Joe Biden’s Baggage Is Too Big To Ignore

Joe Biden is now the Democratic frontrunner, but there is a lot of time left in the primaries. And that’s a good thing. Biden has so much baggage that Republicans will have a field day if he becomes the nominee, and they are already trotting out all sorts of attacks on Biden since his Super Tuesday victories. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses the Biden Baggage and what it will do in a general election.

All right, with Joe Biden now officially the Democratic front runner, it's time to take a good hard look at what kind of a candidate Joe Biden is going to be and the reason I say that is because Republicans are already doing it. On Wednesday, day after Super Tuesday when Biden officially did become the front runner, Fox news programs were talking about Joe Biden's alleged dementia, his cognitive decline. They were showing clips from speeches where he didn't know what he was talking about, mocking him, making fun of him, which I do not think you should do at this point. But they're actually raising very serious questions, questions that, believe it or not, folks are going to resonate with the American public. Now, as I said, you should not mock Joe Biden or make fun of him for what's happening to him. But at the same time, I do firmly believe that we are witnessing cognitive decline. Last night I watched an interview from Joe Biden from 2016, it was shocking.

The man didn't stutter or stumble. He didn't not finish his sentences or finish his thoughts. He didn't say anything weird or crazy. He just gave a straight calm interview where he was able to articulate his thoughts incredibly well. And you compare that with what we see today and yeah, there's a big issue. There's a big problem, and Republicans less than a day, less than a day after he becomes the front runner are already running this nonstop. This is going to be the big campaign issue and that's just one of the many pieces of baggage that Joe Biden brings to this election. Baggage that the corporate media, other than Fox news, is ignoring. These are serious issues, folks. If we want this guy to have a shot at beating Donald Trump, we need to vet him properly and get these things out in the open while we still have two thirds of the delegates available and we can right this train. As I mentioned, that's just one of the pieces of baggage, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline. We have other things that Donald Trump and the Republicans are going to pounce on. For example, his vote for the Iraq war.

Most people now think that, hey, that's a really horrible thing that you did there and it's horrible that you even came back later and defended it. Trump didn't vote for the Iraq war and he is on record at the time saying he didn't support it. So in this particular instance, Trump is going to try to paint himself as the anti war candidate, and Joe Biden is going to be painted as the pro war candidate. Now we know it's not true, folks. We know that that is not true. Joe Biden doesn't have a good record on it, but Trump's not anti war by any stretch of the imagination. He's out there using drones and bombing and selling weapons. He is a pro war person. But we know that because we're plugged in, we do this on the regular basis. You're watching this video because you know and understand politics.

Majority of people in this country don't. They don't know that. So Trump's gonna run an ad calling Biden pro war, calling himself anti war, and most people in the public will never look beyond that ad. So that's a massive liability for Joe Biden.
