Flashback to Volume One of Steve Hayward’s The Age of Reagan from 2001:
Like McGovern in ‘72, as Tristan Justice writes at the Federalist, Joe Biden Is A Vehicle For The Revolution
The McGovern comparison would be a fair comparison if Bernie was the nominee. The media constantly portrayed Biden as the most moderate of the candidates in the primary so people already have that ingrained in their heads. The swing voter sees him as a centrist Democrat (been in the Senate since the early 70's and VP for eight years) and the Trump's campaign attempt to tie Biden to the radical left just isn't going to work. They're running ads in the same state where they say he wants to defund the police and in another ad criticizes him for helping pass the crime bill. The two contradict each other. Biden at least puts on the facade of loving this country (pry better than any Democratic candidate since Bill Clinton) so I doubt that attack will work. The best line of attack is he's part of the establishment, pro free trade, pro interventionist, soft on China, and is in mental decline.
