They see Slow Joe as the standard bearer of 'Business as usual' as a symbol with no recognition at all of the fact that he is mentally in Lala-land and will be a marionette on which their precious Old Boys won't be pulling the strings, but the wealthy far Left of the Soros variety will. They may realize he's just a tool, but they foolishly believe they and their bros will have a say in how he gets used. They're quite mistaken about that.
