Rasmussen: Trump 47%, Biden 43%

Wuh...?

I'm thinking this is an outlier, but who knows.

Remember, 80% of Biden's appeal, if that's the right word, is his alleged "electability," so if people start to doubt that... Katie bar the door.

David Harsanyi writes that Hunter Biden traveled the world with his pops, cashing in at every port of call.

A lot of people want to know why Joe Biden brought his drug-addled, useless drop with him on these trips, if not to help him cash in.

But the people who want to know this are not in the liberal media, either the liberal mainstream media or the liberal fake-conservative establishment media. They're all too busy making excuses and covering up for their preferred candidate.

Biden has been leading the Democratic field. The central case for his candidacy rests on the supposedly exemplary work he did as a senior member of Team Obama. Well, in 2016, acting as the Obama administration's point man in Ukraine, the vice president -- unlike Trump -- openly threatened to withhold $1 billion in American loan guarantees if the embattled nation didn't fire the country's top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.

...

By coincidence, Hunter had landed this cushy gig in a foreign country only a few months after the Obama ­administration began dispatching his father, Joe, to the very same foreign country on a regular basis.

There was, of course, absolutely nothing in Hunter's resume to indicate that he would be a valuable addition to foreign energy interest. He didn't speak the language, and he had no particular expertise in the energy industry. Oh, he did have one thing, though: his last name.

I suppose, that isn't entirely fair. Hunter once ran a hedge fund with his dad's brother, James Biden, and associated with a notorious Ponzi schemer. James would go on to snag a job as executive vice president of a construction company in 2010, despite having virtually no experience in the field. And only a few months into his tenure, the company would win one of its biggest contracts in its history, a $1.5 billion deal to build affordable homes in Iraq.

By pure happenstance, Joe was also the Obama administration's point man in Iraq at the time. Funny how these things work out.
