Which is the party of the affluent and notable? Democrats.
Which is the party of the wealthy coastal elite? Democrats.
We’ve known this for some time, of course, and the people running Joe Biden seem to know it too, with a huge, glamorous Hollywood fundraiser in the works for the president’s re-election campaign. Guests are said to include former President Barack Obama and Hollywood stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
Because “Scranton Joe” is it You know, I’m just so good at bonding with normal people?
The star-studded lineup is expected to boost Biden’s fundraising efforts at a time when Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee are aiming to fill the cash gap the former president now faces won the needed delegates to secure the nomination and allow him to exploit all the GOP tools at his disposal.
The high-profile Biden event, scheduled for mid-June, will include a competition with Clooney and Roberts conducted on the campaign’s social media platforms to recruit grassroots donors as well as top celebrities and surrogates, details show , which were first shared with NBC News. The two Oscar winners will also make their names available for campaign emails and text messages in hopes of attracting additional donations.
We believe such a fundraising effort is necessary at this time given the nature of the Democratic Party’s national constituency. The Democrats, as mentioned above, are the party of celebrities and wealthy coastal and urban elites and the dependent class. The dependent constituency cannot contribute much to cover campaign costs, which is why the star-studded begging sessions are necessary.
It may not be enough to assist Joe Biden – or whoever the candidate ends up being – win in November.

You see, money is a huge deal in the presidential campaign — but it’s not everything. In 2016, Her Imperial Majesty Hillary I surpassed Donald Trump by almost two to one, and yet Trump won handily. The promise of free items can only buy a constrained number of votes; At some point, messaging comes into play, and that’s not to take away from elderly Joe’s advantage.
What do the Democrats have to sell in this election? Out of control inflation? A non-existent southern border? Destruction of women’s sports? None of these things are effortless sells, except to the “woke” left, who will vote Democrat if the candidate is a stuffed armadillo — or even Joe Biden.
This brings us to another point. Here’s a pretty amusing tidbit:
The Biden and Obama teams continue to discuss the scope of the former president’s involvement, including a recent face-to-face meeting between Obama and Biden’s senior adviser Mike Donilon, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Let me translate that for you from the political jargon into English: The Biden and Obama teams are wondering how much they can keep confused, confused and unstable elderly Joe out of the public eye while maintaining some semblance of a campaign. But this isn’t 2020, there’s no pandemic, and there’s no excuse to keep elderly Joe stuck in a basement in Delaware campaigning via Zoom call.
We can well imagine how the meeting between Barack Obama and Mike Donilon went: “Mike, please, I’m serious, you need to minimize Joe’s public appearances. He was never good at it, and now he’s lost it. You do.” Do you want to win this? Then keep Joe under wraps.
Even Hollywood may not be enough to save Joe Biden — making it all the more likely that someone will have to do it by Election Day Bell the cat.
