Fired up and ready to go for the #NoMalarkey barnstorm! pic.twitter.com/4lpU7waqzh— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 30, 2019
Not a full post or anything but I just wanted to comment on this. I know that "Malarkey" is one of Joe Biden's catch phrases that dates back to the 2012 VP debates, but seriously? This is what Joe Biden is calling his tour of Iowa?
One of Joe Biden's biggest problems is that people see him as an old and uncool dinosaur that isn't with the times. That's why Pete Buttgieg is rising in the polls and why both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are doing ok despite being old. They don't get the same vibe that Biden is putting out here.
And what is that vibe? That Biden is completely not with the times. People don't say malarkey anymore and outside of Joe Biden himself I haven't heard anyone say it for years. It paints him as totally out of touch with modern culture and kind of a joke.
Either way, I am surprised that the Biden campaign wanted to make this their slogan. After all, even if Biden is going to be full of Bidenisms like this, that doesn't mean that they couldn't be doing damage control. Nobody wanted to tell him that this might be a dumb idea?
