If President Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos was intended to reassure democrats and their voters that he’s as sharp as ever, it didn’t work. It flopped. He wasn’t as bad as he was in the debate, but he still looked feeble, unsure of himself and struggled to sound coherent.
What stood out for me was his failure to answer the question of whether he would take a neurological and cognitive test. He dodged that twice, saying he takes a cognitive test every day doing his job as president. That’s not an answer. That’s sidestepping.
Which begs the question: Why won’t he take a complete cognitive test that typically takes an hour? The answer is obvious. He couldn’t pass it! And he knows it.
Another embarrassing moment came when he was asked if he watched the debate later. His answer: “I don’t know.” He doesn’t know! He can’t remember if he watched a replay of the debate! This is serious stuff.
When asked why his did so badly in the debate, he said, “I had a bad night.” It wasn’t a bad night. It was a terrible night.
Stephanopoulos asked about his low poll numbers and Biden said, “I don’t believe them. My internal polling shows different numbers.”
But it’s nothing new. Take for instance some of his other excuses for his “bad night.” First, his aides said he had a cold. I can see where that might cause a bit of a problem, but in no way account for the muddled, disjointed answers he gave.
Then came the jet lag excuse. He said he had just travelled around the world twice to attend summits. True, but he had twelve days to recover. If he couldn’t shrug off that jet lag in twelve days, he’s not physically fit to be president.
All of this has panicked Democrats and their biggest donors. Abigail Disney is one of those megadonors and she’s said she will not give money to the Democratic Party if Biden is at the top of the ticket. Meanwhile, Democrat senators and representatives are calling for Biden to step aside. Even longtime loyalist like David Axelrod is calling for Biden to wave the white flag.
But who, then, would be their presidential nominee? They don’t have much of a bench. Names being bandied about are Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmore. Please, Please run her against Trump. Another is Governor coiffed hair, Gavin Newsom. This guy has ruined California. San Francisco, for instance, has gone from being one of the most beautiful cities in America into a cesspool of crime, homelessness and drug addicts.
Pete Buttigieg? You’ve gotta’ be kidding. Kamala Harris? Her approvals ratings are lower than Biden’s. In fact, the Dems only hope is talking Michelle Obama into parachuting in and grab the standard. Polls show she is probably the only one who could beat Trump! That would be great for the Democrats—but a disaster for America.
