The general consensus was that former Vice President Joe Biden’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention cleared the bar that had been set for him.
The problem was that bar was so low that the Democratic nominee was basically hopping over the floor.
“Words kept recurring: Dignity. Normalcy. Decency. Integrity. Stability. Sanity. Family. Big-hearted. Justice. Respect. Faith. Hope. Love,” Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote in an Aug. 20 piece.
“There was little about policy from Biden, and certainly no laundry list of proposals and promises. There was no attempt to throw red meat to the political left. This was about healing and recovery.”
No, this was about sentences on a teleprompter and a man who actually had to answer questions as to whether there was enough gray matter left under those graying hair plugs to recite those words. I mean, not to belabor the point, but this was about a guy who could read and enunciate words like “dignity,” “normalcy,” “decency” and “integrity” with enough conviction that Biden cheerleaders like Milbank could write empurpled prose about “healing and recovery” and how the nominee’s speech was dripping with the milk of human kindness.
Of course, once the fireworks were over, there was the smoke that hung in the air: What would happen when Biden faced a real interview? He’d already made a fool of himself in the early days of the pandemic when there were debacles like this:

“We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse, no matter what. No matter what.” Unless he’s stanning on The Cure here — and I like “Disintegration” as much as the next former alienated teenager, but I think those might not be the priorities the moment calls for — Biden’s answer doesn’t make sense in any context.
This was “The View,” however. It’s actually physically difficult to force my fingers to type these words out, but Joy Behar’s motley crew occasionally asks mildly difficult questions of politicians, even liberals. That hurts to admit and I want to give my MacBook a shower now, but the truth hurts and Apple products are expensive.
Anyhow, if Biden wanted some placid waters to test his seaworthiness, there was no better place than Anderson Cooper’s CNN show. The issue of Jacob Blake’s shooting at the hands of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was one of the items up for discussion, and Cooper was willing to play T-ball with the Democratic nominee.
Depending on how you looked at it, Biden either grazed the top of the ball and couldn’t hit it out of the infield or missed it entirely, swung the the bat around and hit himself in the face.
Here’s video of the Thursday exchange. Pay close attention to Biden’s eyes here:

If you didn’t catch it, here’s Dickensian-named Federalist writer Tristan Justice pointing out exactly what he thought was wrong with this clip:

Cooper, a journalist who has covered both Hurricane Katrina and famine in Niger on the ground, couldn’t be bothered to point out that during every answer, the Democratic candidate very clearly looked off-camera. One assumes that he wasn’t checking his new messages on Slack.
This was true throughout the videos above, but particularly between about the 1-minute and 1:20 marks of the first clip, when Biden seemed to struggle to get through his talking points without staring off-screen every few seconds.
You can almost picture the scene. Biden: “Hold on a second there, pony soldier. My iPad crashed.” Cooper: “Take your time, Mr. Vice President.”
Cooper didn’t notice, but everyone else kind of did:

Meanwhile, check out Cooper in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s speech accepting the Republican nomination Thursday, when the CNN host was on with a “fact-checker” who called Trump a serial prevaricator:

Yeah, there was clearly that kind of fact-checking going on during Biden’s exchange with Cooper, during which the former vice president stated flat-out that he thought the president was “rooting for violence” to help his re-election chances.
Evidence: zero! Pushback from Cooper: zero!
This wasn’t even “The View” and the best that Biden could accomplish was a dead-eyed performance which caused many people to assert — though of course it’s impossible to know for sure what Biden was looking at off-screen — that our beloved dog-faced pony soldier was reading off of a script.
On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made it clear she didn’t think Biden should debate Trump.
“I don’t think that there should be any debates. I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way that has any association with truth, evidence, data and facts,” the California Democrat said.
Yes, that’s exactly why Pelosi doesn’t want Biden to debate Trump.
This was before Biden’s interview with Cooper, mind you. She didn’t need to see that, though.
The “truth, evidence, data and facts” raise some serious questions about the Democratic presidential nominee’s cognitive health. She knows that in debates, you can’t read off of a teleprompter.
Former President Barack Obama may have said it best when he reportedly told another Democrat: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f— things up.”
Democrats certainly aren’t. Just look at what happens when he’s given a T-ball interview.
Exactly and many of the BLM people view her as a cop.
But if for some wild reason Biden/Harris get into office, they will need a Harris to quell the rioting. And it will be far more violent than anything President Trump does now.
Harris is a real Soros baby. NOTE THIS WAS FIRST POSTED IN 2017! 3 years ago.
Soros, Obama Grooming Ca Senator Kamala Harris For 2020 Presidency
April 4, 2017 by Scribonius Largus

