ICHEOKU says former Vice President Joe Biden is tired and needs to retire from politics, period. He is not the best choice for the Democratic Party's presidential nominee for 2020 because he will not win the election and if he will not win, what is then the use of forcing his candidacy on the party, why the gamble? Why not give the country a real choice and rather lose with such a choice, than fronting the same guy who was rejected alongside Obama and Hillary Clinton in the November 8th, 2016 election.
Joe Biden is increasingly looking and sounding like a sullen, melancholic undertaker, rather than an inspiring president wanna be and leader of the free world. His glorious days are way long gone and behind him; since gone with the wind of time. Joe belongs in the past and is not a candidate of now as America is a forward looking and forward moving nation, which does not dwell in the past. Therefore Americans will vote to reject such a relation back candidate because Joe Biden is not what Americans need right now. He is simply too old and so dated and so analog to be competitive in the 21st century American presidency. A man who was first elected into office and sent to Washington DC in 1972 is indeed TOO OLD to remain in Washington DC, period.
ICHEOKU makes bold to state that the once affable, aviator-sunglasses wearing, spring-stepping Joe is no more. What now passes for the then Amtrak riding Senator from Delaware, the Joey from Scranton, is but a shadow of his former ebullient self. You can blame it on degradation of cells by aging and so many family tragedies, both of which has a way of taking a drastic toll on their victims and Joe is unfortunately in their bull's eyes. The former Vice President has so much aged since leaving office that the "SHE" in Sir Richard Ryder Haggard's novel of the same title 'SHE'; the she who must be obeyed, could find solace in Joe Biden over what happened to her when she went back to the cave for a second bath in the youth assuring lake of fire.
Joe Biden has lost coherency of thought that he now labors through speeches that even ordinary pronunciations are now becoming difficult for him. His smile is wry; there is no more spring in his steps; there is no more twinkle in his eyes and his stage presence is greatly diminished. Unlike Low Energy Jeb Bush, Joe Biden has no energy at all to say the least. Joe Biden is also no longer inspiring, thus begging the question what utility is it about him that is driving the Democratic Party's push for him to emerge as the party's presidential candidate nominee. Joe Biden is also too big to be humble and will not apologize to women who he invaded their space as well as to black people.
A matter made worse because those who are engineering his nomination, have repackaged and pigeonholed him into only a lips-moving robot, who only recites whatever they placed in front of him, without allowing him any original thoughts or input into what he is made to rehash. It is so sad watching Joey be so straightjacketed and conscripted that he is not even allowed to ad-lib his attacks on President Donald John Trump. Everything Joe says of thinks must first be written for him, vetted and approved before he is carefully managed through its reading. It is so disheartening watching Joe Biden labor through his remarks, seeing his furrowed forehead and askance expression on his face, as he pauses many times on some lines, in what appears to be his asking himself, "should I read this, should I read that aloud?"
A matter made worse because Joe Biden is only rehashing and re-litigating a personality flaws-attacks of the president, which an all American jury sat on, last November 8th, 2016 and returned a verdict of acquittal by his election. Thus begging the question what is the utility of a denovo trial of the same president based on his personal attributes, which American people had already ruled on as irrelevant. ICHEOKU would think that the Democratic Party having lost that argument previously with Hillary Clinton, would punt to some more winnable argument this time around with Joe Biden, such as enumerating the things which they would rather do differently to help the American people with their basic dinner table concerns.
A progressively, proactive partisan would be taking to the shredders President Trump policies and explaining to the American people why they are bad for them and how he will improve and make them better and in some cases reverse course. The Democratic Party and their Joe Biden are not even talking about the healthcare which helped them win back the House of Representatives in the 2018's Mid Term election. They are not addressing the issues of concern to the American people such as the Southern border crisis, immigration reform, foreign policy issues of Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia and China, especially China's trade imbalance. Rather, it is how President Donald John Trump is a racist and Joe Biden isn't; notwithstanding his many antecedents which suggests otherwise, including that Obama was the only clean and articulate black man ever and that he is proud that his Delaware State is a slave State.
Anyway, although some critics might say that such issues-based campaign is premature at this stage of party's nomination, but how else will a front runner truly and convincingly emerge without explaining to the electorates what he will do differently better than the president, for which reason, he seeks the nomination of the party. But the Democratic Party does not want to go there, to truly vet their nominee fairly and freely since they have decided to make Joe Biden their nominee, hence the micro-managed nomination process which is going on. None of the other contestants is even allowed a free hand to attack Joe Biden or call him out to defend his records; and you wonder, why such a nomination-coronation charade, instead of just declaring him opposed and save everybody the trouble of going through the rituals of campaigns and debates. Like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden is yet another mistake of not allowing a true choice of the people to emerge, which will again eventually cost the Democratic Party the White House come November 3rd, 2020.
ICHEOKU says sadly, if a Joe Biden without a message is all that the Democratic Party have going into 2020, thinking to defeat President Donald John Trump, they are indeed mistaken. They will be running on empty and on a mission impossible going forward and racing into 2020. American voters are discernible voters and they would like to know how the tax cut is bad for the economy, how millions of created jobs hurts Americans, how the many businesses which are moving back to America is bad for the country, how not bombing Iran is bad for America, how low unemployment rate hurts America, how finally moving American embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing it as Israel's eternal capital is bad foreign policy. American people want to know what the Democrats would do if Kim Jong Un restarts firing of his rockets or Iran does a number on American interests in the Middle East.
These issues and not whether President Donald John Trump is an "existential threat" to the United States is what matters to the American people. Therefore it is an arrant fallacy of nonsense for Joe Biden to raise this issue because no body is and Joe Biden fully knows this; but he chose to smear just to satisfy his possessed fanatical audience, in accordance to the talking point of the Democratic Party. Therefore absent things which would help improve the lives and living standards of the American people, the Democratic Party will suffer the same fatality of a Hillary Clinton 2016 lost presidency with Joe Biden come 2023. Like Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton of 2016, Joe Biden will be end up being just another Democratic Party's presidential candidate, without any rallying winning message, but a hatred of the president.
Such is not a winning formula and he will not go anywhere close to unseating the president on November 3rd, 2020. Like Hillary Clinton proved in 2016 that name recognition and hatred for the president alone, without any convincing message, does not win presidential election; so will the Democratic Party also find out and be similarly disappointed with Joe Biden, come November 3rd, 2020. ICHEOKU says Joe Biden is not the answer to the Trump question and the earlier the Democratic Party allow the nomination process to produce a real peoples choice, the better it will be for them in their desperate desire to unseat President Donald John Trump; otherwise their foisting Joe Biden on the party's ticket will spell doom for them as they will only help to reelect President Donald John Trump. #SAYNOTOBIDEN. Biden, NOT THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
