The democrats have the means to cheat Joe Biden into another term. The problem is that they have to sell a victory as plausible. If they can’t, their cheat becomes undeniable.
After last night, there is no plausible explanation that will be accepted by the American people. If Biden were to win, the people would believe fully that the elections were rigged. Once that happens, they believe that the system provides them no peaceful recourse for change. The alternative becomes feasible.
The Dems know this and are now forced to find a candidate who they can point to as having won “fair and square” despite knowing the opposite. But their talking heads could continue to shout “election denier” to anyone who objects.
Newsom provides that plausibility. They can point to his youth and style as
a shield against charges of a rigged election. Biden, not so much of anything to point to after last night.
At one point, the persons controlling the microphone forgot their 2-1-1-1 rule and allowed an actual debate.
This rule actually favored Trump because it prevented him from interrupting and being seen as overbearing.
Agreed. The moderators did not argue with, not debate Trump like they did in 2020.
That right there will become as memorable as “are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
IMHO, last night's CNN bias was similar to the leftist media before Bush Jr became prez. The "news" media had bias from as far back as I can remember (Reagan) but used to try to hide it and pretend to be objective, while us conservatives called them out on it. We often felt like nobody else could see it.
But as the years went by the media's bias became more and more obvious, especially kicking it up a bunch of notches after Bush Jr became prez., then more in the Obama years, then kicking it up a lot more after Trump came down the escalator. It's like they no longer even bother trying to hide it anymore.
Until last night. Last night's CNN looked like "moderators" from the 80's and 90's with "hidden" bias instead of overt bias.
As for Biden, a combined approach by Harris, Obama, Schumer, and other Democratic heavyweights would be able to convince Jill and then Joe to relinquish the nomination. There could also be a whispered threat by the Democrats to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Biden from office if does not give up the nomination.
When the moderators didn’t try to debate Trump you just knew the decision to dump Joe was already made. Their marching orders were to just sit back and let it happen.
In every debate the questions and issues always are chosen to favor the dem and to be be what the democrats would have chosen.
