Joe Biden Caught In Ukraine Crossfire

Joe Biden's election prospects appeared to take a hit from allegations hurled by Trump that are at the center of the House Democrats' impeachment probe. A loose transcript of a July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed a whistleblower's claim that Trump asked him to investigate Biden and son Hunter's dealings in the country in 2016.

The October IBD/TIPP Poll found 57%-37% support for a Justice Department investigation of Biden and his son regarding their actions in Ukraine and China.

By comparison, Americans supported the House impeachment inquiry, 55%-44%. Half of Americans said Trump's Ukraine actions are an impeachable offense, vs. 46% who say they are not. Still, Trump's job approval rating rose 4 points to 43%, even as his biggest political scandal erupted.




Biden (still, atm, by far our best shot, IMHO, to boot Rump out) truly needs to get a grip on this new fake-scandal-driven dynamic trend, it is hurting him, very unfairly, and is starting to put our chances for 2020 in more jeopardy than they have any right to be.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
