Really, we do not need a Democratic Donald Trump.Joe Biden’s campaign wanted to make Friday a celebration of the time Barack Obama chose him as his running mate.
But on the stump, the Democratic presidential candidate veered off message and posed an out-of-nowhere hypothetical: what if [Obama] had been shot?
"Imagine what would have happened if, God forbid, Barack Obama had been assassinated after becoming the de facto nominee?” Biden asked in Hanover, New Hampshire. “What would have happened in America?”
Politico
And THAT's how he thought he might connect?Biden’s question, which came at the tail-end of an otherwise normal speech, was aimed at a group of young Democrats from Dartmouth University, which a campaign adviser said was an effort to connect with young people and discuss the turbulence of the times when he was in college.
“I have one hero who was my dad, but I have two political heroes ... Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy,” Biden said. “My senior semester they were both shot and killed."
Who does he want assassinated this time?Biden brought up the question of Obama as part of a discussion about what causes young people to become politically involved. He said it was the assassinations.
Whew. No need for an assassination then.“Unless I’m mistaken, Donald Trump did for your generation what the loss of two of my heroes did for mine,” he told the students, adding, “What they did was make you realize, my God, we’re in trouble.”
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
