I disagree with Karl Rove’s assessment in his recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal:
If Mr. Biden somehow got elected, the pressure from the far left to conform his administration’s policy to its agenda would be overwhelming and relentless. That’s the lesson of the Kavanaugh stoning. Today Brett Kavanaugh, tomorrow whoever gets in the way, including a moderate Democratic president.
I find that hard to reconcile with recent events. So, for example, there is no “anti-war Left” in the United States to speak of. As proof I would submit that substantial war protests practically evaporated when Barack Obama was elected president, despite his major escalation of the war in Afghanistan. They weren’t anti-war; they were anti-Bush.
There would be those who would whine including their allies in the media but I doubt it would go much farther than that. Would they call for Joe Biden’s impeachment? Of course not.
Biden can’t even get Obama’s endorsement. He’d be as popular with the squad as Pelosi.
Obama will endorse Biden if Biden becomes the nominee.
Rule of thumb: Obama’s decisions are about Obama. He will do nothing that would weaken his influence in the party.
Sure wish him and his wife, Clinton and his wife could just fade-away and enjoy their opulence without getting it all over rest of us.
