" Creepy " Joe Biden does damage limitation - Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Joe Biden: Ex-US vice president says he will be 'more mindful' of women's personal space..The 76-year-old, tipped to run for the Democratic presidential nomination, responds to recent claims of inappropriate behaviour.  "

Lets Get Real:

The former VP is doing a damage limitation before any other new stories develop over his inappropriate behaviour with " WOMEN ".   Let's be clear the former VP is being accused of being to touchy and feely, NOT SEXUAL ASSAULT.   One has to recall that Biden is 76, and his character developed with the times.  The video release should cut off any bleeding from the Biden Campaign, that only works if there are no more negative stories like these.  If there are more allegations then Biden could be TOAST.   One does wonder why former President Barack Obama has not come to his rescue, Biden was his VP for eight years, he should know his character.   The problem for Biden is that he has a long political history, his Senate days and then his time as VP to Obama.   When trying to get ObamaCare through the President stated that if you liked your Doctor, you could keep it, also after getting monies from the Congress to help shovel ready plans, the Obama Administration found it was easier getting the money that developing real job making jobs.   Also Biden was opposed to the raid that killed OBL, he was afraid of the political ramifications.   Then there are the Biden foot in the mouth moments, you could do a 5 minute film of those.   Expect the other Democrats to come after Biden, he will be seen as OLD, WHITE and MALE, the wrong character for the left leaning Democratic Party.    Even with the above, it seems that the former VP will enter the race, one hope he has tough political skin, the Trump Oval will be after him and the other Democratic candidates. 

The May and Corbyn TALKS - Brexit Update 1 - NO BREXIT

BBC News: Reports " Talks between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn to break the Brexit deadlock have been called "constructive".  

Lets Get Real:

What a day, the PM meet Corbyn, and the House of Commons outlawed a NO DEAL BREXIT by one vote.   This blog is shocked that there were only two resignations at the junior level of Government, the HARD BREXIT Cabinet Ministers have shown that they are COWARDS, do they need the red boxes and the chauffeur driven cars to much that they are willing to sellout BREXIT.    The PM it seems will give way on a Customs Union and other rights, she is clinging on to OFFICE, very unlady like, at least Lady Thatcher went with dignity in 1990.   If the HARD BREXIT Cabinet Ministers want to regain respect and a chance of the Conservative leadership they have to RESIGN and force PM May out.   The PM and the UK has been humiliated over the last two years, there needs to be a new Brexit PRIME MINISTER not another Remainer.  On the Labour side Corbyn is coming under pressure to demand another Referendum, this would be a disaster for Labour in the Midlands and the North, it could split the Party. 

If the talks FAIL as expected the PM has promised the House of Commons it can have a vote on Monday on the options, the PM has stated the Government will be binded by them.   Brexit has been stolen by the HARD REMAINERS a bias Speaker and stupid Hard Brexit MPs who wanted purity over anything else.   The UK will have to take part in the Euro Elections if the UK asks for an extension, the voters should vote for the NEW BREXIT PARTY.   Also in a early General Election the voters should vote out the present MPs in the House of Commons, they have betrayed the UK and its DEMOCRACY. 

The Guardian view of May's offer to the Labour Leader - Brexit Update 3 - NO BREXIT

Guardian: Has the following Editorial, " The Guardian view on May’s Brexit offer to Corbyn: years too late...The prime minister’s offer to Labour’s leader seems designed to share the blame rather than the glory  "

Lets Get Real:

In the above the left wing Guardian just might be RIGHT.   The PM could be seeing Brexit about to sink and thus wants to share the blame, the one thing she can do for the Conservative Party; is either resign of her own accord or is forced out by her Cabinet; is to share the blame with the Labour Party.   Before that she does not want the whole BLAME for the fiasco that is BREXIT, thus this move to ask Corbyn in for talks.  The Labour Leader must know that his HARD REMAINERS MPs want a 2nd referendum and anything less will be seen a betrayal by them.  IF May and Corbyn can iron out an agreement the Corbyn will look like a Statesman who saved BREXIT and set the future course.   If the talks are a disaster then May can blame Corbyn for being to rigid and causing BREXIT to sink.  Both May and Corbyn have a LOT to LOSE over the next few days. 

Republicans start the political war on " Creepy " Joe Biden - Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Republicans launch their first 'Creepy Joe' attack ad on social media as Biden's friends say he is STILL going to run in face of 'inappropriate touching' claims "

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans are trying to outdo the MeToo movement when it comes to former Vice - President Joe Biden and it is WRONG.   The former VP is a decent guy, a bit to touchy feely, but then he is OLD.   What was seen as being normal, humble and fun has now become seen as a attack on the personal space of women.   The Republicans see Joe Biden as a threat, he comes across as normal, not a policy wonk who needs your votes and will happy shake your hand and smile, the over touchy feely bit comes from the fact that Biden is OLD, a guy who's character was formed decades ago, and no one then saw as problem.  It is a bit rich for the Republicans to go after Biden with President Trump in the White House, one does not see Trump saying SORRY for anything.   Of course the Democratic candidates in the field might want Biden OUT, then they go up in the polls.   The Vice - President should be wary of his fellow Democrats, they also want to win nomination and go against Trump, they will look through out Biden career in the Senate and the Vice - Presidency.   Does VP Biden really want to go through the hassle of a campaign with taking in bound attacks from his own Party and the Trump White House. 

