The debate Thursday night was a complete and total disaster for the Democratic Party. Joe Biden pounded his chest over the prospect of debating Donald Trump. His side was eager to do it. The party, in general, seemed to be primed for the showdown. But time is a funny thing in politics. It’s the most valuable resource, and often, operatives say there’s not enough to get everything they want done in a campaign. For Biden, too much time has allowed his weaknesses and party fractures to fester, leading to a full-blown stage 4 diagnosis of political cancer that might have undone the president against Donald Trump.
We’ve known for months that Joe Biden lacked the stamina, cognitive abilities, and skill to be president. The lack of presidential timber was apparent to most voters; 86 percent felt he was too old to run. Biden’s staff ignored the polls. How could they lose to Donald Trump? The arrogance of the Left is also to blame, the entitlement that they think they should win all elections, debates, and legislative battles because they have better feelings on the issues. Trump smashed that sentiment in 2016 and might have done it again. Biden was slow, slurred, and incoherent for most of the debate. Trump was poised, pointed, and robustly defended his presidency and record. The president could not do the same—it was sometimes painful to watch. It was absolute domination by Donald Trump. He obliterated the president in ways that might be irreparable. The issues surrounding age and mental health have been magnified 1000x. The goal of this showdown was to pivot away from those voter concerns—they’re now the only thing we see. The cherry on top of this Biden fail sundae is Jill leading Joe off the debate stage. — Greg Price (@greg_price11) June 28, 2024 The panic among the liberal media was immediate and pronounced. This epic collapse by Biden was the Hindenburg of debate performances, which led to a plethora of meltdowns and panic commentaries unlike I’ve ever seen. It may eclipse the reactions from election night 2016. Politico outright said that “Biden is toast.” It’s one of the most damning post-debate pieces, though this outlet and others had spent months propping up Biden. The portion about abortion, where Biden stumbled badly, illustrated that the president has lost it:
CNN’s Kate Bedingfield got a little testy with Scott Jennings before the debate, skeptical that Biden’s campaign was hanging by a thread, given how close the polls were in some key states. That’s not good, Kate. Some states, like Minnesota, should have Biden running away with it; Trump is tied there. The age issues, Biden’s cognition, and the defection of black voters under 50 is a five-alarm fire that these clowns refused to believe until tonight. Biden got the hinges blown off him, and with his age and frailty, I doubt he’ll get better as we approach Election Day. CNN’s John King added that this disastrous debate has ramifications down the ticket, with some Democratic candidates surely reconsidering whether to stand near the president or even be in the same zip code. MSNBC’s Chuck Todd said Biden acted like what many conservative media outlets have been noting for months, which is that this guy is cooked, and there are no deep fakes, cheap fakes, or editing going on—welcome to the party, folks. MSNBC, a network whose sole purpose was to keep liberal blood pressures low, was in all-out ‘Kill Biden’ mode post-debate: On the far left, which already had its issues with Biden, the Young Turks are calling it: this race is over: The president said ‘watch me’ when pressed about his age which reached fever pitch when Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report on his investigation into the president’s mishandling of classified information where charges were not filed, due to Biden’s age and memory issues. The nation watched, Mr. President, and they saw what many of us already knew about you: you can’t do the job. CNN's post-debate poll had Trump trouncing Biden, which was no surprise: ‘Don’t believe your lying eyes’ was never a serious counternarrative. There’s no spinning this, which is why the liberal media can do only one thing: pressure this president into dropping out by relentlessly attacking him. Liberal America won’t be sleeping tonight, but you voted for this, you endorsed this—this is your mess. Across the board, the nation agrees: Joe, you're not it.
