I’m so old I remember the first time. It was in an interview on Nov. 4, 2012, with Chris Matthews, when Biden predicted an Obama victory would be the game-changer: “We need leaders that can control their party, and I think you’re gonna see the fever break.”
He sang the same tune in May 2019, during his presidential campaign. “The thing that will fundamentally change with Donald Trump out of the White House, not a joke, is you will see an epiphany occur among many of my Republican friends.”
“Many” is carrying a lot of weight there, but the bigger problem is that Joe’s friends, while they might milk the aggrieved rubes for votes, aren’t listening to Tucker Carlson and Q and believing what they hear. Hayseed Fever has not broken.
