Joseph Robinette Biden is a man of the people. In 2009, the satirical magazine “The Onion” showed the Vice President how he in the driveway to the White house in his Pontiac Trans Am – an Image of a muscular sports car for rednecks – flash clean, washed, without a shirt and holding a can of beer. The photo montage spoke volumes: Joe is one of us!
Surely the “Opposition Research” evidence for Biden’s membership in the Covenant is find the white men. Image mounting: theonion.com
There is something in that: Biden grew up in modest circumstances in the town of Scranton in the state of Pennsylvania, and brings to the appropriate sensitivities. Now he will apply probably for the third Time to the American presidency. To do this, it needs to be a political retread, including a tribute to the spirit of the times.
Biden may be next to Bernie Sanders, the current favorite in the democratic field. But before he can compete with Donald Trump , he must pass the internal party primaries. You start in February 2020 in the Midwestern state of Iowa and will determine in the course of several months, the presidential candidate of the Democrats. And a redneck with a naked torso and a beer can in the Hand is probably just as little desire candidate of the democratic base as a grumpy “socialist” by the name of Bernie Sanders. Representative of the party is not so much white men of a certain age are – Biden is 76, Sanders, 77 – as, rather, minorities, Young and mostly women.

Joe Biden know. And that is why he complained on Tuesday, the “culture of white men”, which have dominated American society in the past, and violence against women. Joe Biden knows whereof he speaks: in 1991, he was Chairman of the male-dominated legal Committee in the Senate, that the African has made the American lawyer Anita Hill by Republican senators. She had accused Clarence Thomas, an African-American candidate for the highest court, of sexual harassment.
In the age of #MeToo it repenteth Joe Biden. Hill had “paid a terrible price,” he says. And: “I wish I could do something.” Biden refers to the fact that he had been heavily involved in a law on violence against women. Of the “culture of the white man” but he can’t break free.
The main election against Donald Trump in the summer and autumn of 2020, this would hardly be a disadvantage. Finally, the Republican President is a survival of a large figurehead of the “culture of white men”. And what has always regret Joe Biden in dealing with women: Trumps turbo sexist past, it will not be enough. Especially since the Ex-Vice President claimed that he could attract in the States, such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania better than any other democratic presidential candidate Trump voters from the lower middle class.
37 years in the Washington Senate
but Biden in the democratic primary against several talented women, African-Americans, as well as a charismatic Texan named Beto O’rourke. Apparently, Biden’s advisers are considering him as the African-American rising star Stacey Abrams – lost to 2018, just under the Governor’s election in Georgia as the Vice presidential candidate. So something rubs off on him?
the structure of The democratic preselector is not force Joe Biden’s only Problem: He is also terrible for a long time. From 1972 to 2009, he served in the Washington Senate, then he was up in 2017 Barack Obama’s Vice. In his Senate years, Biden gave his voice to this or that template, there is an almost endless list of Votes he had. From his democratic competitors will beat plenty of capital.
As Biden’s decades-long career is a dream for the dirt of the “Opposition Research finches”, as the targeted Rummage in the past of a political adversary. Certainly will find evidence of Biden’s membership in the Covenant of white men, so many others will see the light of day washed. To excuse this as a precautionary measure, with the dominance of the culture of white men and at the same time a Messenger of social change, may be smart. Whether it will be successful, will show the prefixes.
