With Joe Biden on the “No Malarkey” tour of Iowa, this is a good time to assess his strengths and weaknesses in his quest to be president.

 

Malarkey means speech “designed to mislead or obscure”.  Secondary meaning is “bunkum,” an excellent word.

 

With Mr. Biden now rejecting bunkum, I would like to know the following.  Perhaps he could yell the answers from the bus window.

 

- The economy is good.  How exactly will you make it better?

 

- The Obama economy was not so good.  What was the biggest economic mistake the President made?  As Vice President, did you try to stop it?

 

- Your Ukrainian adventure does not look good on tape.  Will you cede that much?

 

- You often have trouble getting your point across as words are garbled.  Do you consider that a problem?

 

Of course, those questions will not be asked because the national press does not want to damage Mr. Biden in case he does get the nomination.  No matter what deficits Biden has, the press will take him all day long over President Trump.

 

Joe Biden’s main strength is experience and his main weakness is befuddlement, and that’s no bunkum.

 

Tonight on the No Spin News, I’ll tell why Donald Trump would prefer NOT to run against Mr. Biden.
