Joe Biden Campaign Strategy: Hide Biden, Stoke Chaos, Obstruct Recovery

Stoke chaos, obstruct economic recovery, and hide Biden in the basement till Election Day.

We recall the former sane/nutty Biden of Neal Kinnock plagiarism, his "Put y'all in chains" demagoguery, the studied racism of Biden's riffs about a "Clean" and well-spoken Obama, and the sane/insane Corn Pop stories.

Dementia is also about the only valid reason one can legitimately say "I don't remember." So ask Joe Biden about those early January 2017 strategy sessions in which Obama, Biden, and their henchmen plotted the surveillance of the Trump campaign and the destruction of Michael Flynn - and he can honestly say, "What administration?" Ask Biden about his illiberal past statements, his associations with neo-Confederate senators, or his plagiarism, and without guile he can retort, "What? What plagiarism? What senators?" Burisma? Hunter Biden's Chinese lucre? He will look dumbfounded and turn to an aide to ask, "What is Burisma and who is Hunter?".

In contrast, even a cardboard-cutout version of Biden offers them the veneer of the "Moderation." A Bill Clinton-style Biden phantom, if elected, can allow a passageway for a leftist surrogate into the presidency, the same way that Harry Truman, a centrist, was put on the ticket in 1944 to save the country from Vice President Henry Wallace's Communism.

With a wink and nod, the vice-presidential candidate will be seen as assuming the presidency and giving to the Left what they could not achieve through a presidential election - while old Joe Biden from Scranton stares at the TV screen a bit longer to prove he's not a raving socialist.

A hard-left candidate for vice president will have to do the campaign messaging as a public auxiliary of, and in line with, Joe Biden.

What if Biden, say, on October 25, 2020, has one of his blank-outs? Or what if he announces once again, but this time at his final rare press conference: "I am going to beat Joe Biden!" What then? Do they call Christopher Steele out of retirement to do a hasty file on Joe Biden, the delusional nut, and use Yahoo or Mother Jones again to leak the dirt in order to switch the order of the Democratic ticket?