When will the Cabinet Resignations start? - Brexit Update 2 - NO BREXIT

Sky News: Reports " Mutiny! Tory MPs urge cabinet to oust May over Corbyn Brexit talks..PM says talks with the Labour leader are aimed at finding "the compromises that will deliver what the British people voted for".  "

Lets Get Real:

This is Grand National week, this blog abhors betting, but in this case the blog will bet that PM May will not be PM by Saturday.   The PM always makes the WRONG MOVE, she is going against a majority of her Cabinet and MPs in wanting talks with the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn.   IF Michael Gove wants to be the future Leader of the Conservative Party he has to weasel his way out of having supporting PM May, Boris Johnson has come out firmly against the May talks with Corbyn, the members of the Conservative Party, those that do the footwork, getting lefleats out, going around the houses when an election is on, are firmy HARD BREXIT supporters.   A PM cannot go against the majority of her Cabinet and MPs, it is not sustainable in the LONG TERM.   This blog would not be shocked or surprised if Theresa May is FORCED OUT by Friday or Saturday.   All political careers end in failure, with the exception of Winston Churchill and the Gipper. 

The May and Corbyn SHOW - Brexit Update 1 - NO BREXIT

BBC News: Reports " The PM says she wants to meet Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to agree a plan on the future relationship with the EU.  "

Lets Get Real:

The idea of PM May and the Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn being able to agree to a new Brexit Deal is foolish.   PM May would have to agree to a customs union that deals with trade, while Corbyn would have to give up on the idea of the UK staying the single market, as being in the EU single market allows for free trade.  The FACT that there have been no resignations so far shows that the Brexit Ministers are making to CALLS to fellow Ministers and MPs to see how they react, first impression is badly.  The Hard Brexit MPs do not want a customs union as it would prevent the UK doing trade deals with Countries outside the UK.   The idea that Jeremy Corbyn would design the future of Brexit is a lead to balloon to these MPs.   One would be surprised and shocked if PM lasts the weekend as PM.  It is reported that a majority of the Cabinet wanted to leave on a NO DEAL, but the PM overruled them, going with minority who are HARD REMAINERS.  One can expect a storm over the next few days, the PM would have to go if 14 Cabinet Ministers and a majority of MPs make it clear they will resign from their offices and will not obey the Government whip.   Of course will the Hard Brexit MPs have the courage of their convictions or do they like the red boxes and the Chauffeur driven cars to much, do they have leadership ambitions for the future, the Party members will not forgive those that follow May on this idea.

On the Labour side Corbyn will face pressure from those that want to remain in the EU and want a 2nd referendum vote, if they see May and Corbyn doing a DEAL, they will feel that Corbyn is helping in a Conservative BREXIT.   Thus expect disquiet from the Labour backbenches.   It might be in the interest of Corbyn to allow the any new deal to fail before it gets off the ground, he wants a general election, he wants a hard brexit to blame on the Conservatives, if he is part of the process he gets either the credit or the blame.   Thus expect growing anger from HARD REMAINERS within the Labour Party. 

This May idea heading for doom, it just a matter of how, either the Conservatives pull out or Labour forces Corbyn to make demands that the PM can not give in too. 

The Joe Biden's " WOMEN " problem in the 2020 Election - Election 2020

The New York Times: Has an interesting opinion, it looks at how former Vice - President Joe Biden has been accused of stepping over the line in to the personal space of women, the article states the following " The New York Times reported that some Democrats are bracing “for an extended reckoning about Mr. Biden and gender if he enters the race.”   "

Lets Get Real:

None of the stories in this area are saying that Biden committed a crime, just that in this modern era, women have the right to their personal space and MEN, well it tends to be mostly men, have no right to be sniffing a women's hair or kissing her head if he does not know her, also rubbing noses is going over the line.   The it can be presumed that these stories are being pushed by the various campaigns, of course nothing official, just the right word to the right reporter.    If VP Biden enters the race he becomes the leading candidate to take on Trump in 2020, thus the other campaigns might not want Joe Biden to enter.   Let's be clear VP Biden has been in politics for decades, he has cast thousand of Senate votes, and has had views that do not quite fit the modern Democratic Party, from race to gender.   One can see Biden being  a REAL THREAT to POTUS in 2020, he will fight back when Trump goes dirty and Trump has no problem in getting in to the trenches of political knife fighting.  Does the former Vice - President want to have say sorry ALL THE TIME.   In the Democratic  Party he has negatives already, he is MALE, WHITE AND OLD, while the Democratic base is looking for a fresh leader.   One would not be surprised if Biden does not enter, why get your reputation tarnished if you face losing, and this blog is predicting that Biden will not win the primary fights in 2020.
