New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called on President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign following his poor debate showing on Thursday night, warning that deciding to run was ill-advised and made him no better than his adversary, former President Trump.
“He’s being selfish. He’s putting himself ahead of the country. He’s surrounded by opportunistic enablers. He has created a reality distortion field where we’re told not to believe what we’ve plainly seen. His hubris is infuriating. He says he’s doing this for us, but he’s really doing it for himself,” she started the column.
“I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about the other president.”
In a column titled “The Ghastly vs. the Ghostly” Dowd joined several of her New York Times columnist colleagues on Saturday morning to call on the president to step aside. On Friday, the NYT Editorial Board also called on Biden to drop out of the race.
“He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans,” the board said. “More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.”
Dowd also pointed to his debate struggles, but suggested that they indicated a much larger issue for his would-be second term.
“He didn’t just have an off night,” she wrote. “Biden looked ghostly, with that trepidatious gait; he couldn’t remember his rehearsed lines or numbers.”
“He has age-related issues, and those go in only one direction,” she continued.

That may have been billed as a debate but it quickly morphed into a collective diagnosis by millions of viewers that the medical patient was code red
Dowd:
“He has age-related issues, and those go in only one direction”
Yup—that has been true for the past four years. Even a blind chimp could see it.
They can’t write anything without taking a cheap shot at Trump. I guess its part of the mental illness that manifests itself as Democrat.
Let Biden make his case at the Democrat’s convention. The parties have conventions for a reason. Bumbling Biden, Noxious Newson and Witch Whitmer can make their cases at the convention.
It’s not up to the New York Times or some woman like Stormy Daniels or Maureen Dowd to decide who runs America.
Ghostly? More like an evil marionette! Who is pulling his strings?
Yea any Blind Chimp could see it.
It’s obvious the media whores were BLINDER THAN CHIMPS the past 3+ years.
Hmmmm. Which kind of undead is Biden?
The candidates are:
Zombie
Vampire
Mummy
Ghoul
Revenant
or?...
Do you see why we must have Trump?
Some columnist gets quoted. She is nothing but a resident of the Swamp. There is nothing elite about her beyond cyclical Swamp praise.
Eradication of Washington DC and NYC influence is why we must have Trump, and why Biden should be defended. IT IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY THAT BIDEN STAY IN THE RACE.
Whenever I hear one of those marxist dems talking about “for the good of the country” I just have to laugh. If they were really concerned about “what’s good for the country”, they would all just leave.
THE BEST THING FOR THE COUNTRY IS THAT BIDEN REMAIN RIGHT WHERE HE IS IN EVERY ASPECT.
Period.
The best thing for the country is that Trump win. Also period.
Don’t flail around about nuclear war. The dirty little secret of all that is the US has nothing that Russia doesn’t already have in greater abundance. As for Europe, ditto, and they certainly don’t want Europe’s Muslim refugees.
Mo has her cats and her box wine.
Catherine has Michael Douglas.

Yes - we want them to ride that broke-down horse all the way to November.
Suddenly a race that was all about Trump is now about BiteMe Braindead Brandon.
Exactly.
I'm interested to see what Linda Graham calls for today on XiNN's State Of The Onion with "Jake The Fake" Tapper.
That will give us some indication of what the Deep State is thinking.
“trepidatious gait”. Nice.
