Sanders Haunts Biden-Harris
Pence corners Harris on Biden’s embrace of the Vermont senator’s radical agenda.
By Kimberley A. Strassel
October 8, 2020
The Plexiglas at Wednesday’s vice-presidential debate made for some strange reflections. Squint hard enough, and you might even have seen the ghostly image of the evening’s third, silent participant: Bernie Sanders.
Debates rarely produce clear winners, though they often produce clear wins. Vice President Mike Pence’s victory of the evening was successfully exposing for viewers who is really running today’s Democratic Party. And give him credit. Just three weeks from an election, not one member of the Beltway media, including the debate moderators, has been willing to challenge Joe Biden on his leftward lurch. It was left to Mr. Pence to take the Bernie wraps off.
Kamala Harris had her good moments, but it was these exchanges on Mr. Biden’s agenda that were memorable for her nonanswers. And no surprise, since The Socialist Who Must Not Be Named poses the true liability for the Harris-Biden ticket. Mr. Biden rolled over for many of Mr. Sanders’s more radical policy ideas (and picked a lefty running mate) to keep the party peace. To broadcast this agenda now would risk scaring off middle-of-the-road Americans. But to disavow it risks alienating the progressive base Mr. Biden needs to turn out.
Which is why every Pence exposé of Biden plans left Ms. Harris responding with half-truths or nonanswers. Nowhere was this more on display than the vice president’s deep dive into the Biden energy plan, which has become a problem for a Democrat in search of blue-collars workers in states like Pennsylvania. “The both of you repeatedly committed to abolishing fossil fuel and banning fracking,” stated Mr. Pence. “That’s not true,” retorted Ms. Harris. But it is true, and Mr. Pence was able to provide the citations. “You yourself said on multiple occasions when you were running for president that you would ban fracking. Joe Biden looked his supporter in the eye and pointed and said: ‘I guarantee, I guarantee, that we will abolish fossil fuels.’ ” This is a clip any novice YouTuber can easily find.
Mr. Pence also pointed out that Ms. Harris is an original Senate co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, a Bernie-promoted $16 trillion regulatory straitjacket that would (among other things) get rid of coal, oil, natural gas, gas-powered cars and potentially cheeseburgers. That’s a campaign killer, even as it’s a litmus test for the left. Mr. Biden’s answer has been to claim disingenuously that the Green New Deal is the “crucial framework” for his own plan, which is nonetheless somehow “different.”
Even moderator Susan Page didn’t let that one go, and asked Ms. Harris to explain how her campaign can simultaneously tout the Green New Deal on its website and disavow it. Ms. Harris’s response was to talk about taxes, and wildfires, then the Senate Environment Committee. Mr. Pence referred to the Green New Deal 11 times; Ms. Harris not once—and you can bet smart voters noticed.
Mr. Pence called out the $4 trillion in tax hikes Mr. Biden would impose to pay for Bernie-style programs like free public-college tuition. Ms. Harris made the mistake of promising Mr. Biden would repeal the Trump tax cuts “on day one” while also promising he would “not raise taxes on anybody who makes less than $400,000 a year”—two statements that cannot both be true. “Is he only going to repeal part of the Trump tax cuts?” Mr. Pence quipped. The vice president also called out Mr. Biden’s timid history on fighting terrorism. Ms. Harris’s response? To complain Mr. Trump wasn’t nice to soldiers.
The stand-out moment of the debate (as even liberal commentators were forced to acknowledge) was Ms. Harris’s refusal—yet again—to come clean on packing the Supreme Court. Average Americans reject this; progressives demand it; the Biden campaign says it will explain its own view only after the election. Three times Mr. Pence challenged Ms. Harris to say whether a President Biden would add “seats to the Supreme Court, which has had nine seats for 150 years, if you don’t get your way.” Three times Ms. Harris dodged, along the way telling a canned but irrelevant story about Abraham Lincoln.
More than 20 million Americans watched Wednesday’s debate, and many were likely getting the facts about the Bernie-Biden agenda for the first time. Such is today’s media. The big question is whether Donald Trump was also taking notes. Granted, the president has a very different style than Mr. Pence. At the same time, the formula the vice president laid out is as simple as is it effective: Point out the Biden-Harris radicalism; contrast it to a positive Trump agenda.
The media intends to spend the next 25 days making every moment about Mr. Trump. While it goes against his instincts, Mr. Trump needs to make every one of those moments instead about Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris—their plans, their inconsistencies, their refusal to answer questions. Mr. Pence proved on Wednesday that this can done. But it will be up to the Trump campaign alone to do it.

The Democrats are blaming Trump for everything that isn't working. What a surprise!
Virtual DNC opens with speakers blaming Trump for woes in the U.S.
Speakers from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to Ohio’s former Republican governor John Kasich praised Joe Biden and pleaded with voters to set aside ideological differences to defeat President Trump.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••An interesting fact: Bernie Sanders is a socialist asshole. Capitalism makes him cry.

