During the week since President Joe Biden’s awful debate performance, spinners for his re-election campaign slowly began to admit what actually happened. Their desperate efforts to erase history could not blot out what 50 million viewers saw and heard. The conclusion is inescapable: Biden cannot be a credible candidate to defeat Donald Trump this fall.
Unfortunately, Biden’s ego has proven to be much more resilient than his cognition. His loved ones and sycophants, in concentric inner and outer circles, cling to talking points that are patently dishonest, often preposterous, and virulently dangerous for prospects of preventing a second Trump presidency. By whistling past the graveyard of Biden’s credibility as a viable candidate in 2024, the pretenders are doing a huge disservice to all who want to avert a full takeover of the U.S. government by the fascistic Republican Party.
