Hoverin’ Hillary still set to Swoop on Gropey Joe
She’s not done yet, despite refusing so far to repeat 2016’s doomed run against Donald Trump. Liz Peek presents the case for Hillary Clinton’s last-minute corpse-jumping entry into the presidential race.
She’s not done yet, despite refusing so far to repeat 2016’s doomed run against Donald Trump. Liz Peek presents the case for Hillary Clinton’s last-minute corpse-jumping entry into the presidential race.
It's all down to Biden's faltering rather than any grassroots desire to see America's first wife back in the White House:
Hillary Clinton continues to hover in the wings, ready to step forward should Joe Biden fail.
Don’t look now, but Joe is failing. Not only has his campaign been rocked by sexual assault allegations from one-time staffer Tara Reade, but the public is beginning to give up on the former vice president.
A new Emerson College poll showed 57 percent of likely voters think President Trump will win reelection in November …
That’s not the only problem that crops up in the Emerson Poll. It also shows Trump supporters 19 points more enthusiastic about their candidate than Biden supporters …
Also less than gung-ho about Biden is, predictably, Bernie Sanders’s army. Though the Vermont socialist has endorsed Biden, 51 percent of Bernie supporters are, according to Emerson, open to voting for a third-party candidate.
As Peek points out, lack of enthusiasm for Biden is evident in his declined fund raising:
According to the New York Times, Trump has a monster cash advantage of $187 million. Further, in swing-state polling, the presumptive Democratic nominee is running behind where Hillary Clinton stood at this point in the race, and we know how that turned out.
It could get worse for Biden, and quickly, once his protective US media allies finally ask him about that pesky Tara Reade situation:

Joe Biden has not been asked, nor has he responded at all to a single question regarding the allegation against him. https://t.co/ypsXc5sigO
UPDATE. The slogan was “believe ALL women":
“‘“Believe the woman†didn’t mean believe all women, all the time. But this is an era of slogans and we’re paying the price for that,’ said an adviser to one of the women under consideration [for VP]...†https://t.co/Pl05K0y0mf

UPDATE II. Compare CNN’s coverage of Trump appointee accuser Christine Blasey Ford to CNN’s coverage of Biden accuser Reade. Hit the graph for the full image:

UPDATE III:
Gallup: Trump job approval soars *thirteen net points* all the way back into positive territory at 49-47 (was 43-54)