Fucktard Bernie Sanders is dropping out of the 2020 Democratic race for president. So for sure fucktard Biden will be the Democratic candidate even though he's a fucking moron, not to mention senile.
Bernie Sanders Is Dropping Out of 2020 Democratic Race for President
Mr. Sanders, a democratic socialist making his second run for the White House, will withdraw after a series of losses to Joseph R. Biden Jr., who emerges as the presumptive nominee for the general election.

More comments about why Trump will win the November 3, 2020 election.
Somebody who lives in Minneapolis wrote this comment at the New York Times:
It was critical for the democratic party to put forth a viable and exciting presidential candidate in 2016 and now 2020, yet they winnowed the nominees down to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and to Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders for 2020. Seriously?! Give me somebody that is worthy of a vote.

I wrote this comment at the New York Times:
Trump is going to win because his November opponent is senile. If the Democrats nominated the brilliant Mike Bloomberg, Trump would lose. Thanks to the Democrats we will be stuck with Trump another 4 years.

Americans in Illinois, Florida, and Arizona voted today. The socialist asshole, Berne Sanders, was wiped out.
New York Times:
Biden Sweeps Three States and Takes Commanding Lead, as Virus Reshapes American Politics
With a broad coalition, Joseph R. Biden Jr. defeated Bernie Sanders in Florida, Illinois, and Arizona, in a rout that could add to pressure on Mr. Sanders to end his campaign.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It's over with. Joe Biden is now, for sure, the Democratic candidate for president. The socialist moron, Berne Sanders, was wiped out. What a fucking asshole. Good riddance.
Joe Biden is 77 years old. He never was too bright and that's been getting worse.
His opponent on November 3, 2020, is Fucktard Trump, the uneducated moron.
The choice for American voters is fucktard against fucktard.
The Democrats could have elected the brilliant Mike Bloomberg, but billionaires make liberal morons cry.
Idiot America is fucked up and I don't think there is any cure.

The election is on November 3, 2020, and it will be Joe Biden against Fucktard Trump.
If Biden wins that would be a good thing.
If Trump wins, I will be able to say "I told you morons to vote for Mike Bloomberg."
Are another 4 years of Trump possible? I think that's going to happen. The Christian assholes will vote for Trump. The people who love their guns will vote for him. Some of the morons who liked the socialist asshole Bernie Sanders will vote for Trump.
I hope I'm wrong but what if Trump wins? Will there be more ridiculous trade wars? Will Trump destroy the planet? Will the rest of the world think Americans are morons? Will Trump become even more stupid than he is now?
I would just try to ignore Trump. I will try to avoid reading the news.

Sanders lost. Good riddance. What a stupid fucking asshole.
Today the stock market went way up, a huge gain, and it was because we now know the socialist asshole, Bernie Sanders, will never be our president and he won't be able to destroy the American economy.
Joe Biden will win the Democratic nomination. This is a for sure thing. Mike Bloomberg was defeated. The two socialist assholes (Warren and Sanders) were defeated. The election on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, will be Biden against Trump.
The election on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, will be Biden against Trump.
Trump is a fucking disaster. He is a fucking moron. His trade wars are ridiculous. He is wrong about everything. He doesn't know how to read so he watches TV all day and all night.
Can Biden defeat fucktard Trump?
I don't think so.
Trump will get all the Christian asshole votes because Trump (who is not religious) sucks up to them. Christian fucktards want to make America a Christian theocracy and Trump wants to help them do that.
Millions of other voters want to use powerful weapons to kill little bunnies. Trump is on their side.
I hope Biden gets the job but wishful thinking never works.
8 years of Trump would be a terrible thing but that's the way it's going to be.
Mike Bloomberg could easily defeat Trump but the Democrats are too fucking stupid to understand.

A comment someone wrote at the Washington Post. I agree with it. The morons for voted for Sanders will probably not vote for Biden. Here it is:
"The revolution may be stumbling, but Sanders supporters are not falling in line. They are going to be difficult or impossible to convert to Democratic voters in November, and without them, beating Trump is a long shot, to say the least. The Democrats have a humongous task ahead of them. Fortunately, Bloomberg will help."

The two socialists, Sanders and Warren, will never be the president. Thank goodness.
Warren needs to drop out. Her constant complaining about everything didn't work. Her dishonesty didn't work. Nothing worked. Good riddance.
Sanders, your favorite know-nothing children were not enough to win. Good riddance.
Bloomberg was the only candidate who could defeat Trump. Trump will defeat Biden.
8 years of Trump. What a nightmare but at least he isn't a socialist.

Joe Biden
Super Tuesday results:
Joe Biden is killing the socialist asshole, Bernie Sanders.
Mike Bloomberg is winning some delegates but he is behind Biden and Sanders.
I could never vote for a socialist moron but I could vote for Biden who used to be the Vice President when Obama was president.
Bloomberg has a better chance of defeating Trump and it's still possible he could win the nomination, but it looks like Biden is going to win it.
Bloomberg also has the advantage of being the best person for the president's job but the Democrats are too fucking stupid to be able to figure that out.
Thank goodness we will never have a socialist president. Sanders is even more fucking stupid than Trump.

