Those few who have paid attention to China Joe Biden’s recent TV appearances and live-streams will have noticed that his wife has now become a constant presence at his side. Whether on-camera or remaining off of it, she is there.
Why do you think that’s the case? Do you think she is there because the campaign has some nifty new polling information that shows that the American public just can’t get enough of [checks notes for name] Jill Biden? Please.
Isn’t it much more likely, given China Joe’s obvious advancing impairment, that she literally hangs on his arm during these media events in order to try to keep him focused? Don’t you think she is there to pinch him when he starts wandering off on tangents or forgets what he was saying in mid-sentence? Isn’t that the kind of thing you have seen wives do when their husbands are suffering with advancing dementia?
The reality our country is facing is that the Democrat Party is attempting to pass this guy off as someone who is capable of conducting himself in the most intense and stressful office in the country. The Party is in lockstep running yet another scam, hoping it can somehow get this guy elected in November and sworn in next January before everyone finally is forced to admit that he is grimly impaired, after which whomever he [the Party] chooses as his running mate this summer can then step in to replace him.
To deluded Democrats, that obviously must sound like a great plan, because, with the exceptions of some percentage of the Bernie Bros, they are all on board with it. But it has one huge, gaping flaw that must somehow be overcome, which is the fact that accepting a nomination and running a general election campaign requires a candidate to make it competently through an array of long, live appearances on national television, the most obvious of which would be Biden’s acceptance speech and mostly likely a series of three debates with President Donald Trump.
Obviously, China Joe could probably get away with having Jill up there on the podium with him at the convention, pinching and prodding him as he struggles to focus on reading his acceptance speech. But what about the debates?
This is a guy who can barely make it through a 3-5 minute segment on Good Morning America with the toady hosts floating in Wiffle Ball questions that any competent person could win the Home Run Derby with. How is he going to possibly make it through a series of 2-hour debates with President Trump blasting in bombs on his position?
In those debates, there will be no prepared texts to read from a teleprompter, no one up there on stage with him to pinch him when he starts claiming to be the guy who wrote the Magna Carta or the Yalta agreement. Yes, the moderators will all be donors to his campaign who will do what they can to be helpful, but Donald Trump is not Mitt Romney: He won’t be up there looking to play nice and throw the election to his opponent.
At some point in the near future these realities are going to slap the leaders of the Democrat Party in the face, and they’re all going to be looking around at one another saying ‘what in the hell have we done to ourselves?’ Bernie Sanders obviously hopes that that moment will come well before the convention, which explains why he merely suspended his campaign, but refuses to release the delegates he’s already won and those he hopes to continue to collect in upcoming primaries.
Even The Commie understands that this latest Democrat scam is a bad plan that is bound to hit a brick wall at some point. The only real question is whether that moment will arrive before the convention, when the Party will have time to toss China Joe aside and hand its nomination to someone who actually knows where they are on most days, or after, when it will be too late to do anything about it.
That is all.
Great question. What does a political party do if they are stuck with an impaired candidate?
There are procedures in place for what would happen if a candidate withdraws after the convention. Many of us here remember in 1972, when VP nominee Thomas Eagleton withdrew from the McGovern ticket after the convention. He was replaced by Sargent Shriver by a vote of top Democrat party officials after the convention.
But it’s got to be a different story if they try to replace a candidate before the convention has happened. The pledged delegates to Biden are pledged to vote for him on the 1st ballot.
Now, could the Democrat powers that be change the rules, so that delegates are NOT bound to vote for their pledged candidate on the 1st ballot? A coup within the party?
“Why do you think that’s the case?”
well, someone needs to catch him if he tilts over, so who better to catch him than his sister, uh, i mean his wife ...
Everybody knows he’s a placeholder. Nobody believes he’ll be the nominee. Not even worth wasting ink on. One day, all of a sudden and without warning, he’ll lose his spot as placeholder. The exact mechanism for this isn’t important. Maybe he resigns, maybe he keels over, maybe there is some big drama at whatever passes for a nominating convention.
Is it possible that Joe himself will withdraw from the race, before the convention, which would throw open the convention?
Consider that story of the sexual assault charge against Biden. Why did that sudden surface, from an event which allegedly happened in 1993? Is that part of a coup to force Biden out of the race?
They’re now all in for the Idiot Biden.
No turning back now.
She’s as ever present as Dr. Feelgood was during Hillary’s campaign.
too late, they are putting their chips on house candidates.
Slow Joe is the Starship Troopers candidate...He’ll do until he dies or someone better comes along. He draws no excitement at all, so who thinks dimocrats will risk COVID-19 exposure to come out and hold their noses for him?
Well, Jill Biden IS a doctor you know...
Just like Elena Ceausescu.
Remember it wasn’t so long ago, that Biden’s campaign was failing.
It got revived in the South Carolina primary, as leaders such as Jim Clyburn endorsed him and campaigned for him, and then his campaign was revived and had momentum after that.
Biden is the presumptive nominee because Democrat leaders worked for him to be there, encouraged voters in primaries to vote for him, and so here we are.
” How is he going to possibly make it through a series of 2-hour debates with President Trump blasting in bombs on his position?”
Big Media and our domestic enemies want us locked down long enough so there can’t BE any debates between Pedophile Demento Plagiarist Joe and Trump.
The “Oh, no, Trump can’t open the economy YET” fearpers are on board, too.
“Now, could the Democrat powers that be change the rules, so that delegates are NOT bound to vote for their pledged candidate on the 1st ballot?”
since many states bind their primary convention delegates by law, attempts to override all of those state laws in a wholesale fashion could trigger a mini constitutional crisis should any state decide to sue, which would result in a very lengthy court battle ending at SCOTUS ...
I think Jill Biden is a PhD doctor, as opposed to a medical doctor.
You will see the first presidential campaign run by a VP candidate.
“Well, Jill Biden IS a doctor you know.”
haha ... doctor of education ...
