enough of the Democrats’ criticism and he’s speaking out about it:

“I’m just gonna use the damn facts,” he told Fox News’ Leland Vittert. “On the wage front, [average hourly earnings are] rising 3.2 percent overall. The bottom [poorest] quarter [of workers], 4.4 percent increase, the top quarter, 3.5 percent [increase].”

“First of all, both are good and a rising tide is lifting all boats,” Kudlow added. “But the point I’m making is, it’s the blue collar people that have the fastest job expansion and it’s the blue collar people that have the best wage growth.”

“Wow! Low unemployment, high jobs, high wages, big consumer confidence, major productivity and no inflation,” said an enthusiastic Kudlow while gesturing toward the camera. “It’s totally awesome. We’re killing it on the economy.”

Obama and Klobuchar can lie all they want about people not experiencing the gains triggered by President Trump’s policies but the reality is that people are experiencing the growth. Why else would small business and consumer confidence be through the roof? If people aren’t feeling good about their economic situation, they aren’t confident.

Before he jumped into the race, Joe Biden’s Democrat presidential challengers brought up his history of his inappropriate (and creepy) touching of women of all ages. As quickly as it started, though, it died down. That’s unfortunate. Joe Biden is a creepy old white man.

As sad as Biden’s creepy touchy habits are, that isn’t his worst character defect. This article highlights Joe Biden’s worst character defect.

Never willing to let a good race-baiting opportunity go to was, “former Vice President Joe Biden rang the alarm that ‘Jim Crow is sneaking back’ at a campaign rally in South Carolina, the south’s first primary state that is seen as key to clinching the Democratic nomination.” This isn’t surprising, just disgusting and repetitive. Joe Biden has been doing this for years. Here’s another instance of Biden playing the race-baiting card:

Simply put, Biden is both a race-baiter and a pervert. It’s time that sensible Democrats rejected this type of campaigning. That’s if sensible Democrats still exist. Then there’s this:

On systemic racism, Biden gave the example that if two men named “Jamal” and “John” applied for the same job, “John” would easily get the gig.

I’m tired of hearing this crap. That sounds like something another old white Democrat (Mark Dayton) said.

Biden held a campaign rally Saturday in Columbia, the Palmetto State’s capital and home to the University of South Carolina. Bidden added to his usual fighting-for-the-middle-class stump speech by calling for protecting voting rights and ending “systemic racism.” Biden cited numerous states’ voting laws which he said are “mostly directed at people of color.”

Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams tried playing that race card, too. They almost won. Neither race should’ve been close. Apparently, Democrats can’t help themselves when it comes to race-baiting:

It’s sickening to see Democrats pandering to Al Sharpton, aka Tawana Brawley’s co-conspirator. While it’s sickening, it isn’t surprising.

For 2+ years, Democrats have criticized President Trump’s economy. The first shit-for-brains Democrat to criticize President Trump’s economy was Paul Krugman. In fact, he didn’t wait for Trump’s inauguration. On Election Night, Krugman said “If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never. Under any circumstances, putting an irresponsible, ignorant man who takes his advice from all the wrong people in charge of the nation with the world’s most important economy would be very bad news. What makes it especially bad right now, however, is the fundamentally fragile state much of the world is still in, eight years after the great financial crisis.”

Krugman later said “Now comes the mother of all adverse effects, and what it brings with it is a regime that will be ignorant of economic policy and hostile to any effort to make it work. Effective fiscal support for the Fed? Not a chance. In fact, you can bet that the Fed will lose its independence, and be bullied by cranks.”

After that statement, it’s amazing that anyone would listen to him. Unfortunately, they did:

Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman warns a global recession could come this year from CNBC.
Tom Rogan’s article asks the right question:

What planet are the Democrats on?

That’s a perfect question, although at times I wonder if they’re part of the same solar system. For the past 2-3 months, Democrats have peddled the storyline that people aren’t feeling the good economy, that the GDP and the great job creation numbers and the rising wage numbers are hiding the misery that most people are feeling.

What the hell are Democrats talking about? Would consumer confidence be soaring if people didn’t notice the strong economy? Should people think that nobody’s noticing their rising wages and the extra wages in each paycheck?

Of course, they’re noticing these things. They’d have to be as dumb as a Democrat to not notice. My advice to LFR readers is simple. Ignore the Democrats’ spin. Follow President Reagan’s advice:

Don’t be afraid to see what you see.

The economy is going gangbusters. Now, though, isn’t the time to be lethargic. It’s time to mobilize. It’s time to defeat the socialists, aka Democrats. Let’s not give them the chance to ruin this prosperity cycle.

Democrats keep digging their PR hole deeper each day. Today, a multitude of Democrat activists/propagandists in the MSM insisted that Bill Barr lied. E.J Dionne’s article is a perfect example of that. Dionne fancies himself as a leading Democrat intellectual, which, if true, is frightening.

Here’s one of Mr. Dionne’s best arguments:

It’s not good enough that a redacted version of the report was eventually made public. For 27 days, the debate over Mueller’s findings was twisted by Barr’s poisonous distortions that implied a full exoneration of President Trump. Many public statements and much punditry were devoted to insisting that Trump’s opponents owed the president an apology, that the Russia matter was never what it was cracked up to be, that the president was free and clear.

Mr. Dionne, is it that difficult to admit that Robert Mueller has closed shop without filing a single indictment of conspiracy or obstruction of justice against anyone connected with President Trump?

