Mika: Why not approve a search of her name in those [Univ. of Delaware] records?
Biden: [3 second silence] Approve a search of her name.
Mika: Yes, and anything that might be related to Tara Reade in the University of Delaware records.
Biden: [2 second silence] There IS nothing. They wouldn’t, they, they’re not there. And if they ha, if, if its th, I, I, I, o, uh, you know, I don’t understand what y-, the point you’re trying to make.
Mika: The point I’m trying to make is…
Biden: There are no personal records by definition…
Mika: …you are…the point I’m trying to make is that you are approving and actually calling for a search at the National Archives records of everything pertaining to Tara Reade. [speaking sloooowwwwly now] I’m asking why not do the same in the University of Delaware records, which have raised questions [Biden shuts his eyes tightly now] because they were supposed to be revealed to the public and then they were sealed for a longer period of time. Why not do it for both sets of records?
Biden: Because th-, the material [rapid eye-blinking now] in th-the d, University of Delaware has no personnel files and it has, but it does have a lot of confidential conversations that I had with the President about a particular issue, that I had with the heads of state of other places…that that would not be something that would be revealed while I was in public office or while I was seeking public office. It just stands to reason…the best of my knowledge, no one else has done that either. [looks like he’s begging for sympathy at this point]
Mika: [Trying make it clear once again] I’m just talking about her name, not anybody else in those records, a search for that.
Biden: [5 seconds of silence]
Mika: [Tries yet again] Nothing’s classified, not with a president or anybody else. [Very sloooowly one more time] I’m just talking about a search for Tara Reade’s name, in the University of Delaware records.
Biden: [3 more seconds of silence, and rapid eye-blinking] Look, I’m, uh, I mean, who-who-who, you know, does that search? [Goes silent again]
Mika: [clearly frustrated that her efforts to do this idiot a favor are failing] The University of Delaware, uhhhh, perhaps you set up a commission that can do it? I don’t know, whatever is the fairest way to create the most transparency.
Biden: [groans] Well, this is… look. Mika. She says she filed a report. She has her employment records still. She said she filed a report with the only…
[End]
Wow.
To be clear, I had assumed this would be your classic effort by the fake news media to perform what the political pros refer to as an “inoculation interview.” That’s the process in which a candidate facing a tough issue sits down with a carefully-chosen corrupt interviewer like Mika to do a carefully-constructed interview in which the questions were all vetted in advance. The candidate provides carefully-worded answers drafted by staffers to those pre-approved questions, and the interview ends. The rest of the corrupt news media outlets then take the position that the questions have been “asked and answered,” and refuses to address them going forward on the ground that they are now “old news.”
In watching the interview, I still believe that was the plan going in, and things appeared to be going fairly smoothly until Biden chose to dissemble in answer to this particular, very simple question. I feel sure that Morning Mika fully expected Biden to answer with, “Sure, we can do that if you want to, but I already know that there’s no personnel records there – they’re all in the National Archives.” Something like that, anyway.
But he didn’t do that, and it obviously caught Mika off-guard.
It is also quite obvious that, midway through the interview, as Biden became increasingly incoherent, Mika suddenly realize that, oops, all those people who have been saying this guy is not right in the head are – gasp! – right. You can see it in her face and in the way she spends two solid minutes attempting to baby him through what is a very softball question with an easy answer, treating him at several points in the same way one would treat a 3 year-old toddler.
Thus, what was no doubt intended to be an inoculation interview suddenly turned into a potential death knell for a presidential campaign. These two minutes of video will now be used repeatedly, over and over and over again, by the Trump campaign and supporting Super PACs to flood the airwaves with ads that will devastate Biden if he ends up being the nominee.
Somewhere, Hillary Clinton is drafting the acceptance speech she will give after the big money Democrat donors convince Biden to hang it up in a month or so, and the DNC hands her its nomination for one final swing at the presidency.
Biden won’t be the nominee. Not after this.
That is all.
> Because Orange Man Bad. <
That is absolutely the bottom line. The DNC is not looking for the most qualified person to be president. They are looking for the person most likely to beat Trump.
They would run Harvey Weinstein from his jail cell if - for some reason - polls showed Weinstein decisively beating Trump.
Joe was NEVER going to be the nominee!! WHY did Tara Reade come out NOW??? How much MONEY are the Clintons Paying her??
So, let me get this straight. You’re saying that Biden will step aside for Hillary? What are the Bernie people going to do then? What if Biden doesn’t step aside, then one day before the election the guy has a massive stroke, can or will they postpone the election?
We should all be very quiet about this until it’s all over and Trumps is officially facing him in the general. His boat is nearly sunk, but it’s too soon for the coup de gras.
Hilary is fit, rested and ready.
Her Ole Man is not going to be happy with the princess on this one
She knows Joe can not handle a campaign...it is time for Hillary!!!!!!!!
Please don’t dust him this early. Let him falter in September. It’s much too soon. The Dems can recover if he goes down before the convention.
Let him alone for now....
How about this? After all, it worked for Bill Clinton.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky Tara Reade."
This is all a setup for Hitlery to come to the July democrap convention.
I agree with your assessment. It was a standard softball interview. Biden hit enough dribblers to get on base. I don’t see this Reade thing going anywhere.
Bernie still has his delegates and they have not been released. I wouldn’t be surprised if he jumped back in.
No, but makes me wonder if the Electoral College comes into play in that scenario. After all, we do not vote for president... instead, we vote for electors who vote for president.
Oops. It looks like Mika actually believed Biden going into that question. She was desperately trying to guide him through the controversy but his response made it clear to her that he was lying. The look on her face when the light came on is both revealing and priceless.
He’s hiding the truth.
The bad news is that Biden might get replaced by someone who might give Trump a run for the money. I don’t think Biden can recover from this. Hopefully I’m wrong. Maybe Biden will offer Tara Reed the VP slot if she retracts her allegation.
Dems ran stroke-addled Woodrow Wilson in 1920, and doddering, soon-to-die FDR in 1944. No reason for them to dump Senile Joe.
I can’t believe that outfit Hillary’s wearing. I’m older than she is (not by much), and if somebody held that rag up for me to wear, I’d think they were nuts. Not in a million years would I even wear that around the house! And yes, I am a woman ;-)
> Was Mika given the go ahead for the take down? <
Great question. Will Mika be scolded when she comes into work Monday? Or will she be given an envelope full of cash?
He’s their guy.Dems don’t care.
BillyBob’s popularity skyrocketed after the DNA was discovered.
