The Biden campaign has got to be the biggest joke in U.S. presidential history at this point. Here we are, just 42 days before Election Day, and the Democrat Party’s Unfrozen Caveman Candidate is so feeble that his handlers are keeping him holed up in his basement for the 2nd time in just the last 4 days:
The distressing thing is that this is nothing new at all for the Biden campaign, which has had to put a lid early on random mornings at least once or twice a week for months now as their elderly, declining candidate recuperates. Speculation continues to grow that Biden is mainlining some form of anti-dementia medication as he has had an omni-present needle mark on his left hand for weeks now:
His elder-abusing campaign handlers called a lid on Saturday by 8:00 a.m. Today, they waited until 9:22, perhaps because they had hoped he might be able to keep whatever TelePrompter speech to a fake audience they had schedule for him. But yesterday’s trip to Wisconsin obviously proved too much for Creepy Uncle McWifeMolester, and so the Campaign That Never Was is left without a ticket-topper for another day.
That’s a big problem since Democrat leaders have obviously decided they cannot push the god-awful campaigner Kamala Harris out front whenever Biden is unable to perform. Why they ever thought things would be any different with Harris than they were last year, when she turned off everyone she met during her utterly failed nomination pursuit, is a real mystery. She is just the most incurably dislikeable person on earth.
Meanwhile, as the Biden/Harris Harris/Biden ticket was attempting to revive its candidate, Senate Republicans continued to telegraph that they will not only plan to vote on President Trump’s nominee prior to Election Day, but they also have the votes to get that candidate confirmed. That’s the message sent by both Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham and Judiciary member Ted Cruz, but also by Leader Mitch McConnell.
Their confidence was shored up this morning by none other than the King of the RINOs Mitt Romney, who released the following statement:
“The Constitution gives the President the power to nominate and the Senate the authority to provide advice and consent on Supreme Court nominees,” the Utah Republican said in a statement. “Accordingly, I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the President’s nominee. If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications.”
During a brief press availability in a Senate Office Building hallway, Romney clarified that he will support whatever process Graham and McConnell agree to on the nomination. He further clarified that he would not – unlike fellow RINOs Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski – object to a process that results in holding the confirmation vote before Election Day.
Despite some very misleading media reports that followed his remarks, however, Romney did NOT commit to voting to confirm the Trump nominee, which is fine. Frankly, it’s hard for any senator to commit to voting to confirm a nominee whose name is currently unknown.
The President himself made it clear that he will name his nominee on Saturday, and plans to meet with potential nominee Barbara Lagoa on a campaign trip to Florida on Friday, as reported by Axios:
President Trump plans to meet with shortlisted Supreme Court candidate Barbara Lagoa during a campaign visit to Florida on Friday, according to two sources familiar with his plans.
What we’re hearing: Sources who know both Trump and Lagoa say they still expect the president to pick Judge Amy Coney Barrett, but they view the Lagoa meeting as a wild card because they say she has a charismatic personality that would appeal to Trump.
The majority view in Trump’s inner circle is that Barrett would be easier to confirm because senators are familiar with her. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has told Trump that senators feel comfortable with Barrett. A source close to the process said anything that complicates the confirmation proceedings — and allows more time for Democrats to inject “mischief” — is to be avoided at all costs. More education would be needed for senators who are less familiar with Lagoa, the source added. Trump met with Barrett at the White House on Monday. [End]
So, the nomination appears to have come down to Lagoa or Amy Coney Barrett.
Trump Confirms Barbara Lagoa, Amy Coney Barrett on Supreme Court Short List
Both women are incredibly well-qualified to fill this seat, and anyone voting against either of them would be doing so for purely partisan reasons.
Later today, after putting in a full day of work, the President will travel to Pittsburgh where he will speak for an hour or two before yet another massive campaign rally. All of that and more while his feeble opponent is recuperating in his basement.
That’s basically the state of this campaign.
That is all.
How will the pedophile’s handlers manage to weasel out of next week’s debate?
Yet, basically the media tell us that the win is a lock for Biden!
I figured they would call it today, since he was out and about yesterday.
I wonder where *was* he supposed to go today, if anything at all was planned?
That might not be far from the mark for Biden, given this era of legalization, medicinal needs, dispensaries, pain relief... and perhaps dementia relief.
He’s ahead in every “poll”, no need to campaign
“His elder-abusing campaign handlers...”
LOL!
Oh, yeah, just what a confused, forgetful, delusional, sluggish old coot needs... pot. Should work wonders.
The number of Trump supporters who showed up in Manitowoc, WI yesterday at the Clueless Joe appearance was great. Trump flags were everywhere - lined the Biden travel routes for blocks.
Wonder if Clueless Joe’s handlers told him that the parade was for him and not President Trump.
The dems have to be sweating over that... the debates will be held late in the evening, when Biden's cognitive decline will be most evident. I'm expecting a COVID-positive announcement about Biden any day now.
So confident Biden Harris have already ordered the barge and fireworks its over kids
This has got to be the most absurd election in US history, or the history of any “real” country.
The only way Biden wins is through overt voter fraud.
That was my thought too. When I heard the term ‘Lid’, my
inner-70’s-self kicked in. We, I mean they, used to call a measured amount of Mary Jane a ‘Lid’.
The Trump flags were camouflage to hide from the Trump campaign how many people really support Slow Joe. /s/
Yes they are. The amount of massive mail in ballot fraud, and state legalized no ID, ballot harvesting and the like makes me wonder if campaigning in the traditional sense will have a determinative effect.
I think Trump waiting until Saturday to announce out of respect for Justice Ginsburg is misplaced.
They need every day to start hearings. Not like he will ever get credit for his humanity!
OTOH, he is pretty shrewd and he may need to meet with Lagoa to assess how strong a conservative she is. Frankly, she should be much easier to get approved with less rancor (and pick up Florida) than Barrett.
However, the risk of another Souter or Roberts is too large. Trump has to be absolutely certain she won’t flip left once she starts hanging with the “Wise Latina” Sotomayer. We know Barrett will hold the line. Either way, a week or two of Catholic bashing is on its way!
I’ve thought about that, and unless the Rats really want him to be replaced at this late date, it would only scare their voters, even IF he “miraculously” recovers in just UNDER 14 days.
I’m thinking some fake, perceived or real “national emergency” will be their ploy, but it would have to be real good to avoid Trump and us calling him and his handlers cowards.
Unless they really do intend to replace him at this late date.
