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.
He actually said he doesn’t want his personal Univ Del Senate records opened during a campaign .
Gee I wonder why ?
Where’s Hunter ?
Looks to me they’ve already declared Biden finished and are just waiting for the big reveal that Hillary is back.
The only possible explanation is that she wants someone else to be the nominee.To believe for a millisecond that she has a shred of genuine decency in her soul is delusional.
Mika wants Hillary to ride to the rescue
Considering Joe’s past speaking he handled this well. I didn’t see that this destroyed his Campaign at all as the header reads.
And yes she asked tough questions but was very gingerly about it....as if she was careful not to disturb his concentration.
Fox has been giving Mark Cuban a lot of air time. Im leaning more to him as a replacement. It would be a smart move for the Dems.
I watched the entire interview. I was pleasantly surprised that Mika was not lobbing softball questions. Also surprised Biden was mostly coherent. One Conclusion...Mika sees an opportunity to vote for Hillary again.
” I’ve been saying, for quite some time, somehow it will be Hellary...and she’s just offstage waiting “
Great minds and all that ...I’ve been saying for a LONG time as well . Biden is toast . It’ll be Hillary . Not sure who’ll be her VP , though . 30+ million unemployed in USA . Officially in a depression . Thank you deepstate , Demonrats , the commie media ...All to get Trump out of office ...Quite possible that they will succeed .
> He actually said he doesn’t want his personal Univ Del Senate records opened during a campaign . <
Right. And Biden’s excuse was that those records contained confidential conversations. But Mika would not let him slide on that! She then asked him why not authorize a search for just “Tara Reade”. Biden had no coherent answer for that.
Mika gets an “A” grade from me on this interview. Like I said earlier, I was amazed. It was tough but fair journalism.
Could they bring Sanders back? Instead of Biden the Feeler it’s Feel the Bern!
How amazing it is that then Businessman Donald Trump is eviscerated for saying (in a private conversation with another Man) that Groupies will let you grab their private parts (which is true), but Joementia Biden actually does it to a Woman who is not a willing participant and he is protected by the DNC and their accomplices in the Media.
As Nancy Pelosi just said, Joe Biden is Joe Biden...
Dems ran stroke-addled Woodrow Wilson in 1920,
No, Wilson was reelected in 1916, and had his stroke in October 1919. He was not a candidate for reelection in 1920.
FDR was in poor health in 1944, and many expected that he wouldn’t survive a 4th term in office. But as you indicate the Democrats let him run for reelection anyway.
Back then it was easier to conceal the health of a president. So I’m sure many people didn’t realize the state of FDR’s health at that time. Many didn’t know he was wheelchair bound back in those days either.
I think the only reason they did a hard interview is because even a dummy like her can see that Biden is a total, incontrovertible loser in the election.
They want him out. Destroying him suits their purposes.
She is not a journalist asking hard questions that should be asked, she is a Leftist hack trying to serve the purposes of the Democrat Party...
All he had to do is say, "Sure, we've already done that scan of UDelaware Archives and we're releasing those results after this interview."
Meanwhile UD has deleted any reference to Reade weeks ago.
But no, he took it as, "Zbig's daughter is challenging ME?! THAT SAUCY TART! THAT MINX! I'M THE SENATOR FROM DELAWARE! I'll show her a thing or two."
And then he brain-farted.
And she came at him again.
Finally his exective functions, his "id", can still process politics. 'SOS...SOS...Hey, Joe, you fraud, you dumbass, this question is legit, just side-step it.'
And his ego said, f^ck it. Cause he don't want to be President for one nanosecond. Just. Like. Cankles.
Bernie only ‘suspended’ his campaign so theoretically he could jump back in. However I don’t think the Demrats would support him as representative of their party by any measure. ...but if there’s an election to loose they could let Bernie be the one to loose it.
I think Blackmon is being wildly optimistic about the death of the Biden campaign.
Joe’s a goner.
“It does have a lot of confidential conversations that I had with the President ...”
Actually, they’re not confidential. They are public records but the presidential records act gives a special dispensation to the P or VP to block public access for up to 12 years after they leave office.

That was the intent. The fix is in. The only question is who will replace SloJoe when he steps (is forced) aside.