A comment someone else wrote at the Washington Post about Mike Bloomberg and why he is the only candidate who can defeat Fucktard Trump.
"I think Bloomberg is the only one that Trump fears, and what he said on 60 Minutes Sunday nite is correct. I don’t care if he’s arrogant and rich; I just want somebody who can beat Trump; any other candidate Trump WILL eat their lunch. Our democracy is teetering on the edge of collapse; I like Biden but he seems too old and confused. He should have run in 2016. Sanders is just a wasted vote; he cannot get any moderates’ votes nor get anything done. The country just isn’t that far left. Bloomberg’s a fighter."
Bloomberg or Sanders = genius or moron
In America today is called "Super Tuesday" because voters in several states will be choosing the Democratic candidate they think can defeat Fucktard Trump.
This is a test for Democrats. Do they have a brain or are they the fucking morons I think they are.
In other words, will they vote for the brilliant Mike Bloomberg or will they vote for a socialist asshole like Bernie Sanders?

Why not elect the best person for the job? That would be Mike Bloomberg. This should be obvious to everyone who has a brain.

A normal person wrote this comment at the Washington Post about the socialist asshole, Bernie Sanders, and the socialist morons who will vote for him.
"They live in a dream world and cannot see what is right in front of them because of their hatred for the President. If the Democrats nominated a moderate like Bloomberg or even Kolbuchar they would have a good chance to win. Nominating an insane old socialist/communist with a bad heart who isn't even a Democrat will result in an overwhelming victory for Trump. When the choice was corrupt, privileged, old Clinton with no plans to make America better and Trump they chose Trump. They will choose Trump again although many of them would rather have a sane choice. This doesn't have to happen. The Democrats need to rid themselves of the extreme left-wing led by an outsider that dominates their party right now. Or else they will see conservative judges for the next 30 years."

I wrote this for the liberal morons at the Washington Post.
Bloomberg is the only candidate who is qualified for the job, but he has been very successful and liberals hate success.
Sanders, who is obviously not qualified for the job, will win because liberals like the way he screams. Then in November Trump will win easily.

Fucktard Sanders and Fucktard Trump.
Super Tuesday Primaries
I looked at the polls for March 3, 2020. The socialist moron, Bernie Sanders, is going to win in most of these states. If the polls are correct, it will be almost impossible to prevent this fucking idiot from winning the Democratic nomination.
If Sanders against Trump then it will be moron against moron.
I could never vote for a socialist asshole like Sanders. I would have to vote for the other moron, President Fucktard Trump.
It would be so nice if the brilliant Mike Bloomberg won the Democratic nomination but there is a problem. Democrats are fucking idiots. Successful people make them cry.

The Democrats need to nominate Mike Bloomberg whether they like him or not. Mike is the only candidate who can defeat Trump.

Imagine the worst-case scenario then bet on it.
In 2016 nobody imagined Trump would win the Republican nomination for president. When he won the nomination despite the odds, nobody imagined this celebrity clown would defeat Ms. Clinton.
What the fuck happened?
For the Republican nomination, there were many candidates. Trump didn't have to get most of the votes. He just had to get more votes than anyone else. And that's what happened because there were so many other candidates.
How did Trump defeat Clinton?
She made mistakes, especially when she insulted the people who wanted to vote for Trump. She called them "deplorables".
What about 2020?
Now we have the same problem. There are too many candidates for the Democratic nomination. This will make it possible for a socialist moron to win the nomination without having to win most of the votes. That stupid fucking asshole is Bernie Sanders. The people who have been voting for him are very young and very fucking stupid.
The worst-case scenario: The candidate for president could be Trump against Sanders (moron against moron).
If that happened then the voters would have to choose which moron to vote for.
I have extreme contempt for Trump. He is the stupidest president this country ever had. But if Sanders wins the Democratic nomination, then I'm voting for Trump.
8 fucking years of Trump.
March 3, 2020, is a big fucking deal because numerous states will be voting that day. Mike Bloomberg has to win most of those states or else this country is in big trouble. Are the Democrats as stupid as I think they are? We will see what happens.

This is from a transcript of the Nevada debate:
JACKSON: Mayor Bloomberg, you own a large company. Would you support what Senator Sanders is proposing?
BLOOMBERG: Absolutely not. I can't think of a way that would make it easier for Donald Trump to get re-elected than listening to this conversation.

It's ridiculous. We're not going to throw out capitalism. We tried. Other countries tried that. It was called communism, and it just didn't work.

New York Times article: Mike Bloomberg wants the other candidates to get out of the way so he can defeat the socialist moron, Bernie Sanders.
Michael R. Bloomberg was not on the ballot in Nevada. But his campaign was quick to weigh in on the victory of Bernie Sanders, saying it would spell doom for the Democratic Party in November.
In a statement, Mr. Bloomberg’s campaign manager, Kevin Sheekey, blamed a “fragmented field” of candidates for putting the Vermont senator on the path to the nomination. Implicit within those words was what appeared to be a warning shot to the other Democrats who remain in the race but are struggling to break through as the Sanders alternative: Drop out or Mr. Sanders will win.
“This is a candidate who just declared war on the so-called ‘Democratic Establishment,’” Mr. Sheekey added. “We are going to need Independents AND Republicans to defeat Trump — attacking your own party is no way to get started.”
