There must be a psychological explanation for those individuals who habitually "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I have no compunction about naming this self-destructive tendency as the "Biden Syndrome" .
Joe Biden has already produced four unforced errors in his fledgling Presidential Campaign any one of which may prove to be ultimately fatal to his ambitions.
I relate the genesis of the "Biden Syndrome" to his seemingly infinite political narcissism in which many of his previous statements being unearthed seem to redolent with a somewhat amusing rhetorical overreach.
This tendency only begins to look silly after passions have cooled and the rhetoric begins to look "overripe" as the Brits like to say.
