thepoliticalinsider--2020-01-30--Will Joe Biden’s Mistakes Overshadow His Experience

It ’ s clear in this sea of Democratic Presidential candidates that if Joe Biden fails to lock in the nomination , it ’ s nobody ’ s fault but his own .
Biden ’ s gaffes are often laughable , or even puzzling , like the odd stories he ’ s told about his youth : However his recent aggression towards voters on the campaign trail show a more volatile side to Biden .
Far from the friendly Joe of the Obama years who ’ s mistakes were usually more cringe-worthy than aggressive .
RELATED : Warren Wants to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watch this without laughing out loud : But lovable Joe Biden has shown a different side of himself ; conveying either a lack of inhibition gone wrong , or perhaps , and more likely , a glimpse into a deep-seated arrogance that has given way to hostility .
Watch the way Biden handles this man and takes hold of his jacket : The problem still remains for the Democrats that Biden is their best shot at even coming close to beating Donald Trump .
The former VP had the nomination teed up for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school athlete with a propensity to get into trouble who has a scholarship on the line – everybody around him is thinking , “ Just get through the year without getting in trouble and it ’ s yours.
” That kid usually decides to participate in a senior prank that involves stealing farm animals and putting them on the roof of the school at night , gets suspended , and loses his free ride .
All Joe Biden has to do is not put a goat on the roof , and he will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t help himself .
Biden has continued to argue with voters against the urging of his staff to move along , as heard in the video above .
He presumably refuses to fully prepare for debates and media events , based on his responses to attacks from his opponents , and his overall verbal fumbling .
Biden still has so much power over the other candidates , because as long as he ’ s moderately coherent and remains to appear confident in the wake of his mistakes – no one can beat his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact that he served as Vice President for Barack Obama for eight years , with no major discord made public by the press or the administration , puts him light years ahead of any other democratic candidate .
On paper , Joe wins .
Just read his resume compared to that of say , Elizabeth Warren or Pete Buttigieg .
Personality , presentability , and ethics aside , Biden should hands down be the nominee in this motley crew that has people subbing the phrase “ voter enthusiasm ” for “ voter confidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say .
Well , Bernie ’ s a long-time , self-proclaimed socialist and if I have any faith in the voting population of this country to recognize the dangers of socialism it will be extremely rocked if Bernie won the nomination .
I ’ m not that worried about it .
It seems in the end , we ’ re looking at Joe Biden vs. Elizabeth Warren .
Neither candidate is particularly trustworthy or captivating .
And Joe Biden ’ s resume may hold more weight psychologically with the American voting public than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discussing the so-called trust factor of each candidate .
In a recent survey from Quinnipiac University , the top trusted candidate was Sanders , followed by Biden , and then Warren .
Of course Sanders won “ most honest ” in this survey .
He is literally always admitted that he wants to take everyone ’ s money and spread it around as he sees fit .
No change in that platform .
You can trust Bernie to run the country off a cliff .
So unless I ’ m wrong about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of socialist policies ; Sanders ’ perceived honesty is a symptom of his maniacal radical views remaining consistent .
People trust Warren less than Biden , not because Biden is proven to lie less than Warren , but because they trust him to run the show .
They trust that he knows how to handle himself in the White House , to play it cool , and not run in the room with wild ideas about how to “ fix ” our entire economic system with a Robin Hood scheme .
Biden knows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in high intensity situations and standby and listen .
Warren is an intellectual egomaniac .
It ’ s her way or the highway , and she has a lot of ideas .
If Joe Biden ever became the President of the United States , moderate Democrats can trust , for the most part , that he won ’ t be bullied by the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agenda .
He won ’ t go radical .
Biden might pander to the far-left to keep things quiet , but if he were to become President , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policy-wise then from then when Obama was in office .
That scares conservatives , but is a relief to middle of the road Democrats .

