The Debate Was A Kabuki Performance That May Have Opened Democrats’ Eyes

You might think what you saw on Thursday night was a debate. It wasn’t. Well, technically, it was in that it had all the requisite elements to it, i.e., candidates, microphones, moderators, TV cameras, etc. Make no mistake, however. What you were watching was a highly scripted, highly choreographed Kabuki theater play that you weren’t supposed to recognize as such.

Every single American with a functioning brain already knew that Joe Biden was mentally unfit for the position he held. From the stumbling to the bumbling to the mumbling, it was crystal clear to anyone looking. Despite that, we’ve been told by everyone from the press secretary to members of Congress to the media and every Democrat who could get in front of a camera that Biden was not only capable but robust.

That, of course, was a lie. We knew it was a lie, but they kept saying it, over and over as if their repeating it would make it real. They had to keep up the facade of Biden’s competency until it was no longer needed.

One must wonder why the Trump campaign agreed to such an early debate. He and his team had to know that the debate was going to demonstrate to the country that muttonhead was indeed incapable of managing a debate, never mind running the country, something that would necessitate the party replacing him. Napoleon once said: ‘Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.’ So, why is the Trump campaign facilitating the replacement of a zombie as their enemy with someone who, by default, would be a stronger opponent?

Life imitates art. “Weekend at Bernie’s” was fiction. Four years at Biden’s is reality.

My 98 yearold FIL watches nothing but MSNBC and he thinks Rachel Madcow is a genius. She has him convinced the whole family is brainwashed.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Requires rational thought for many and for that number it’s a bridge too far!

Given that Obama and the Clintons are rallying around Biden, this theory is looking less and less likely to be true.

If Biden won't go voluntarily, there is no way to replace him with anyone other than Kamala Harris, who is just as bad a candidate. And, Dr. Jill doesn't seem intent on giving up her power.

And this makes it much more likely that leftist Judge Merchan will jail Trump for a long sentence.

I'm not so sure about that. The whole country saw Trump looking and sounding Presidential on stage - it's a lot harder to jail a recently visible, high profile politician on specious charges than it is to level such charges against a guy CNN/MSNBC viewers have not seen in a long time except in memes calling him a liar and a traitor.

Biden is now greatly weakened - and they might be stuck with him. Making Trump into a martyr at this time would be a spectacular error.

Their smarter option would be to coerce Merchan into dismissing the case because of the jury "error" - then they can still claim Trump is a convicted felon who got off on a technicality, and snidely suggest his wealth allowed him to rig the result in his favor, blunting Trump's own arguments about a rigged 2020 election.

The best thing that could happen for the Democrats is for Kamala to ... well, expire in some form ... so they could replace her with somebody competent and less dopey. Then they could install the new person as VP and either 25th Amendment the old geezer or let him take office (assuming he gets elected). There’s no chance he will live through a second term so the new veep is the new prez.

...'figured it was more of a fat lady performance.

But the democraps are completely corrupt, and half the country is completely moronic.

...so let the insanity continue.

I didn’t think it was bad that these two simpletons argued
online! I thought it was great.

Some of us denigrate Fox, and sometimes good reason to criticize; however, Fox does have the best people and best formats!

The rest of the garbage is peopled with narcissistic fops and they’re responsible for having the worst president in the history of the Republic land perhaps the worst leader in the entire world! Buyme and his crew rank right up there with “Caligula, et al.
