Biden camp blasts media, claiming debate debacle doesn’t matter

After arguably one of the most disastrous televised debate performances in American history, President Biden’s campaign continues to try to reset the nagging narrative that he shouldn’t run the country until he’s 86 years old.

And while there’s plenty to bolster the position the president doesn’t have another four years in him (from a Post poll saying 82% of people don’t think Biden should run to evidence that all he can handle is a six-hour workday), the re-election effort is nonetheless trying to convince media and the country that none of what they saw Thursday night mattered.

At a Saturday fundraiser in Red Bank, NJ, Biden attempted to diminish the importance of his first face-off with former President Donald Trump as he joked it wasn’t his “best debate ever, as Barack points out,” before moving into strategist spin.

“Since the debate, the polls show little movement and even have me up a couple points since the debate. Research during the debate shows us converting more undecided voters than Trump did, in large part because of the — his conduct on Jan. 6 as well as fighting for the working class — which he doesn’t do,” Biden said.

After casting various aspersions on Trump, Biden again resorted to self-deprecation, saying he “didn’t have a great night but neither did” Trump and admitting, as he did at Friday’s post-debate North Carolina rally, that he doesn’t “debate as well as . . . in the past.”

Biden’s embargoed remarks were delivered before but disseminated after a chief strategist’s defiant memo making the case to the media, just as the candidate himself is to donors, the debate wasn’t that bad for the president despite what people saw him do on stage — and it basically doesn’t matter.

“The debate did not change the horse...

It doesn’t matter but they kept him isolated and going over it for the week prior.

Why? I think Trump should not give him the opportunity again. He doesn’t need to give the cadaver another lifeline or a blood transfusion. I can tell you that 100+million people watched the debate and we’re not even talking about the people who are still watching debate rerun on YouTube globally. The numbers are staggering so why blow a good thing. Trump should just say he’s busy and can’t take time off from the campaign trail. That’s all he needs to say. I think the base will be infuriated if he agrees to another debate …honestly…. there’s no need he’s holding the winning card.

This is so poetic. The MSM has carried Biden’s water for years, insisting he is vigorous, focused, and on top of things. Now, if the span of ONE DAY, their Darling is a pariah to oust at all costs. Now Biden’s complaining because they are actually reporting the news and telling the truth. Most MSM outlets should be sued for misrepresenting the facts to influence and election.

Yet they won’t change because the so called opposition party won’t do anything to them, and Democrat rank and file voters continue to support them unanimously. If the political machine ain’t broke why fix it.

Biden knows “The job of the newspaper is to comfort the powerful and afflict the powerless.” and he's demanding his butt boys in the press hold to that standard.
