Does the humiliation of Biden help Dems in the election? My guess is yes. (Not saying it’s intentional, but it’s maybe a form of penance to the electorate.) https://t.co/MZoJwnsJlB

The old South Carolina jibe “He went to Harvard and it took” (directed, I believe, at Pug Ravenel) was both more succinct and more benign–it accepts that the target was an OK local before the Ivies warped his outlook, and doesn’t resent him simply for succees. https://t.co/8N27UxV66i

Similar to Biden’s falsehoods–latching onto any useful story, true or not. Next he’ll be talking about his ancestors coming up out of the mines and playing football. https://t.co/IX0IV7tuJP But this seems more coldly calculated. https://t.co/NM6bZ0BIA3

Especially cheesy given that Walz is the one pushing the policies (eg more immigration, Ukraine, various forms of wokeism, UBI-style checks to non-workers, SCOTUS as liberal legislator of last resort) favored by the Ivy League elite. https://t.co/cuHyGmO0SS

In his DNC speech, Biden said, of the Lankford border bill, that “once it passed” Trump killed it. https://t.co/CFhbEGtjRy [25:51 in] Huh? It didn’t pass anything. Not the House. Not the Senate. Biden seems to believe his improved version of reality–ie a fantasy.
