Biden not Senile During Debate with Sanders
Joe Biden has a hairy leg up on Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination. If he can reassure voters he’s not senile.
The two members of the COVID-19 high risk set engaged in debate Sunday night.
Joe Biden, the 77 year old hero of the hazy center left establishment, took on 78 year old grumpy socialist Bernie Sanders. At a safe social distance, of course, and in front of no audience.
Biden surprised me in 2012 when he schooled Paul Ryan in a vice presidential debate. But he hasn’t aged gracefully and I thought Bernie would wipe the floor with him on Sunday. Except, I forgot that Sanders was highly likely to lead with his chin on “Medicare for All.” Which he did.
When Bernie griped that America was ill prepared for the Corona Pandemic because “We’ve got thousands of private insurance plans. Joe didn’t miss a beat. He pointed out that Italy has a single payer system and is way worse off than we are. So far.
Biden Not Senile
Vox says Biden “delivered his first coherent campaign message on Sunday night:”
“People are looking for results, not a revolution.”
Sleepy Joe, Senile Joe or Super Joe?
The party has greased the skids for Sleepy Joe, Senile Joe or Super Joe, depending on your point of view.

Acme Impeachment Anvil Falls on Wily Democrats
Things haven’t worked out well for the Wily Democrats. It’s dawning on them that Joe Biden has never won a primary in his 77 years.
Then there was there was the caucus chaos in Iowa.
Elizabeth Warren’s plans to appeal to the far left seem to be losing their favor. But that’s only because Bernie Sanders, a 78 year old socialist, who’s not really a Democrat, is leading the party even further left.
The 38 year old small city Mayor Pete nips at his heels. And 78 year old humongous city Republican Mayor Mike, with billions to burn, is coming on strong. And he says he’s willing to spend whatever it takes.
Wily Democrats
Maybe Amy Klobuchar will prevail in sensible shoes.
But whatever happens, they’ll always have impeachment.
Beep! Beep!
Democrat Caucus Meltdown in Iowa
The Iowas Caucus is in chaos. Again. Democrats blamed their caucus meltdown on “coding problems.”
More Caucus Meltdown Chaos
Now they fear the DNC will kill the caucuses’ leading role in presidential elections.
Joe Biden – so far getting his ass kicked in fourth place and no delegates – once offered this advice to coal miners losing their jobs: Learn to code.
Caucus Clown Car at Senate Impeachment Trial
Senate impeachment trial hostages Sanders, Warren and Klobuchar face a dilemma. Closing arguments are tomorrow, but so are the Iowa Caucuses. And the final vote on whether to toss Trump is Wednesday.
More Caucus Chaos
And the Des Moines Register further complicated things by canceling the release of its “gold standard” poll Saturday night. Somebody left Pete Buttigieg out as a possible preferred candidate.
Meanwhile, back in Washington, the president delivers his State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
And, since the Senate voted 51-49 to block more impeachment trial witness testimony on Friday, Republicans now say they have the votes to acquit on Wednesday.
