Biden starting to lose it, says WSJ

…in other news, water is wet and it’s warm in the summer.

But seriously…Biden really is starting to lose it. He’s suffering a severe cognitive decline, say more than a dozen sources close to Biden. “You couldn’t be there and not feel uncomfortable,” one Capitol Hill insider said regarding a meeting they shared with President Biden in January regarding aid for Ukraine. “I’ll just say that.”

Why do Democrats hang on to power too long? They’ll lose in the end, as they lost control of the Supreme Court when Ginsberg refused to retire. “Who would you get that’s better than me?” said Her Arrogance. Well, honey…at the time, just about any highly respected circuit judge. Be funny if he loses to Trump because he can’t perform his job and suffers on camera.

Biden, incidentally, finally imposed a sweeping asylum ban on the Southern border, a mere 3.5 years too late.

BTW, there are now fights in Home Depot parking lots as Venezuelans offer their services for $11 / hour versus Mexicans who want $20 / hour.

I think they are withholding the announcement of Joe’s withdrawal from the race until after the debate at the end of June.  If he debates.  Either way, some time later and before their convention, biden drops out and they go thru their managed convention and Obama will select their candidate.  Dems love excitement and drama.  Obama will pick a dark horse (not Gavin) and the left will sweep that candidate into office on a wave of glory.  Such glory will fade when, should they win the presidency, China will invade Taiwan and Russian troops will march into Kiev.

Beyond being frustrated with the current choices in front of us . . .

I do see possibility of withdrawal if he can’t effectively debate.  even the possibility he is being set up by his own people.

Or, he will debate effectively and this will look like a rumor.

I have no idea, but I do know I am not as sharp as I was in my 20’s, and I am decades behind both primary candidates.

Agreed that Biden might pull out if it’s a debate disaster. Who takes his place, though? Newsom’s radioactive with all of California’s problems. Kamala Harris is a non-starter.

I understand why they wanted Hillary Clinton originally. The idea was you “get Bill Clinton, most popular President” and Hillary was along for the ride. But Hillary screwed up and crossed up the party by insisting on distancing herself from the Pervert-in-Chief.

Which raises the question: do they draft Michelle Obama?

Which raises the question: do they draft Michelle Obama?

I made the mistake of believing that Michelle Obama would naturally and necessarily be much preferable both to all the other Democrat contenders and to Donald Trump in the presidential elections.

Turns out not so much. A DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners indicates that Trump has a 47-44 lead over Michelle Obama. Another March poll had Ms. Obama behind by 7 points, 50-43.

Great article. Couple of thoughts:

1. Illegal immigration concerns are swamping the American zeitgeist. Case in point: In Trump’s last year, ICE apprehended 342 military age men from China. And you don’t get out of China unless they let you. Last year, they arrested 22,000 and this year so far we’ve already arrested 27,000…and we still have seven months to go.
2. Third party candidates are cropping up on the voter slate of the swing states; Cornel West, RFK JR., Jill Stein.
3. At the end of the day, Biden was electable from the vast slate of Democrats in 2020 because he was the only one who could beat Trump. All the rest, to one degree or another, alarmed typical American voters. Socialist Bernie? No thanks. He needs basic math skills. Native American Elizabeth Warren? Lord, no. Kamala? Donald Trump had ten times as many write-in votes in the Dem primary as Harris had in NH when she finished 14th. with 129 votes and Trump had 1,217 write in votes.

People thought Trump would be the moderate. In the four years since, he’s pursued Progressive policies almost exclusively.

New CNN poll, some interesting findings. Shows that Kamala is the strongest Dem contender, but no one beats Trump in the general election.

Most interesting is the last graph, that which asks the voter’s motivation; e.g., “Are you for your candidate or against the opposing candidate?” Trump’s supporters are largely pro-Trump. Biden’s supporters are largely anti-Trump.