Neither candidate is particularly trustworthy or captivating. And Joe Biden’s resume may hold more weight psychologically with the American voting public than we realize.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-05--Rob Reiner Has Profane Meltdown Over Rush Limbaugh’s Medal of Freedom Award

Minutes after President Donald Trump awarded the legendary talk show host Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom during his State of the Union Address , Hollywood leftist Rob Reiner had a complete meltdown .
“ Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal of Freedom at The State of the Union : I loathe this f****** man , ” Reiner tweeted .
No one should be surprised over the Hollywood director ’ s heartlessness .
Limbaugh was in tears as he received the Medal of Freedom from First Lady Melania Trump .
It is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a civilian in the U.S .
The moment was no doubt especially emotional for the radio legend because it occurred just one day after he announced during his program on Monday that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer .
“ I wish I didn ’ t have to tell you .
It ’ s a struggle for me because I had to inform my staff earlier today .
I can ’ t escape , ” Limbaugh said .
“ Even though people are telling me it ’ s not the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t help but feel that I ’ m letting everybody down with this , ” he continued .
“ But the upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer , diagnosis confirmed by two medical institutions back on January 20th .
I first realized something was wrong on my birthday weekend , January 12th.
” “ There are going to be days that I ’ m not going to be able to be here , because I will be undergoing treatment , or I ’ m reacting to treatment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t the only Hollywood liberal to attack Limbaugh on Tuesday night .
“ I ’ m a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient , man .
Front me 50 pills ?
” — Rush to his Oxy dealer tomorrow , ” actor Patton Oswalt tweeted .
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is given at any president ’ s discretion and can be given to everyone from actors to entertainers .
It is not an award at the heroic military level by any means .
Legendary folk singer Bob Dylan has one , for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He also gave Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep Medal of Freedom awards as well .
Rush Limbaugh has been a fighter for conservatism and Donald Trump .
President Trump had every right to give him this reward as he now battles a deadly disease .
Shame on Rob Reiner and anyone else who would begrudge Rush that .

No one should be surprised over the Hollywood director’s heartlessness.
An Emotional Award for Rush
Limbaugh was in tears as he received the Medal of Freedom from First Lady Melania Trump. It is the highest award that can be given to a civilian in the U.S.
The moment was no doubt especially emotional for the radio legend because it occurred just one day after he announced during his program on Monday that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
“I wish I didn’t have to tell you. It’s a struggle for me because I had to inform my staff earlier today. I can’t escape,” Limbaugh said.
“Even though people are telling me it’s not the way to look at it, I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down with this,” he continued. “But the upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, diagnosis confirmed by two medical institutions back on January 20th. I first realized something was wrong on my birthday weekend, January 12th.”
“There are going to be days that I’m not going to be able to be here, because I will be undergoing treatment, or I’m reacting to treatment,” Rush added.
Disgusting Liberals
Reiner wasn’t the only Hollywood liberal to attack Limbaugh on Tuesday night.
“I’m a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, man. Front me 50 pills?” — Rush to his Oxy dealer tomorrow,” actor Patton Oswalt tweeted.

Legendary folk singer Bob Dylan has one, for example, given by President Barack Obama. He also gave Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep Medal of Freedom awards as well.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-05--Here Are The Top Three Reasons Dem Leaders Hate To See Anyone Successful In America!

There are actually several reasons why liberals want to destroy this great country called America .
First , America is a capitalist nation that has proven this economic system is the best available .
More people , especially in America , have prospered through capitalism than socialism , feudalism , or any other financial system .
The liberals hate it when other people thrive .
It goes against their view that they should be the ones with the power to distribute the wealth to the masses as they see fit .
Liberals are elitist vermin who have a vast superiority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t have total control over us .
Secondly , America is a free country with guaranteed freedoms under our beloved U.S. Constitution such as free speech ( an idea the liberals hate , look at FascistBook , Twitter , Google and other Big Tech sites ) , the right to own a firearm ( THE most hated right by liberals ) and a host of other freedoms the liberals loathe .
Lastly , the liberals want to destroy America because it fits into their failed and oppressive narrative of Marxist-Leninist beliefs of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at liberal philosophy , it smacks of totalitarianism either through the lust for power and control or through misguided altruism .
Either way , liberals want to destroy America and want to launch a Stalinist slave state with them in power over the rest of us peasants .
Here is the question that needs to be asked of all democrat candidates .
Capitalism is a natural , hierarchical system based on ability , or talent or merit .
Socialism , Communism , and Progressivism , i.e.
, Leftism , is based only on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leftist movement today is led by feminists and “ FemiNazis.
” It is a leftist goal to have everyone think alike in a dictated ideological bubble .
Contrary views are an irritant to this hive mind as leftist power grows like a destructive hurricane feeding on demographic power released by fracking national borders .
The left ’ s views become a new norm that makes cognitive dissonant irritating opposing views a shrinking bubble .
The walls are closing in .
The left insists that you not be heard .
There is more restrictive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or comments vanish without explanation .
We have all been indoctrinated by our former “ teachers ” to some extent , beyond those who taught the basics of reading , writing , arithmetic .
What is alarming is the seeming incuriosity of today ’ s students , particularly in higher education , to even question the status quo .
They are beyond indoctrinated ; they are wholly brainwashed never to question what they are taught and to lash out at anyone who asks their beliefs angrily .
MORE NEWS : Rand Paul Says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if Impeachment Was Rigged from Beginning We must push hard to stop colleges and universities from prohibiting free speech and alternative views from being presented on campus .
These people are afraid that if their robot students hear the truth or alternative aspects , their hold on them may collapse .
Our colleges and universities have become toxic and poisonous to young minds .
Trump stands in the way of the leftists and globalists whose target is us .
We , the people .
We need to go – and must go to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.N. comes to establish a “ protectorate ” in your area , do not obey their orders , nor follow anything that has to do with them .

