Joe Biden’s Catastrophic Debate Performance Sends Dems into Panic Mode
American Greatness ^ | 27 Jun, 2024 | Debra Heine

Posted on 06/28/2024 4:15:20 AM PDT by MtnClimber

After a full week of debate prep, and with CNN’s thumb on the scales, Joe Biden’s debate performance was abysmal and has been universally panned as a ‘catastrophe’ for Democrats.

“OPERATION REPLACE BIDEN,” the Drudge headline screamed Thursday night. “DEMS SCRAMBLE WITH 130 DAYS TO GO. DEBATE CATASTROPHE.”

CNN morning host Kasie Hunt wrote on X before the debate was over that Biden’s weak demeanor had all her Democrat friends “nearly beside themselves.”

“The voice, open-mouthed look, and visual contrast between President Biden and former President Trump all have Democrats I’m talking to nearly beside themselves watching this debate,” she said.

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl said Democrats are saying “Biden is so diminished it’s undeniable now.”

“It’s hard for me to accurately describe what a disaster thus was for Joe Biden,” said liberal commentator Chris Cillizza.

The main issue he is dealing with in this campaign is that voters think he’s too old to be president. They’re worried about his ability to do the job, they’re worried that 81 is just too old.

He could not have affirmed those fears more if he tried!

In a piece at the New York Time’s, columnist John Healy wrote: “I’m Hearing High Anxiety From Democrats Over Biden’s Debate Performance.”

Nicholas Kristof wrote on X: “I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention. Someone like @gretchenwhitmer or @SherrodBrown or @SecRaimondo could still jump in and beat Trump.”

NBC News anchor Chuck Todd said people were watching the debate to see if either of the candidates would look like “the caricature that the other campaign had tried to paint of him. And at the end of the day, Joe Biden looks like the caricature that conservative media has been painting.”

Todd said that he has been talking to other Democrats and “there’s a full on panic about this performance.”

From start to finish, Biden looked and sounded weak. His voice was raspy, he stumbled repeatedly over his words, and told stale, long-debunked lies like the “very fine people” hoax and military “suckers and losers” hoax. When the topic turned to the border, Biden falsely claimed that the Border Patrol union had endorsed him.

“By the way the border patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position,” Biden said, as former President Trump shook his head in disbelief.

Border Patrol Union (NBPC) immediately responded on X: “To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden.”

During the CNN roundtable after the debate, the network’s liberal pundits shared their dismay at Biden’s performance.

Former Obama advisor David Axelrod said that “there was a sense of shock” at how Biden sounded. “He seemed a little disoriented,” Axelrod said.

“There’s real concern here tonight that’s there’s real damage that’s been done that cannot be undone,” said CNN anchor Abby Phillips. “Biden solidified the perception among voters … that he cannot do this for another four years.”

“That was painful,” said CNN’s political analyst Van Jones, adding that he “loves Joe Biden,” but “he didn’t do well at all.”

“This was a game-changing debate,” said CNN anchor John King. “There is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic party. It started minutes into the debate, and it continues right now.”

King said that there are conversations already happening about Biden’s “dismal” performance between party strategists, elected officials and party fundraisers who believe Biden has become a drag on the party..

“And they’re having conversations about what they should do about it,” he said. “Some of those conversations include, “should we go to the White House and ask him to step aside, and other conversations are about should prominent Democrats go public with that call because they think this debate was that terrible.”

“It started minutes in, it started with the first couple of answers, and it’s continued throughout the night from ‘oh my G-d, oh my G-d, oh my G-d, to what should we do about this?” King said. “And it involves very senior people in the Democratic party, including elected officials saying, “we have a problem.”

Replacing Biden on the 11th hour has been the plan, all along.

Expect Hillary or Newsome.

Democrats have done extensive studies that, the more people know an actual Democrat candidate, the less they like him or her. That’s why they hid Biden and Hillary.

They get an initial bump while people just get the glittering generalities.

So some new (or perhaps nostalgic) face will pop up and jump in at the last moment and be on the ticket only during the last bump.

This was all planned, all choreographed, and all pre-determined.

Our best hope is Jill Biden and Dementia Joe refusing to let go of the reighns.

If Wes Moore is the final, official choice for the D’s, then Trump will have trouble. Wes Moore is young, black, and has a very likable personality.

black women will vote for the democrat candidate regardless of who that is; yellow dog, blue dog, black women are indifferent to the specific candidate.

Actually, the dems have figured out how to destroy the primary system with Joe's performance. Now the movers and shakers can go into a back room and make their own decision on who the candidate will be. All they need to do is get Joe off the ballot. Seeing how the dems have perverted the American Form of Government, do you think they care about niceties such as rules? "This is an emergency!" The convention will go along with it/

Maybe they get joe to resign after the convention, and let Kammy be President for a few months. That would pop that historical zit and allow the movers and shakers to proceed, for the best interest of their constituents, which is them.

“From start to finish, Biden looked and sounded weak.”

He is weak. That in itself is the ageing process at work, but for sake of our country he should months ago have started working with others to find a good successor.

The causes the Democrat Party supports will suffer because of this mistake, assuming the Republicans win. Being a Republican, I will be happy to see that.

Will Black Women vote for a White Man like Gavin Newsome after the Democrat Party Establishment arranges for him to step over a Black Woman who happens to be VP?

A sizable percentage of them will be pissed. They won’t vote Republican but they just won’t show up. Just that would be an absolute catastrophe for the Democrat Party not only in the presidential race but down ballot too. They can’t have that.

Harris can be bought off. There will be bribes aplenty to get this deal done. I figure Heels Up will be promised something like the ambassadorship to Paris or London and all the weed she can smoke.

Heels Up cannot be fobbed off with some minor role like that. She's got pole position (see what I did there?) for the presidency. She will cling to it like grim death.

It isn’t Cameltoe that needs to be bought off, it’s Jill Biden. She loves being in the White House and is willing to flush the democrats down the drain to keep her chance for a second Biden term.

If she refuses to let Joe drop out then the dems are in trouble.

I can’t imagine how many u it’s of Botox they injected into Biden last week, It will take months for it to subside. If they thought he has Parkinson’s, Botox is an experimental drug for it.

I believe Trump knew too the SS talks. That might be why the campaign started a series of Kamala Ads so early.
