The near-certainty that the Democratic nominee will be Biden raises the specter of the Democrats coming back and picking up where Obama left off, only worse. We dodged that bullet in 2016. But the question has always been whether that … Continue reading →
Ah, how the worm hath turned! Biden was a nowhere man, and now he’s top of the world, ma, top of the world. The MSM is treating Biden like he’s the comeback kid. Well, he ain’t no kid, and although … Continue reading →
[NOTE: See update below.] Biden did very very well today, although there are no returns yet from the huge state of California and not all that many from Texas, which awards 228 delegates to California’s 415. It’s a funny thing … Continue reading →