AOC Announces She Is Boycotting The State Of The Union – Doesn’t Want To ‘Normalize Trump’s Lawless Conduct’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-N.Y. , revealed on Tuesday afternoon that she will not be attending President Donald Trump ’ s State of the Union address tonight because she does not want to play a role in normalizing what she sees as his criminal conduct .
“ After much deliberation , I have decided that I will not use my presence at a state ceremony to normalize Trump ’ s lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution , ” the freshman congresswoman tweeted .
“ None of this is normal , and I will not legitimize it .
Consequently , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Union.
” Though she had no problem accusing the president of the United States of being a criminal , she followed this up with a second tweet in which she appeared to stop short of shaming her fellow congressmen and women for choosing to attend .
“ This is a deeply personal decision for each member to make , and a choice I did not take lightly , ” she added .
Ocasio-Cortez , who has been one of the most outspoken critics of Trump since taking office , is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be boycotting his State of the Union speech .
Maxine Waters , D-CA.
, also took to Twitter today to gleefully reveal she would be skipping the speech as well .
“ To think that I would attend the # SOTU to hear the message of an IMPEACHED president is a thought that in no way would be consistent w/ my fight and struggle against this dishonorable president , ” she wrote .
“ I will certainly NOT be there !
” Ocasio-Cortez ’ s fellow “ Squad ” member Ayanna Pressley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in attendance .
“ The State of the Union is hurting because of the occupant of the White House , who consistently demonstrates contempt for the American people , contempt for Congress & contempt for our constitution .
I can not in good conscience attend tonight ’ s sham # SOTU , ” she tweeted alongside a photo of herself at the Capitol .
Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley are part of a “ Squad ” of young female congresswomen that includes Ilhan Omar , D-Minn. , who has somewhat surprisingly decided to forego taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She wrote that she would be in attendance at the speech after saying that Trump is “ not legitimate ” as a president .
“ I am attending tonight ’ s address not to confer any legitimacy on his actions , his statements , or his presidency , ” Omar tweeted .

’ My presence tonight is resistance.
” The level of disrespect that is being shown to the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Had Republican lawmakers treated Barack Obama this way , they would have been shamed by the media and accused of racism .
Since it is Democrats doing this to Trump , however , these congresswomen are facing virtually no backlash for their actions .
Ocasio-Cortez and her colleagues are just bitter that their efforts to impeach Trump have failed .
It ’ s a shame that they can ’ t put their disdain for the president aside for one night for the sake of the nation .

“After much deliberation, I have decided that I will not use my presence at a state ceremony to normalize Trump’s lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution,” the freshman congresswoman tweeted. “None of this is normal, and I will not legitimize it. Consequently, I will not be attending the State of the Union.”

