By Hugh Hewitt Hugh Hewitt Bio Follow May 23 at 6:07 PM Every candidate for the Democratic nomination for president knows what they need to do: knock former vice president Joe Biden out of the race. Biden himself knows he’s the battleship everyone else needs to sink. He expects the torpedoes. But will anyone launch them?
The best time to do this, of course, is during the upcoming debates. Candidate Donald Trump benefited from the debates in 2016, how they focused the nation’s attention on specific places at specific times. On the Republican side, we saw then-Govs. John Kasich of Ohio and Scott Walker of Wisconsin make the mistake of “strategic patience” in 2015, as did former Florida governor Jeb Bush.
A few members of the Democratic field may hold their fire because their futures look so bright. Sen. Kamala D. Harris has a strong shot at being Biden’s running mate if he makes it through the gauntlet and if she doesn’t screw up. She has the California money and muscle, and she serves to knit the party together. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg gains stature with every cool and calm interview and every demonstration of intellectual capacity and rhetorical skill.
The “moderates” with slight support in polling or low balances in their campaign treasuries have got to swing hard at Biden as well. Former representatives John Delaney and Beto O’Rourke and their House colleagues still serving — Reps. Tulsi Gabbard , Seth Moulton , Tim Ryan and Eric Swalwell — must all take direct and specific shots at the former vice president. They don’t have time to “introduce” themselves. They either make a mark by leaving a mark on Biden, or they are going to fade quickly.
That will be easier as the public learns more about the truth around Biden’s years in Govt!
This was only conservative Hugh Hewitt not democrats. It is bogus you guys/gals should know.
Won’t be hard. Fisagate. Biden’s public shaming will be a spectacle to behold
He’s doing that on his own
The Baby Boom generation had decades to drive the car and they ran it into one telephone pole after another. It is past time for them to get the fuck out of the way.
This only shows another one who points fingers to get his way! A bunch of demons fighting it looks like. Why not winning by being better by actions? By exposing others with lies shows to never vote for that person. Only fools and deranged people vote this.
It’ll be easy. He’s made of wood.
Yep, just wait he will self implode on his own...

Bugs Biden for President
The only reason Biden (and a million other dems) is running is because he is already tied to a sinking Obama ship. Presidential running candidates cannot be indicted or prosecuted.
If we run Biden, prepare to lose to Trump again.
Come on. Stop joking. No one is attacking anyone except Trump. They have the same script. The nominee hasn’t even announced yet.
I am a subscriber. Hewitt is a political operative, and not a journalist. I urge you to delete him from your editorial contributors.
I’ll beat the bastard in battleship myself damnit
😂😂🤣
In my opinion Biden is the best candidate for 2020. The key will however be a fantastic VP pick, that can become a solid 2024 candidate
What bullshit
The sheer baggage of his Congressional record and statements alone should sink him. He was for a Constitutional Amendment to stop school bus integration in the 70s. The Crime Bill. Patriot Act. He is beholden to corporations and the military industrial complex.
Let me save you a click. The article was written by Hugh Hewitt. Enough said.
This is true, we just had him in the WH for 8 years, we need someone new Having said that, the author Hugh Hewitt is also author of “The Fourth Way: The Conservative Playbook for a Lasting GOP Majority” We don't need to be listening to conservatives on this
None of them stand a chance against Trump... Democrats tried to destroy the middle class in middle America. We elected Trump because of that... we'll reelect him guaranteed.
Because they really want to see Trump2020 re-elected?
Joe’s your only chance of beating President Trump
