How are Democrats getting away with having Biden as a candidate?

Stephen Green:

Is Hidin’ Joe Biden the 1994 Crime Bill guy, or the #BLM and antifa guy?

The former veep and alleged Democratic presidential nominee might be up in the polls, but his campaign is being pulled in two impossible directions with a rudderless candidate stuck in the middle with little to do.

It isn’t easy to feel sympathy for someone like Biden, who has somehow grown rich without ever producing a good or service in the private sector.

The man who used his public “service” to enrich his talentless and ethically challenged son.

The man who can’t seem to keep his hands and nose off women who are not his wife, regardless of age or obvious discomfort.

The man who lies so casually and without consequence about his record and his life.

The man who turned his first wife’s tragic auto-accident death into a catapult for his own career, while publicly accusing the innocent driver of the other car of being drunk at the time.

You know, the guy currently getting a pass from the race-obsessed Democrat-Media Complex for his past protection of segregated private schools.

Black lives matter, I guess, but only until they try to get into the “right” schools.

But for the sake of fairness, we’re going to try to generate some sympathy for Biden, anyway — the creep.

We’ll fail, sure. But sometimes the glory is in the effort.

Biden’s campaign, such as it is, is being pulled in two directions at once — with a candidate caught in the middle who has grown so frail that moving competently in just one direction might be beyond his capabilities.

The first direction is the natural one for Biden to try and navigate, and the one he’s mostly pursued so far: Keep his head down while campaigning on a “return to normalcy” after four years of chaos under Trump.

It doesn’t matter if the chaos is mostly generated by the Left and not by Trump. As former Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker learned in his reelection loss a couple of years ago, sometimes voters will ditch the superior incumbent Republican in favor of the inferior Democrat challenger just to make the Democrat-caused headaches go away.

“Elect us and we’ll stop being such a nuisance” is essentially a protection racket, but we are talking about Democrats here.

“Elect Joe and he can make all that impeachment stuff and RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA talk ago away.” It’s a crap strategy, harmful to the Republic, but it’s the one Team Biden has been counting on all along.

...

There is more.

Democrats know he is a lousy candidate who has diminished capacity.  Their plan to push him over the line is to demonize Trump and mislead the voters.  They are being aided and abetted by thugs who are dragging down statues and destroying Democrat-controlled cities.  They are somewhat like the sheriff in Blazing Saddles who points his gun to his own head telling the mob to stop or he will shoot.