Though she had no problem accusing the president of the United States of being a criminal, she followed this up with a second tweet in which she appeared to stop short of shaming her fellow congressmen and women for choosing to attend.
“This is a deeply personal decision for each member to make, and a choice I did not take lightly,” she added.
This is a deeply personal decision for each member to make, and a choice I did not take lightly. I will be hopping on Instagram Live later this evening to connect with my constituents and follow up with their questions about #SOTU. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 4, 2020
Ocasio-Cortez, who has been one of the most outspoken critics of Trump since taking office, is not the only liberal member of Congress who will be boycotting his State of the Union speech. Maxine Waters, D-CA., also took to Twitter today to gleefully reveal she would be skipping the speech as well.
“To think that I would attend the #SOTU to hear the message of an IMPEACHED president is a thought that in no way would be consistent w/ my fight and struggle against this dishonorable president,” she wrote. “I will certainly NOT be there!”

Ocasio-Cortez’s fellow “Squad” member Ayanna Pressley, D-MA., will also not be in attendance.
“The State of the Union is hurting because of the occupant of the White House, who consistently demonstrates contempt for the American people, contempt for Congress & contempt for our constitution. I cannot in good conscience attend tonight’s sham #SOTU,” she tweeted alongside a photo of herself at the Capitol.

Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley are part of a “Squad” of young female congresswomen that includes Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who has somewhat surprisingly decided to forego taking part in her friends’ boycott. She wrote that she would be in attendance at the speech after saying that Trump is “not legitimate” as a president.
“I am attending tonight’s address not to confer any legitimacy on his actions, his statements, or his presidency,” Omar tweeted. “I am attending on behalf of all of those targeted by this President to say, ‘We are greater than hate.’ My presence tonight is resistance.”

The level of disrespect that is being shown to the president of the United States is truly staggering. Had Republican lawmakers treated Barack Obama this way, they would have been shamed by the media and accused of racism. Since it is Democrats doing this to Trump, however, these congresswomen are facing virtually no backlash for their actions.
Ocasio-Cortez and her colleagues are just bitter that their efforts to impeach Trump have failed. It’s a shame that they can’t put their disdain for the president aside for one night for the sake of the nation.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-04--Initial Results Give Buttigieg Win in Iowa Democratic Caucuses

Young Mayor Pete Buttigieg seems to have won the Democratic Iowa caucuses .
Sanders came in second .
There is 62 % of the vote in 99 counties reporting in .
This is a tremendous defeat for Joe Biden .
Even these results aren ’ t final , as 38 % is more than the margin between victory and defeat .
But this is what we have right now .
But given the delayed fiasco that was this caucus , the win has more asterisks than a Taco Bell public health inspection .
The current initial result has Buttigieg with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanders .
Elizabeth Warren placed third at 18.3 % .
Biden fourth at 15.6 % .
The winner takes the most delegates to the national convention in the summer .
41 delegates are up for grabs .
In the Democratic Iowa caucus system if a candidate did not get 15 % in the first round they dropped out and their supporters voted for someone else .
The Iowa Democratic Party calls it “ realignment.
” So , second and third choices mattered in Iowa for the Democrats .
Buttigieg did very well because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second and third realignments .
The Democratic campaign has been hard fought , as numerous confused candidates crisscrossed the state pathetically imploring Democratic voters to support them in small caucuses all across Iowa .
Heavy turnout was reported in urban areas at first .
Nevertheless by the end of the evening all numbers and stats had been thrown out the window .
But in the end it was the Buttigieg ground game and moderate appeal that put him over the top .
Expect now one or two candidates to drop from the field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bennet may be the first to go .
But possibly not the last .
Donations and pledges of support will now flow to the mayor ’ s campaign at a good time for the effort .
However , the bizarre outcome of the process will retard that advantage .
The Buttigieg campaign will need every penny and all the volunteers they can muster to win the upcoming New Hampshire primary next Tuesday on February 11th .
In that contest Bernie Sanders from Vermont and Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts will be close on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ momentum .
If Buttigieg should take Iowa and New Hampshire he could be harder to stop going into the early March Super Tuesday set of southern primaries .
Southern Democratic voters are more moderate than other voters of that party .
That could help Buttigieg .
And waiting for him in south , is capitalist mogul Michael Bloomberg .
But New Hampshire has a history of favoring challengers .
Gene McCarthy ’ s performance in 1968 and Pat Buchanan ’ s win in 1992 come to mind .
As such , regardless of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nowhere near being decided for one candidate .
This is especially true given the unmitigated disaster that was the Iowa Democratic caucus .
The Democratic political blood letting will thus continue , much to the satisfaction of President Trump .
We will update with final figures when they are available .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-05--Gabbard: DNC ‘Rigging Primary’ in Favor of ‘Billionaire Candidates’

