Rep. James Clyburn endorses Joe Biden ahead of South Carolina primary – YouTube
Joe Biden is literally crossing the threshold of the presidency as I write with the electors in California in essence making him our 46th president as his delegate mark goes beyond the 270 vote mark.
In 2019… I gave my Person of the Year Award collectively to the Washington Nationals who went on one of the most amazing post season runs in contemporary baseball history in winning a completely unexpected World Series by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, and the cheating Houston Astros in perhaps the most breathtaking sequence of post season baseball wins I’ve ever observed in my life.
It was stunning.
But this year the stakes were so much higher as the GOP, Fox Entertainment, and a pathetic cadre of Devin Nunes lowlite types…set out to put this dubious parasitic cochroach back in the White House for a second term.
Our democracy and our constitution were at stake.
Let’s roll back to the South Carolina primary where Joe Biden’s candidacy was literally on life support…as were the candidacies of Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, and Pete B.
It appeared the Democratic Party was about to become unhinged and fall all over itself again in running a candidate against the grifter human junk bond punk Donald Trump.
But at this critical inflection point of American history…Congressman Clyburn ecthed his place in American history by giving the speech I have linked above.
I’m certain most of Trump Nation never gave Clyburn’s speech a second thought. It had nothing to do with cheating, eating, avoiding military service, trolling John McCain, taunting handicapped people, not paying your creditors, or furniture store sport ‘shopping’ with Nancy O’Dell. The speech had nothing in it which would interest a typical Trump evangelical zealot.
But for those who study history and don’t get their facts from Fox Entertainment it was indeed a turning point in the historical election of 2020. A moment for introspection for a nation which needed one.
And for this reason …I’m making James Clyburn my 2020 Person of the Year.
