Joe Biden Just Had His Bush v Buchanan Moment.
In 1992, George H. W. Bush won the New Hampshire Republican Primary with over 50% of the vote. To this day, when politicos talk about it, you’d think Bush lost to Pat Buchanan. At the beginning of the night, Buchanan’s early vote came on strong. It was startlingly impressive. By the night's end, George H. W. Bush had won New Hampshire, and everybody knew he had major problems with his own base.
Again, to this day, Bush’s 1992 New Hampshire primary win is talked about as if he lost the state.
Last night, in Michigan, Joe Biden won, but “uncommitted” and protest candidates captured almost a fifth of the Democrat vote. The sitting, incumbent President of the United States saw a fifth of his voters declare they wanted someone else, most of them voting for, essentially, “none of the above.”
For perspective, Obama only lost 10% of the Michigan primary to uncommitted. Joe Biden is losing 19% divided between uncommitted and protest candidates, with the bulk going to the uncommitted line.
