Sleepy Joe Biden Kicks off his 2020 Presidential Campaign

Share this article

Former Vice President Joe Biden kicked off his campaign for president Thursday with a boring and uninspired 3-minute social media video that blasted President Donald Trump as a racist – the same old baseless accusations that have been made over and over. He went on to say that Trump if he wins a second term would forever “fundamentally alter” the character of the United States of America.

Biden also said Trumps presidency amounted to an “abhorrent moment in time” and the country cannot accept another four years of President Trump’s policies. Oh really!

Funny thing is fellow Democratic candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed Socialist, said exactly the same thing about his own candidacy’s goal that would be to “fundamentally change” the character of the USA.

There is nothing wrong with the character of the USA that four more years of Trump wouldn’t strengthen. Just how does Biden or Sanders think they can trash the president’s policies that have resulted directly with a strong booming economy due to lower taxes and deregulation, historically low across-the-board unemployment rates, a record breaking stock market and rebuilding the nation’s military?

“Joe Biden has a chance to beat Trump, but he doesn’t have a chance,” said conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh. That pretty much sums up presidential campaign 2020.

None of the 20 announced Democratic candidates have what it takes to beat President Trump out of a second term. As things stand now the current president will stay in office another four years, it’s just that simple. Compare Trump’s accomplishments to the Democrats cries for higher taxes on the rich and everyone else, free universal single-payer healthcare costing trillions, free tuition at public colleges and cancelling $1-trillion in past student loans. The Democrat’s list of freebies-to-be is long and surely would ruin today’s robust economy brought about by the Trump Administration.

These wacky Democrats are holding firm on open borders, restoring voting rights for convicted felons, lowering the voting age to 16-years-old and eliminating the Electoral College.

Throughout Biden’s long political resume he is known as a regular guy who supports union workers and families across America. That was then, now is now and President Trump has moved in on Biden’s hold on representing average everyday people that work hard to bring home paychecks.

Soon after Biden’s announcement video was released President Trump posted on Twitter: “If you make it I will see you at the starting gate.” High energy Trump, 72, often refers to Biden, 76, as “sleepy Joe.”

As the Real Clear Politics polling averages stand now Biden has the support of 29.3-percent of Democratic voters while Sanders has 23-percent and U.S. Senator Kamala Harris is third with 8.3-percent for a total of 60.6-percent. The remaining 17 candidates share 39.4-percent. So its wide open as to whom the Democrats will finally nominate during the upcoming primary season. But whoever they nominate will have to face President Trump and his accomplishments head on. Standing there next to Trump during the national live TV debates and repeating old, worn out and false “racist rants” won’t cut it.

At this point in time all signs point to a strong win on Nov. 3, 2020 for President Trump and not “sleepy Joe” or “crazy Bernie.”
