Joe Biden has dropped the Hamlet act and finally entered the field for the 2020 Presidential Race. He is number 20 in the Democrat field. His official video is not promising.

Here is the video:

Wow! That’s terrifyingly bad. The word is that Joe Biden was going to announce his candidacy in Charlottesville, Virginia and the city said no. Good for the city, according to the Washington Examiner:

Aides to Biden had briefed journalists about the plan for Wednesday, which liberal activist groups in Charlottesville told the Washington Examiner had prompted opposition, with some residents unhappy about the scene a tragedy the city would prefer to forget being used as a campaign launch backdrop.

With no direct connection to Charlottesville, some viewed the move as disrespectful and capitalizing on the death of activist Heather Heyer, 32, during the “Unite the Right” rally in August 2017.

Yes, and that portion of the video does come off as “disrespectful” and “capitalizing on the death” of the young woman.

And to make it even worse, this is the re-edited version of the video. A Biden aide fixed the video after the Public Relations team’s first edit. For a man who has been in the political game for decades, his lack of vision and strategy is galactic. According to Time Magazine:

Earlier, Biden has asked his Senate allies to stay in town this week in case he wanted to launch in Washington. Perhaps sensing the foolhardy idea of a campaign launch in Washington, where Congress has a meager 26% approval rating, no one stayed.

“I’ve never seen anything so half-assed,” a former Biden aide said. “They’re improvising and doing last-minute planning. The guy has been running for President since 1987 and can’t figure the basics out, like where to stand on his first day? This should make everyone very nervous.”

Added a second Biden insider: “The guy’s best day is the day he announces. Everything after that gets worse.”

Gaffe prone, creepy Joe has run for President twice before and not gotten off the ground. The launch video for 2020, devoid of hope, vision or leadership, suggests that today is his best day. The video dropped at 6 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Thursday, April 25 and the campaign has nothing scheduled until at least Monday, April 29.

Joe Biden announced his 2020 Presidential Run today. Today is the beginning of the end of his 2020 Presidential Run. Buh bye, Joe.
