Joe!
Despite the media narrative that Joe Biden did the honorable and patriotic thing by dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, he has since confirmed that Democrats forced him out, and he isn’t happy about it. What is he going to do about it? Is he just going to sit back and accept it? I’m not so sure that he will, and I expect Biden will get his revenge.
I expect it, too.
… Let’s recap what we know.
**Biden still feels betrayed over his ouster.
**Biden has long held the position that he was the only Democrat who could beat Trump.
**Harris was reportedly on board with invoking the 25th Amendment.
**Democrats [like Obama] wanted an open process to select a new candidate.
**Biden’s desire for revenge drove his endorsement of Harris.
I wouldn’t bet on Joe not seeking revenge. And revenge fits in very well with what we know of Joe’s personality! There is NOTHING that would make him feel more personally vindicated, more self-righteous, more superior than Kamala losing to Trump! Nothing.
Here’s what I think. It all comes down to Hunter. If Hunter gets away with his crimes and avoids going to jail, Joe will probably not make much of a fuss. And that is the safest prediction.
But if Hunter gets hammered, there really is no longer any reason for Joe keep up the charade. I think what Joe does next depends largely on what happens to Hunter.
Now Democrats need exactly the opposite thing. They need to show that they are actually respectable and law-abiding. And they get that by hammering Hunter. You know, no one is above the law and all that. So Hunter is naturally in their crosshairs. But if they do that they risk Joe seeking revenge. It’s kind of a puzzle for them to solve. And the clock is ticking…
