Even before anyone ever heard of Hunter Biden’s laptop, Democrats were facing a marketing challenge unknown in the era of moving images: selling a candidate that no one -- with the possible exception of Jill “Edith Wilson” Biden -- could possibly be enthused about.
By any standard, especially by progressive Democratic standards, Joe Biden is a flaming mess. No Democrat of any age will have ever pulled the lever for a less attractive candidate. (Snip) Democratic leaders and their increasingly Pravda-like media allies know what a mess Biden is. In 2019, before he emerged as the candidate, they openly shared their misgivings.

The only good thing I can say about Joe Biden is that, regardless of party affiliation, he makes Bob Dole look like a great choice.

My Father called last night to inform me that he voted for the next President, Plugs Biden. He would've voted for Satan, as long as there was a (D) after the name on the ballot.

Walter "Dull" Mondale
Michael "Tank" Dukakis
John "F'n" Kerry
Hillary "Rotten" Clinton
Joe "Hunter" Biden
How do you find the lowest bottom-feeder among that group?

Democrats need secrets kept.
JFK's sexual appetites were never revealed. By WJC's time, Newsweek's spiking the Monica Lewinsky story was a scandal itself, but rather than signal a cleansing of the enabling media, it seems to have launched a decades long drive to bury the truth better and deeper.

And #4 we still don't know a great deal about Obama. Did he go to school as a foreign student, what's with the Connecticut SSN, who is "Pops" with whom you compared stains, etc.

Most dems will vote for anyone with a "D" after their name. In Boston one time, they even voted in a mayor (Curley) who was in jail at the time. So that "D" is their only criteria for most of them.
Does anyone remember the Blue Dog democrats? I guess they are a extinct species.

I have tried to look at Biden objectively and uncover why anyone thinks he would make a good president. Continually come up empty. He's way past his Best Sold By date, communicates poorly, has diminished stamina and mental acuity, and has a long record of political malfeasance. His campaign is a colossal bore and his running mate repulsive. And if he somehow wins, he'll be a lame duck on Day 1.

The Dem/Left control the media (he who controls the media, controls the message), and they --the media-- have been busily recreating Biden into a package that is pleasing and palatable to the segment of the population which sees itself as that which will save the world while being the most ill-informed, ignorant bunch of voters in the country.
This is how we keep degenerating as a civilization, how fewer and fewer people know their Constitution, who believe everything the tv says, or their favorite website that never induces THOUGHT, or the stupid late night talk shows whose pompous arse hosts market meanness and cruelty who make them feel smart.
And this is why when someone leaves the Dem/Left Party, he or she reveals the process of liberation like this: "Well... I started to think... wonder... question... maybe I should listen to what the other side is saying." And yet sadly, because our "education" system is failing at teaching children to think and reason, the non-thinker Party has grown over the decades.
The good news is that incredibly enough, it's the unlikeliest of men, Donald Trump, who has shaken things up such that the awakening processes have accelerated, and so we have something like a bunch of charged particles crashing into each other.
On the other hand, all of media are recreating Biden into an image that each voting group, especially the mushy middle, wants. So you get some floating "trial balloons" of Clinton fame, to test which words and concepts elicit the desired response; and they've got Hollywood and all of the entertainment industry, with knowledge in creating the scenarios, the plots, the surprising twists and turns. Biden is not senile, but it was good to let the Repubs present him as such, hiding in the basement... doddering, muttering incongruities, and then to have him emerge, and he is coherent! BUT, they must protect him from going into the ring without brass "knucks" hidden in his gloves, or from incorruptible referees. This requires controlling all of the props and characters: planted questions in the audience, choreographed media events, all media reading off the same script.
So what was on screen lasts night, while the news was swirling about the sleazy son, was a relaxed, chatty, smiling, warm and fuzzy, caring, problem-solving familiar face, carefully handled, sitting in a comfy chair, arm casually draped over the back. And you can hear those who wait til after Labor Day to pay attention, yeah, Joe will take care of me and covid.

They don't have to sell him. Just make sure some people see that he is alive and ambulatory.
Beyond that, the plan is to CHEAT, in any way possible, in order to 'win' the election.
Everything else is secondary at best.
It's the ONLY way that I can think of that would cause otherwise somewhat intelligent people ( one would hope, anyway ) to put Biden in place to run in this election and KEEP HIM THERE no matter what.
I think the plan has been, from day one, to win by fraud. Voters and the number of voters do not matter a bit.
Can they do it ?
Dear God in Heaven I hope not, but ...........................

Maximum effort by the ENTIRE media, and all of Big Tech, lying, cheating and stealing as hard as they can get away with.
I don't know if they can pull off this fraud, this travesty. I pray and hope not.
