Biden turmoil @LizPeek
Image: Biden and China’s leader Xi Jinping (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping) raised a toast at a State Dinner in September 2015 Elizabeth Peek, TheHill and Fox News; in re: The politics of the Wuhan flu. The Democratic nomination looks to be entirely in the hands of someone who, as well as I know, has said nothing about the future; only about the past. He’s said to be well-liked in Washington. What is the vice-president campaigning for? I spent a lot of time reviewing Biden’s policies; we’ve been calling him “moderate”—which he is only compared to Bernie. He wants to hike taxes by $4 trillion, and spend trillions in a green new deal, raise minimum wage, make it much easier to unionize, and get rid of people’s ability to choose whether or not to join a union. As he has to face Donald Trump, he may have a lot of explaining to do. Am not sure that people will be happy to learn that their taxes will go up. Will his vice-president be an afterthought? Not at all. People are worried about Joe Biden’s mental condition—“his cognitive decline” as he mixes up people, places, and times. This is worse than the old gaffes: when you don't know what state you’re in or can’t form a proper sentence, this is [a matter of concern.] His VP will act as president. John McCain had this issue; the New York Times and others were concerned about his melanoma at age 72. Biden is 78.
