After watching and hearing the recent mumbles, stumbles and gibberish emanating from presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, I was reminded of a quote from heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis.  In 1941, Louis was to fight a lighter and faster opponent, Billy Conn.  The challenger announced he would use a “hit and run” strategy.  Louis’ famous response was,”He can run, but he can’t hide.”  Conn’s tactic worked for almost 13 rounds, before Louis knocked him out.  Given Biden’s current condition, I have come to the conclusion that he can hide, but he can’t run.  In the wake of the Wuhan virus, Joe Biden took to heart Delaware’s March “stay at home” order, and has been locked in his basement ever since.  I always suspected that Democrat governors were playing “follow the Leftist leader” with their repressive orders.  Delaware Governor Carney has admitted as much, “Neighboring states have taken similar actions, and we don’t want Delaware to become a destination for residents of other states seeking a more permissive environment.”  Translation – “We can’t permit people to escape to a State where the Bill of Rights is still in effect.”  It’s nice that Governor Carney considers Delaware “a destination” rather than just a toll road lying between New Jersey and Maryland.  Anyhow, Joe Biden remains locked in his basement.  On April 7th he even realized it, noting, “I know I’m locked in the basement.”  This prompted the Trump campaign to wonder, “Are they worried he will wander off and get lost?”  That seems to be a real possibility, because, during his infrequent video “basement-side chats,” Biden has repeatedly given the distinct impression that his elevator no longer goes to the top floor.  Biden conducted a disastrous virtual town hall meeting on March  20.  Forgetting that he called Trump’s January 31 China travel ban “xenophobic,” he claimed Trump didn’t act fast enough.  Pitching a nationwide shutdown, Biden explained, “Here is the point.  You don’t know who doesn’t have the virus.  So, a lot of people walking around looking like they’re pretty healthy and they may very well have the virus and transmit it.”  Huh?  On the air, Biden has made a series of blurt-outs, followed by disclaimers of his own words.  Of President Trump, he asked, “Why doesn’t he just act like a president?”  Quickly adding,  “That’s a stupid way to say it.”  When asked to elaborate, Biden decided, “No, probably best that I don’t.”  I guess he lost his place.  Again, Biden on Trump, “It’s like watching a yo-yo.  I shouldn’t have said it that way.”  Must have misplaced the cue cards.  Harkening back to the campaign trail, where he repeatedly told people he was running for the Senate, Biden explained his position on the Wuhan virus, “I insisted … well I didn’t insist, I suggested when it all started in Luhan province.”  Clear?  Biden is so confused that sometimes he slips and lets the truth come out.  Told that Trump’s approval rating had risen to 49%, Biden responded, “Well I hope that he’s so strong that he’s up way above that.”  Biden’s commentary often transforms into word salad, “And, in addition to that, in addition to that we have to make sure that we, we are in a position that we are, well let me go the second thing, I’ve spoken enough on that.”  Is it the first thing or the second thing, Joe?  While hosting Hillary Clinton on the basement-cam, Biden appeared to fall asleep.  Biden has confused Massachusetts governor Baker with Charlie Parker.  In the friendly confines of The View,  Biden reasoned, “We have to take care of the cure, that will make the problem worse, no matter what.”  Huh?  And Joe’s a constitutional scholar.  Here he is on the preamble to the constitution,“We hold these truths to be selfel-evident, all men and women created by, go, you know the, you know the thing.”  A far cry from the Gettysburg Address.  Apparently forgetting his recent pronouncement that China is not a risk to the U.S., and that his son is in business with the Chinese government, Biden warned, “We need to get tough with China.  China poses a serious challenge to us, and in some areas a real threat.”  Criticism of Biden’s mental state is coming from unexpected quarters.  Anti-Trump writer Ted Rall warns, that Democrats are “engineering the presidential election of a man clearly suffering from dementia.” Biden’s gaffes have prompted CNN and NBC journalist Steve Krakauer to write, “Look, I think we as a society should respect our elders.  But there’s just something wrong with Joe Biden.” After Biden’s Super Tuesday victories, Tucker Carlson noted, “As a smart friend said last night, Joe Biden has spent his entire life trying to succeed in presidential politics, and now he has:  Too bad he’s not there to enjoy it.”  Britt Hume has been even more blunt, “recently we have seen cases in which he didn’t know where he was.  Those are more disturbing because they suggest he may be non compos mentis.  Biden’s message doesn’t play well with millennial voters, “His social media presence is pathetic.”  A NY millennial said, “Vote for me to get rid of Trump” doesn’t resonate with him or his friends.  An ABC and Washington Post survey shows 53% of Trump supporters are very enthusiastic, while only 24% of Biden supporters are enthused.  That spells trouble.  On top of all this, pile the Tara Reade sexual assault accusation.  Biden denies it, but either can’t or won’t remember where Reade’s official Complaint was filed or has been stored.   Biden said it never happened, but then suggested that any records should not be released while he is running for office because, “they could be taken out of context … they could be fodder.”  Context?  Fodder?  This latest scandal has convinced more than 25% of Democrats that they need a new presidential candidate.   Joe Biden has shown a proven ability to hide in the basement, but he can’t run a presidential campaign in the light of day.  For my part, I hope Uncle Joe hangs on.  Once he gets in the ring with the current heavyweight champ, he won’t last 13 rounds.  He can hide, but he can’t run.
