      Suddenly remembered this 2008 interview between Biden and a Florida TV anchor who asked, among other things, if Obama's economic policy was Marxist. Fun if you consider what's happened since thenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3EkhDru23U …

      The close of the 2008 campaign was bizarre. McCain was flailing, but he refused to go after the Jeremiah Wright stuff and instead went all-in on how Obama's response to Joe the Plumber was socialistic.

          Suspending your campaign due to an economic crisis was most bizarre.

          It was the most idiotic decision any presidential candidate has ever made. But I am glad he did this and lost because I cannot imagine how much worse the already awful Obama Wars would have been with the horrible, bloodthirsty, warmongering McCain in charge.

          Sounds like Trump’s read on the situation was, "never avoid the racist angle."

          I think Palin blowback was overwhelming at that point. She was Trumping hard at that point.

          How recent was Obama a member of Reverend Wright’s congregation?

          How has Trump not named Joe the Plumber to some senior job in the Department of Labor or Commerce? Like Acting Secretary?
