Just look at the video tape:

Joe Biden called for Cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Veteran Benefits
He’s been very consistent:
AS EARLY AS 1984 and as recently as 2018, former Vice President Joe Biden called for cuts to Social Security in the name of saving the program and balancing the federal budget. Last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders highlighted Bidenâs record on Social Security in prosecuting the case that Biden isnât the most electable candidate. The issue could be raised again in Tuesday nightâs debate.
After a Sanders campaign newsletter continued the attack on Bidenâs Social Security record, the Biden campaign complained to fact-checkers at Politifact that his comments were being taken out of context. Placed in context, however, Bidenâs record on Social Security is far worse than one offhand remark. Indeed, Biden has been advocating for cuts to Social Security for roughly 40 years.
And after a Republican wave swept Congress in 1994, Bidenâs support for cutting Social Security, and his general advocacy for budget austerity, made him a leading combatant in the centrist-wing battle against the partyâs retreating liberals in the 1980s and â90s.

He can’t runaway from his record:
What that record shows is that Biden has a 40-year history of being open to Social Security cuts, including raising the retirement age, reducing cost-of-living adjustments and, worst of all, means testing, which would convert Social Security from an earned social insurance benefit to welfare. That would not just cut Social Security but destroy it.
But why is the history important, now that Biden has joined Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in embracing expansion with no cuts? It raises questions of judgment and even more seriously, the failure to understand the mistakes of the past. Biden recently tweeted âI’ve been fighting to protect â and expand â Social Security for my whole career.â That claim isnât remotely true. Biden is entirely unwilling to admit his past Social Security error.
Effective compromise requires a deep understanding of oneâs values, so one knows where to compromise and where to hold firm. Bidenâs record shows that in the past, he did not understand when to hold firm. That raises the question of whether he knows when to do so in the future.

You won’t Want to vote for Joe Biden after Seeing this Video
It is obvious that Biden is in mental decline. Do we want someone like this going up against Trump in the Fall? Trump has mental decline issues as well. But nothing like this.
Mayor Pete Turns to God to Win Over Black Supporters
Just call him Slick Pete. We are seeing the beginnings of the establishment Democrats trying to perpetrate a fraud on the American people. And in particular, African-Americans:
As Mayor Pete Buttigieg kickstarts his campaign to win over African-American voters who are skeptical of his spotty track record on issues of concern to black communitiesâor who are entirely unfamiliar with him at allâthe millennial mayor is returning to one of the touchstones of his early campaign: his faith.
âIt’s not for nothing that a lot of my experiences even back home addressing black voters, specifically, is in church,â Buttigieg recently told reporters aboard his campaign bus in New Hampshire, in response to a question about what âclicksâ with African-American audiences. âKnowing how important an organizing principle faith is in so many black families, in so many parts of the black community.â
Hillary Clinton Seriously Considering 2020 Run
Pete Buttigieg has Become the Candidate of the Corporate Democrats

As Joe Biden collapses in the polls there seems to be a movement towards Pete Buttigieg. The young Mayor from Indiana is now out fundraising the well known former Vice President. And we know that money is mother’s milk of politics. But in addition, Buttigieg is now in position to place high in the Iowa primary in February. History tells us that front runners rarely win.
To make sure Buttigieg has started to become more aggressive. In particular, he’s been attacking the progressive candidates Warren and Sanders and their plans. Just what Wall St. is looking for:
But as the campaign season has unfolded, charming Pete has all but disappeared, replaced by a more combative, defiant Pete, whose new modus operandi is scoring points by attacking the Democratic Partyâs progressive front-runners (and long shots) from the right, on everything from gun control to campaign finance to health care. His new demeanor was on display repeatedly during Tuesdayâs debate, as he went toe to toe with Beto OâRourke over gun control, and denigrated the Sanders and Warren vision for Medicare for All.
Pfizer exec Sally Susman to host presidential fundraiser for Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand
The Democrats are still addicted to the Wall St./Corporate money. And Gillibrand is a NY Senator. She obviously sees herself as Clinton’s aire apparent:
A senior executive at pharmaceutical giant Pfizer will host a campaign fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, CNBC has learned.
Gillibrand is slated to attend a March 31 fundraiser at the New York home of Sally Susman, Pfizer’s executive vice president and chief corporate affairs officer, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. Ticket prices range from $1,000 to $2,700, these people added.
Klobuchar ate salad with her comb, ordered aide to clean it: report
This is the garbage the Democrats have to offer for president. Did I mention she failed to keep Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court as a member of the Judiciary Committee:
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) once ate a salad with her comb and ordered an aide to clean it after the staffer did not get her a fork.
The 2008 story during a trip the senator took to South Carolina is used as the lead anecdote in a blistering new story from The New York Times with the headline “How Amy Klobuchar Treats Her Staff.”
The story is based on interviews with more than two-dozen former staffers to Klobuchar, according to the news outlet, and includes several details about the demands she placed on her staff.
It reports that many former aides described her treatment as âdehumanizing.â
It’s Insane to Have a Presidential Campaign Begin 673 Days before the Election

It began with Elizabeth Warren New Year’s Eve 2018 announcement that she would seek the nomination for president in 2020. That is 673 days before election day. Does that make sense?
A presidential term last 4 years. Therefore candidates are running for the White House for almost 2 years. That’s insane. And it gets worse every election cycle. This means elected officials are spending all this time running for office usually outside of the state where they elected in. And the insanity is not limited to the time it times to run for the president. It has become normal for a candidate to raise $1 billion for their campaign. Equally insane.
So should it be any wonder that we have the failed government that we do? We should demand a law that would prevent a presidential candidate to raise campaign money 6 months before the election. That would limit the campaign to that period of time.
And while we are at it, let’s have public funding of campaigns. And in that way we take the corrupting influence of money out of elections.
Bernie Sanders Shouldn’t run for President in 2020
It would be a mistake for Bernie Sanders to run for president again in 2020. Like the last time the Democratic Party will make sure that he does not win the nomination. Additionally, he won’t be running against the most unpopular Democratic politician in American history. And by running a failed campaign he will be leading his supporters into a wild goose chase. Bernie should’ve have been leading a third party movement after 2016 rather than wasting his efforts transforming the Democratic Party. Sanders is an Independent, why not act accordingly. If he does decide to run then it should as a part of third party ticket. In the process Bernie will help build a movement. But he won’t do that. Sanders prefers a fanciful dream of becoming president rather doing the glamorous work of creating a true revolution in America.
Here is a local perspective:
Continue reading “Bernie Sanders Shouldn’t run for President in 2020”Sen. Bernie Sanders is widely considered a top contender for the Democratic Party nomination in 2020, but he doesnât have the backing of what some politicians rely on as a close ally: his home state paper.
âBernie Sanders should not run for president. In fact, we beg him not to,â the editorial board of the Barre Montpelier Times Argus writes in a piece published Monday.
The paper dings Sanders for missing âdozens of votes that likely would have helped Vermontersâ during his 2016 primary run against eventual nominee Hillary Clinton.
It hammers the Green Mountain State independent for favoring the national media circuit â Stephen Colbertâs late-night show, CNN hits and spots on MSNBC â over talking to local reporters.
