Whatever else I do I am going to= denounce a Biden candidacy. First he gives a rousing populist Labor Day speech. The= n he has a prominent meeting with Elizabeth Warren. Now he gives a speech to the usu= al suspects at Concordia where he says he is not a populist, he is a realist, w= hich makes a mockery of his Labor Day speech and his Elizabeth Warren meeting. a) I don't think Biden runs, but if he does, 100% of the votes he takes come= from Hillary. If this happens and Bernie picks up a few more black voters, watch= out. b) I am so fed up with polyester populists it leaves me speechless, and I in= clude the candidate who recently said "I plead guilty" to being centrist and moder= ate, and then falsely saying last week "some people way all we need to do is brea= k up big banks".....nobody says this, her words are total nonsense. I had a very= strong pro-Hillary column finalized for my last Thursday column, titled "The first w= oman president", but when I saw the whole tape of her nonsense about banks, I= deleted it entirely. c) at this rate Democrats could well yield most of the populist unhappiness w= ith Washington to conservatives and Republicans. d) If Hillary triangulates again during the debate, Bernie wins the debate, p= ossibly big. e) the smart move for Hillary would be to build on the bad jobs numbers on Fri= day and take a strong populist position in the debate and not maneuver, hedge, o= r become intellectually hog-tied by her army of corporatist consultants, tho= ugh I suspect she will triangulate, and will regret it. Here is Biden's version of polyester populism, similar to Hillary's "I plea= d guilty" to being a centrist, and I quadruple fact-checked this with a deep dive into th= e Concordia Summit and what Biden actually said in this latest example of polyester popu= lism. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/joe-biden-im-not-bernie-sanders Sent from my iPad=
