It has been reported in several places that President Biden is unhappy with his staff following around after him cleaning up and correcting his “misstatements” of both fact and long-held U.S. policies. They have an easy way to avoid his unhappiness, put away the pooper-scoopers and leave his faux pas out there for the press to step in.
The staff won’t do this, of course, because they care more about the Democratic Party than they do their boss, who was a compromise choice about whom few were excited. Left to his own devices, and free to ramble on extemporaneously, Biden would do the party (and himself) great harm.
They’ve left VP Harris to engage in uncorrected freeform word-salad and the results have been predictably awful. She was a terrible presidential candidate and, no surprise, is an equally bad VP.
Future historians may write of the “Biden rule” which is to select a VP running mate so inept even those who despise you will pray for your continuation in office. It may become Biden’s enduring contribution to our nation’s political lore.
