With Harris's surge, Biden once again escapes the years-long GOP push to take him down

(USA Today) WASHINGTON – Thursday night in Chicago belonged to Kamala Harris, but the vice president’s triumphal and combative acceptance speech had one underlying source: Joe Biden.

President Biden wasn’t to be seen at the United Center on the last night of the Democratic National Convention while the balloons dropped on a beaming Harris, her slim polling lead widened and Donald Trump fumed on social media.

Still, Biden’s fingerprints were everywhere, taunting a GOP that thought it finally had him beat.

“They are incapacitated,” said Michael Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee. The GOP “doesn’t have the head space to adjust to Kamala Harris because Donald Trump is the head of the Republican Party.”

But our party's prospects are so much better now. The switch removed the risk of age and infirmity. Sad but that's the way it is.

He out smarted and outmaneuvered them in spectacular fashion while slitting their throats and the complicit media are trying to make it look like they had nothing to do with our current state of affairs.

Biden is still miles beyond the "thinking" of the MSM and that of the magat universe and they are trying to grasp at anything to keep from flushing themselves down the drain to the sewer pipe from whence they came.