Representative Tulsi Gabbard just released a statement saying that the DNC and “ party establishment ” are “ rigging the primary process for billionaire candidates.
” “ They Will Do Everything to Silence Us ” “ Thousands of people turned out to cast the first votes of this presidential primary in the Iowa Caucuses last night , ” Gabbard said .
“ Unfortunately , the voices of the people of Iowa have yet to be heard as the vote count continues , leaving voters frustrated and without the transparency and integrity in this process that they expect and deserve.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was clear to her that “ the corporate media , the military-industrial complex , and the party establishment are threatened by [ her ] message , because it challenges their grip on power.
” The DNC and their cronies “ will do everything to silence us , while also rigging the primary process for billionaire candidates who think they can bypass the kind of grassroots campaigning that is the fuel of our movement , ” Gabbard continued .
RELATED : Hillary Clinton Refusing to Be Served Documents in Tulsi Gabbard ’ s Lawsuit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
Gabbard ’ s statement follows a rule change by the DNC last week , that removed the individual-donor requirement for candidates to appear on the Democratic debate stage .

Representative Tulsi Gabbard just released a statement saying that the DNC and “party establishment” are “rigging the primary process for billionaire candidates.”
“They Will Do Everything to Silence Us”
“Thousands of people turned out to cast the first votes of this presidential primary in the Iowa Caucuses last night,” Gabbard said. “Unfortunately, the voices of the people of Iowa have yet to be heard as the vote count continues, leaving voters frustrated and without the transparency and integrity in this process that they expect and deserve.”
The Representative from Hawaii said that it was clear to her that “the corporate media, the military-industrial complex, and the party establishment are threatened by [her] message, because it challenges their grip on power.” The DNC and their cronies “will do everything to silence us, while also rigging the primary process for billionaire candidates who think they can bypass the kind of grassroots campaigning that is the fuel of our movement,” Gabbard continued.

Gabbard’s statement follows a rule change by the DNC last week, that removed the individual-donor requirement for candidates to appear on the Democratic debate stage. This seemed to be targeted at allowing billionaire gun-grabber Michael Bloomberg to take part, as his campaign is entirely self-funded.

After the State of the Union address Tuesday night , CNN commentator Van Jones warned Democrats that President Donald Trump was helping African Americans “ in real life ” and was actively reaching out to them for votes .
Jones noted that the president cited several measures to specifically help African-Americans .
“ What he was saying to African-Americans can be effective , ” Jones said .
“ You may not like it , but he mentioned HBCUs [ historically black colleges and universities ] — our black colleges have been struggling for a long time , a bunch of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lifeline to them , in real life , in his budget .
He talked about that .
He talked about the criminal justice reform .
He talked about opportunity zones .
He talked about school choice.
” Democrats failed to report results of Monday ’ s first , crucial presidential primary contest , the Iowa Caucus .
As of Wednesday morning the full results are still not in .
Jones noted that Trump ’ s State of the Union address came in the wake of Democrats ’ completely flubbing Iowa caucuses .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ said on the CNN panel , adding : “ WAKE UP , folks .
The # IowaCaucus was a debacle , followed by a strong # SOTU speech laying out Trump ’ s strategy to win – which includes going for Black voters .
This was a warning shot from the Trump campaign to liberals , and we need to take this VERY seriously in order to win.

President Trump paid tribute to several African-American guests and heroes during his SOTU , including Tuskegee Airman Charles McGee , Army Veteran Tony Rankins and fourth grader Janiyah Davis , who he awarded an Opportunity Scholarship .
Jones is not wrong that President Trump heavily emphasized issues of importance to African Americans in ways that Democrats ignore at their own peril .
Will it help re-elect him in 2020 ?
Time will tell .

Will it help re-elect him in 2020? Time will tell. In the meantime, especially after the Iowa Caucus, Democrats continue to be their own worst enemy.
This happened with Obama. 2012, after the Tea Party wave, my Republican friends said “we’re gonna knock him out” and I said “no you’re not – that’s our GUY.” Trump’s base seems to feel the same now. We have a chance to beat Trump, but we NEED to set emotions aside and get smart. pic.twitter.com/bZldhlRkAZ — Van Jones (@VanJones68) February 5, 2020
