Sarah Hoyt, a regular guest blogger at Instapundit, labels Democrat presidential challenger Joe Biden a “house plant.” Harsh maybe, but sorta fair, too.
My concern, which I’ve not seen elsewhere, is that there may be a significant number of voters (not including yours truly) who are tired of the sturm und drang of the Trump years - the “resistance” in Congress and the never-ending carping and Twitter storms on all sides. People who’d like to see lead news stories that don’t headline “Trump and Those Who Hate Him.”
Might they vote for House Plant Biden just to get some peace, figuring he will be the non-controversial, go-along-to-get-along guy he’s been most of his life? Obama proved we didn’t need a president; I worry there is nostalgia for those sleepy, boring years, a desire to return.
Trump has been a good president, but tends to make everything about himself. This has been politically valuable as he’s sucked up all the oxygen leaving little bandwidth for others. I am concerned his kind of over-exposure can wear out the audience. Hopefully, not before the end of the year.
