A Political Chameleon


 

Joe Biden: A Political Chameleon

 

Chameleons are lizard-like animals that can change their color according to the environment in which they are living.  Joe Biden is a political chameleon in that he can change his rhetoric according to the political environment in which he finds himself.

 


Joe Biden is a typical politician.  In the primary election cycle, he appealed to his far-left base.  When asked if he would end fracking, he said, “bingo.”  Recently, in the general election, he said that he would not ban fracking.  Will the real Joe Biden please stand up.  Historically, after Presidents have been elected, and particularly after their reelection, they start to show their real colors.  It will be the same with Biden because he is a political animal.

 

In 2016 the American electorate grew weary of politicians and elected Donald Trump.  Since Donald Trump came down that escalator in 2015, he has been the same.  You may not agree with everything he says or how he says it, but you know he believes what he says.  The American people are starved for authenticity in their governmental leaders.  They will put up with a few chinks in a person’s armor if they believe that he really means what he tells them.

                                         

The difference between the two Presidential candidates is clear.  Joe Biden is a political chameleon and will change with the political landscape. With Donald Trump, what you see is what you get.
