Sing It With Me: M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

It’s been a dizzying collapse for Joe Biden who entered the 2020 presidential race with a lead in nearly every national and state poll. By Tuesday night, well before the polls in New Hampshire had even closed, he tucked tail and ran to attend a “launch party” in Columbia, South Carolina.

Tuesday morning, shortly after the polls opened, Uncle Joe was being interviewed on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.  Co-host Willie Geist reminded Biden that Clinton dirty trickster James Carville stringently warned “people are not going to vote for socialism.”  He then asked Biden if he agreed if Bernie Sanders becomes the Party’s nominee if Democrats would lose to President Trump in the general election.

Biden answered, “I refuse to suggest any Democrat can lose. I think, you know, we could run Mickey Mouse against this president and have a shot.”

“There’s blood in the water,” said Quentin James, executive director of The Collective, a political committee that backs African-American candidates. “Black voters are starting to leave him now…A big reason lots of black voters were with Biden is they thought he was the best person to beat Trump. And they thought one reason for that is that he had the support of white voters. Now they see he has done so poorly with white voters and he no longer looks like the electability candidate.”

“This is horrendous. We’re all scared,” said a Biden adviser, speaking anonymously because the comments conflict with the brave public face the campaign is trying to put forward. “I think we’re going to make it to South Carolina. I know we’re supposed to say we’re going to and we’re going to win. But I just don’t know.”

You may not know sweetie, but the rest of us certainly do.  There’s no fork big enough to stick in this turkey.  He’s done.
