ICHEOKU says doing the same repeatedly while expecting a different result is insanity classically defined. The Democratic Party is approaching the 2020 presidential election in the same way they did with the 2016 and can only get the same result as they did in 2016. Like with nearly everything in the life, what you put in is usually what you get out; garbage in, garbage out.
Any other expectation is insanity as we live in a real world where what you sow is usually what you get. The Democratic Party cannot use the same road map they traveled with in Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential quest, in the current 2020 Joe Biden's presidential campaign and expect Joe Biden to land in a different place short of where Hillary Clinton landed in 2016. It will not happen as applying the same remedy to the same problem is always equals to the same outcome.
In 2016, against all flashing warning red lights, the Democratic Party power brokers and establishment insiders imposed Hillary Clinton on the party as its presidential candidate. Bernie Sanders could have easily won that election but their dislike of Bernie Sanders superseded the need to win the election and they went ahead and sacrificed that winnable presidency. Once again in this 2020, although not as strong as he was in 2016, Bernie Sanders was still the party base preferred choice and a much better candidate than Joe Biden to defeat Trump.
But again, the Democratic power base did not want Bernie Sanders flying their presidential flag and they went on to force Joe Biden on the party as its presidential candidate nominee. In both years the candidate who was more popular with the Democratic Party base was denied the opportunity to secure the party's presidential nomination, while the candidate who was less popular but who belong to the entrenched Washington DC establishment was foist on the party.
It is the same set of facts and circumstances and the eventual outcome will not be any different and so, as it was in 2016 so shall it be in 2020. This permutation is clearly understandable by every right thinking, dispassionate, non partisan person who is sincerely analyzing the chances of both candidates for the November 3rd presidential election. The two campaigns mirror each other and like Hillary Clinton did not make it to the White House in 2016, so will Joe Biden not also make it to the While House this 2020.
In 2016 instead of Hillary Clinton telling American people what she planned to do to make their lives better, was busy harpooning the then candidate Donald John Trump, chastising and lampooning him as an American deplorable with so many character flaws. But American people desired to hear from her how their lives will improve and become better under her presidency; how jobs would be created by her administration and how her government will keep them safe from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Hillary Clinton was not forthcoming with the answers and avoided every opportunity to reassure Americans that they will both fare well and be kept safe under her government. She avoided addressing their fears and continued to pile up on Donald John Trump's shortcomings. Donald John Trump on the other hand, provided some hope, assuring them, bringing forth propositions on how he will make their lives better and defend them from every harm whatsoever. His message was a soothing welcome relief and they hopped on his campaign train and cheered him on into the White House.
The 2016 election campaign scenario is again being played out in this 2020 as Joe Biden, strangely though, have borrowed the same book of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign and using it to the fullest. ICHEOKU says is it possible that Joe Biden does not even want to win otherwise, why adopt a formula that did not win and believing that the result will be any different now. Till date, all Joe Biden says as he campaigns is the same thing which Hillary Clinton said and which did not anchor her in the White House in 2016, how horrible Trump is.
But these are simply his opinion, not facts; as millions also believe that Trump is the best president ever. Such very subjective opinion is not necessarily shared by millions of American people who do not care if Trump actually is what Joe Biden's opinion said he is, provided he delivers on his campaign promises.
ICHEOKU says personal attacks do not win elections. What wins elections is a message that resonates with the people, in which many people agrees and then vest their hopes on. Such message has to do with the economy, the fight against the coronavirus disease, the threat by China and the domestic threat by some radical leftist groups including the Black Lives Matter. These four issues affect and concern majority of American people equally and these four issues will determine who wins the November 3rd presidential election. Campaign messaging based on these issues is what American people expect from both candidates and not Joe Biden rehashing whether President Donald John Trump is a "racist" or his color is "orange."
As far as American people are concerned the president can be whatever they want him to be and of any color they say he is, provided his focus remains on solving American peoples problem, it is alright by them and they will again vote for him to continue doing the good job which he is doing. Joe Biden is deluding himself thinking that there is an alternative route to the White House short of convincing American people that their lives will be better under his presidency. Without telling American people how he will improve and make their living situation better, Joe Biden stands no chance of being elected president. But instead of articulating these positive thoughts, he is busy attacking the president's character as if American people did not hear the same holier than thou refrain in 2016.
Joe Biden is also making another mistake which Hillary Clinton made in 2016, avoiding the press, staying away from media briefings and interactions. Hillary Clinton was a no show throughout 2016 on the media circuit as she avoided answering questions on the 33,000 deleted and breach washed emails, Benghazi scandal and of course the Clinton Foundation Ponzi scheme. American people then concluded that there must be something which she is hiding from them and which she does not want the public to know about her, the reason she was avoiding questions on her suspicious activities and they decided that she was too untrustworthy for the office which she sought to be elected president.
Joe Biden seems to not have learnt any lesson from this as he too is also avoiding questions on his son Hunter Biden's Burisma corruption scandal, the 1994 Crime Bill scandal, his anti homosexual comment that gay people are security risk to America, his soft spot and association with known unapologetically racists senators, his position on baby killings through abortions and a host of many other things.
The earlier Joe Biden mans up and confronts his past the better it shall be for his campaign as American people are now faced with two versions of Joe Biden, Version 1.0 and Version 2.0, which are both diametrically opposed to each other. They want to know which Joe Biden is currently seeking their votes for the White House and which Joe Biden they will get, should they decide to vote for a Joe Biden. Will it be the present hologram Joe Biden or the Joe Biden who spent 48 years in Washington DC without much to show for it. By avoiding the media, Joe Biden is also failing to articulate his counter positions to the president's positions, which will make it extremely difficult to distinguish between him and the president, whose position on a particular thing is better.
As is always the case, the candidate who is seeking to dislodge an incumbent has a steeper hill to climb in a campaign. He has more to prove to the American people that he is better and in order to persuade them to pull the plug on their incumbent president and get him into the saddle of leadership. But unfortunately, Joe Biden has not created this conversation with the American people, thus begging the question, what is his other secret game plan of getting elected into the White House short of going through the American people.
Lastly, the skewed presidential race poll numbers is not helping Joe Biden's quest. It is so exaggerated to fit a particular narrative and the American people are aware of this. They know the actual objective of the polls is to depress Trump's voters and make them feel so hopelessly vanquished that even trying is not an option. It was the same strategy in 2016 where every poll awarded the presidency to Hillary Clinton until November 8th proved all of them inveterate liars.
The same scheming is going on this 2020 and the margins they are awarding to Joe Biden is simply laughable, ludicrous and ridiculous. How can the Joe Biden, which everyone is seeing and hearing, on the Internet and sometimes when he makes above the earth appearance, a very weak, feeble and incoherent person, be beating President Donald John Trump and by those margins.Simply incredible and incredulous. No rational person believes those poll numbers because they are not correct, they are not true and they are rigged to achieve a particular objective.
But instead of achieving their desired goal of suppressing Trump's voters' enthusiasm, they will help get more of them to the voting booths as they vote to counter the never ending assault on America, as represented by Joe Biden's principal supporters, the Black Lives Matter group of anarchist and vandals. On November 3rd, Joe Biden will lose and President Donald John Trump will win as he is reelected for a second term. There is no way, rhyme and reason the same variables will not aggregate to the same result and as it was in 2016, so shall it be in 2020. #Vote4Trump. #4MoreYears.
