"Life is strange. Every so often, a good man wins." Frank Dane, British Actor

If you like Abraham Lincoln, you're not alone. He was the total package.
He had the skill set, the strength of character, not to mention an awesome stovepipe hat. But, alas, not enough money.
Today, Lincoln couldn't afford to run for office. Neither could Truman.
And yet, these two men, despite their humble beginnings, turned out to be our best presidents.
They were strong men, who, during their presidencies, made difficult decisions, Lincoln freeing the slaves in 1862, Truman dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.
And both paid a heavy historic price.
Today an Ordinary Joe like Lincoln doesn't stand a chance of seizing the gold ring of "One day becoming president."
Political dynasties, the Deep State and a Left-leaning media make that impossible.
The focus is all on poll numbers, and how much money each candidate has, with scant attention paid to candidate background checks.
A Communist candidate like Bernie is laughingly regarded as an aberration, even when other Democrat presidential candidates disturbingly parrot his totalitarian plans for our country.
It has become the fashion for the media to ignore discussions of age, mental acuity, health and corruption when discussing Democrat candidates. Candidate Bloomberg even ordered his media company to refrain from investigating him and Democrats during his presidential run.
But not when discussing Trump.
So Bernie's heart attack, Joe's disturbing lapses in speech and memory, and accusations of corruption involving the enrichment of the Biden family while Biden was Obama's VP, were not showcased.
Discussion of such issues is discouraged, and if discussed, are dismissed as "racist."
Last night, former Vice President Biden somehow sky-rocketed from a Dead in the Water campaign, to Most Favored Candidate, when he somehow managed to edge out the other candidates, winning in ten primaries.
It came, coincidentally, after the Democrats saw the Sanders campaign starting to do well. And after Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar dropped out of the race.
And endorsed Biden.
It's the reason why an angry Donna Brazile felt compelled to tell Republican Chairwoman Ronna McDaniels to "Go to hell!" for suggesting the Democratic National Committee convention was rigged against Bernie.
Because she knew it was true.
The Democrat Machine that criticized Joe, is now praising him like a long-lost brother, even though they know full well he is physically unable to fulfill the demands of the office.
If he's elected, they know "someone" will, but it won't be Joe.
Biden doesn't bring a whole lot to the table, but the Democrat establishment doesn't care. They would rather have him than Bernie. Even with his old habits, which, unfortunately are starting to reappear.
Yesterday he couldn't resist sniffing a baby's hair at a campaign stop in Oakland, which really annoyed the baby.
And when delivering his victory speech, he fell back on his old plagiarism ways.
Like when he filched parts of a speech from UK Member of Parliament Neil Kinnock during his failed 1988 presidential run. And another time when he was caught plagiarizing while attending Syracuse University College of Law.
Last night Joe "borrowed" a favorite Trumpism. He claimed "We started a movement!"
He didn't. Trump did.
And with Klobuchar at his side, she plagiarized, on Joe's behalf, another quotable Trump gem by finishing her endorsement speech with, "The best is yet to come."
But through it all, Joe remains naively happy, and is already Quid-Pro-Quo staffing his administration.
"I indicated to him (Buttigieg)," Joe said effusively, "that if I became the nominee, I'd come and ask him to be part of an administration."
And rumor has it that Klobuchar ended her campaign because she was promised the vice presidency.
However he got where he is, whether it is with the help of Bloomberg's Shadow DNC or not, it's nice to know the Old Joe is back, bringing with him his old habits and like-minded pals. He couldn't have done it without them. He really couldn't have.
Amy Klobuchar may not know the name of Mexico's president, and Joe might not have been able to tell his wife from his sister at his Super Tuesday speech.
But Joe and Amy? Perfect together.
Hold the line, America.
