Opinion: Joe Biden is wrong about the GOP — but in the right way

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Saturday in Columbia, S.C. By Max Boot Max Boot Columnist covering national security Email Bio Follow Columnist May 6 at 5:44 PM Joe Biden stands out from other Democratic candidates not just by taking on President Trump directly but also by seeking to separate Trump from the rest of the Republican Party.

Trump’s poisonous invective — he accuses his critics of “TREASONOUS” acts and calls the press “the enemy of the people” — is rooted in the tactics pioneered by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. In 1978, Gingrich said, “I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican party is that we don’t encourage you to be nasty.

Even Trump’s irrationalism and conspiracy-mongering have deep Republican roots, dating back to Joseph McCarthy and the John Birch Society in the 1950s. Climate-change denialism had become a party litmus test by the time Trump said in 2012 that global warming was a made-in-China hoax.

the BEST of Biden in under 2minutes

This infuriates me. MaxBoot the GOP demonize the democrats NON-STOP never ONCE worrying about Dems reaction, they face no consenquences. Dems need to walk on eggshells so they don't offend the GOP because they will run into the Arms of trump? They're already there! fuck this!

Joe Biden is trying to do a 'Barack Obama '. Number one, Joe can't possibly sell lies as well as the Ex President. Number 2, how do you recover from treason?

You're so gross. Consider leaving the propaganda business, and becoming journalists. It's hard work, but it's better than just permanently gluing your lips to rich people's behinds, like you do now.

Stop focusing on Biden. We've got much better candidates with much better ideas than he has to offer.

He loves the GOP because he is the GOP.

The Ukraine approves of this message.

Creepy Joe makes the perfect Democratic Party nominee!

Joe is really out of touch. His comments on China not being a competition is so wrong.China is not only a competition,but also a great threat to democracy and humanity.

Until the Dems wake up from their slumber and face reality, they will lose again to Trump in 2020. They want to be the party of 'morals' in an era where morality is dead in American politics. They wasted no time in expelling Al Frankin, yet clueless about what to do with Trump.

Can we just not with Biden?

Washington Post, an enemy supporting the enemy.

You guys crack me up. These headlines are hysterical

There will always be a divide as long as there are Tea Party Republicans in congress. I grieve for the party I once supported.

You should do a spotlight on JoeBiden s favorite type shampoo! SniffSniff