For months, Democrats insisted that “the walls are closing in on” President Trump or that Mueller’s team was preparing to indict various family members of President Trump’s family. None of those things happened. One bombshell after another turned into a dud. Finally, the Mueller team closed up shop after getting Paul Manafort or Michael Cohen to plead guilty for crimes they’d committed long before the Trump campaign started (Manafort) or after President Trump’s inauguration (Cohen).

Now, Nancy Pelosi, the leading Democrat in the House, accused AG Barr of lying to Congress without presenting any proof. There seems to be lots of that going around within the Democratic Party. Check this out:

Something’s bothering Pelosi. Look how much she’s aged since regaining the Speaker’s gavel. What’s probably bothering her most is the fact that she can’t control the pro-impeachment radicals in her caucus.

It was Van Hollen who, two weeks after Mueller had registered his complaint, had asked Barr an un-senatorially direct question: “Did Bob Mueller support your conclusion?” Barr replied: “I don’t know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusion.”

Lawyers might argue over whether this was an outright lie, but to call Barr’s answer misleading and obfuscatory is rather kind. Trump must have been very proud of his attorney general.

Actually, for people who use nuance and words for a living, it isn’t even slightly misleading. Mueller’s team was upset. That’s entirely different than asking if Mueller himself was upset.

Nowhere in Mr. Dionne’s article does he provide proof of his ill-advised allegations. These days, Democrats don’t believe in the presumption of innocence or due process but they definitely think allegations and trash-talking constitute proof. Saying that Democrats, starting with Ms. Pelosi, think that the Constitution is a nuisance that gets in the way of them total victory is understatement.

In November, 2020, we need to re-elect Donald Trump, grow the Republican majority in the Senate and retake the majority in the House. I’m confident that that’s totally possible, especially if Democrats keep acting this deranged.

Salena Zito’s column does a great job highlighting the advantages that Joe Biden has in winning the Democrats’ nomination, then the general election. Personally, I don’t think that Biden’s got any chance in the general election but that’s just my opinion.

Ms. Zito starts by writing “Joe Biden joined the 2020 race for president last week by declaring that the next election will be ‘a battle for the soul of this nation.’ But his decision to make a Western Pennsylvania Teamster hall his first campaign stop on Tuesday shows he truly understands the heart of it.”

I don’t doubt that Biden identifies with western Pennsylvania. It’s just that I think he starts with an albatross around his neck. The name of that particular albatross is President Obama. During their 8 years in office together, the Obama-Biden team tried to demolish the coal industry, the manufacturing industry and the steel industry.

In his announcement video, Biden said that “I believe that history will look back on 4 years of this president and all that he embraces as an aberrant moment in time. But if we give Donald Trump 8 years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation.”

That’s odd considering the fact that the president he served said “We are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming America.”

Sleepy Joe, along with his other Democrat presidential aspirants, sat idly by while President Obama tried destroying steel mill towns, the coal-mining industry and the manufacturing industry. That isn’t the only disturbing thing Obama said. This statement is something else that will live in infamy:

They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

He was talking specifically about Pennsylvania. Why hasn’t Vice President Biden stepped forward and criticized President Obama for essentially saying that voters in rural Pennsylvania, Ohio and other midwestern states were racists? This might be Biden’s biggest mistake of the campaign.

I don’t doubt that Democrats will let him off the hook for not criticizing President Obama but I’m betting blue-collar Trump voters who felt forgotten under President Obama don’t feel forgotten with President Trump. A major part of President Trump’s accomplishments have benefitted these voters. What reason would they have for leaving the guy whose policies have helped restore their towns and their industries?

I don’t disagree that Biden has some strengths that will help him. It’s just that I think he’s got a ton of liabilities that will hurt him as much as his strengths will help him.

Watching former VP Biden’s presidential launch has been painful, even for a conservative like me. Josh Marshall’s latest post at TPM is titled “The Perfect Candidate Who’s Totally Ill-Suited to the Times.” That’s worded about as perfectly as it gets.

Democrat moderates keep saying that VP Biden is the only Democrat candidate who can win back blue collar workers that Democrats lost in 2016. It’s my opinion that they’re talking about the Democrat I call ‘Theoretical Joe.’ Theoretical Joe was born in Scranton, PA, and supposedly loves blue collar workers. Democrats won’t retake the White House without re-establishing their support from blue collar workers. That’s why moderate Democrats support Theoretical Joe.

The guy who showed up this morning on The View, however, couldn’t fill a diner, much less an arena. I call this morning’s Biden ‘Real Joe’ because, unfortunately for Democrats, is the real Joe Biden. This is a disaster:

He looks totally unequipped to answer a question he had to know was coming. I’m old enough to remember President Reagan’s great line in his debate with Walter Mondale. In their first presidential debate, President Reagan looked tired and off his game. The press said he looked old. Then came the second debate. This is what happens when you’re prepared:

It’s worth noting that the journalist at the end said “I’d like to leave early before it heads over the fence.” In other words, the journalist thought that President Reagan had hit a homerun with that answer.

Joe Biden knew that question was coming. His handlers should’ve had him prepared for it. Instead, he stuttered and stammered his way through the answer. He looked befuddled when there was no reason for him to be.

Real Joe Biden isn’t capable of winning anything, starting with the nomination. I think he’ll have difficulty winning more than a handful of Democrat primaries.
