It’s going to be tough getting Biden into the White House

What can we do? it’s challenging. We have finished up with a seriously flawed candidate heading to win the Democratic nomination. Joseph Biden, heaven help us! but, we have to make the best of what we have. Weeping over fallen angels can take time — but hurry up, because there are more important things at stake.

Like spring lambs running in every conceivable direction, we have to behave more like older and more sensible sheep (these wooly creatures are really quite smart — maybe), and realize that we have better chances of success by adopting the herd instinct — that is, if the direction is set right and not one running over a cliff. Primo, is the ousting of Donald Trump and his brand. Let’s not allow this goal at any juncture to waft from our minds.

All the cosmetic engineering needs mustering to keep Joe Biden upright and walking. Band aids, bandages and oxygen on hand, mental and physical encouragement, and with Joe’s hands grasping the walker, we might just get him to the steps of the White House. It will be an exhausting effort for everyone, but let’s try.

We need a Nijinsky, to bound from the wings — someone young, smart and agile. Someone who can not only keep Joe amused, but deflect and otherwise manage the incoming slings and arrows. Think hard — who could this person be?