Oakland, CA- According to research and reports by the Sturgis-Fellowes Institute, billionaire George Soros and former president Obama are waging a campaign to slip the new junior California senator, Kamala Harris into the White House in 2020.
“Because there was such broad appeal for Soros’ protégé, Barack Obama, Mr. Soros has been searching for a similar candidate,” stated Archer Sturgis, executive director of the Sturgis-Fellowes Institute. “Mr Soros has enlisted former president Obama to teach senator Harris how to be silky smooth in her rhetoric and delivery.”
“Kamala has a strong background in law and is of mixed race and pretends to identify as African American, just like Obama does,” cited Justin Simpson, SFI historian. “The only difference between Kamala and Barack is gender and we all know how much democrats want to put the first woman in the White House. This should come as no real surprise, in that Soros dumped millions into the coffers of Ms. Harris’ senate bid and he has always despised Hillary Clinton but was willing to use her as a tool for domination, much as he did Obama. According to our research, Ms. Harris already has nearly a quarter billion dollars in campaign funds for the 2020 presidential bid.”
“We have been speaking to different factions of the Democratic Party, Cory Booker included, who are livid about the big donor plans for 2020,” added Sturgis. “All of these democratic senators have been sharpening their platforms and their teeth since losing the election in November. They thought they had a chance to be the party nominee on the next go around. Now they seem to have been thrown to the wolves.”
Senator Booker, the junior senator from New Jersey, has vowed to fight and block the rising star, Kamala Harris at every turn. “I have been out here fighting the right and left for 4 years!” Booker stated emphatically. “I’ll be damned if some soft squishy Californian is going to come up in here and try to push me aside in the race to lead this country. Not going to happen!”
Biden accused Trump of rooting for violence (untrue). Meanwhile the Democrats have been rooting for the shutdown, which they know will destroy the economy.
Don’t worry about that
She is blatantly ineligible because she is not a natural born citizen
She was born here to 2 foreign students
Her Jamaican father became naturalized at some point after her birth
I find no evidence her mother from India ever became a US citizen
“”””Biden literally has dementia. It’s not a meme or a joke or even a mean thing evil Republicans say about him because they are evil.””””
Mom is 93. She told e a while ago.....That Biden guy is nuts.
My guess is....his doctors are saying his system is sooooooo compromised (or he's dying) that even a tad of the virus could kill him.
Patton would give him a good slap.
Other than that, yeah, conservatives have known for a long time that Creepy Joe isn't all there. Never has been. He's just been shielded from his own intellectual deficiencies.
He will be the first Presidential candidate in recent history to not take any unrehearsed presubmitted questions and he will be the first not to debate. His dementia in now unmanageable.
There is ONE person everybody seems to be forgetting in all of this, and it AIN’T Hilliary.
It’s JILL BIDEN.
From what I’ve read, she’s just as power hungry as Hilliary and even more so.
IF Joe somehow gets elected, she will be the actual President in charge just like Edith Wilson was. She would not allow anyone but the doctor and herself close to Woodrow Wilson after his stroke. She even held cabinet meetings!..................
He was thinking “pudding.”
My guess is he’s getting worse by the day, and they know it...................
No doubt. I a now convinced he avoids debates. I hope the Trump team is prepared for that.
Leftwing thugs want CommaLa... if Biden’s team steals the election CommaLa will be President
My mother is 86, and she has dementia. For the past year and a half, she’s been tracking just a few months ahead of Biden. By 2021, he won’t even be able to do softball/setup interviews. It’s a part of life. Older people who are smart can hide it for a good while. Biden is not smart. He should be retired, with maybe a once a week prerecorded CNN bit, if he just has to stay in the game in some way, but even the ability to do that is about to go. This is insane.
That is it exactly. Biden is just a Trojan horse to get the far Left into the White House. They are using Biden to trick the halfway normal Democrats into voting for their ticket as a "safe alternative" to Trump. You know, just your "average working class Joe from Scranton." He'll look out for ya.
They just want to get Biden over the finish line. If he can somehow pull off a win, we will very quickly see President Harris with even a more far-Left VP.
This was the deal worked out back in February when all the other candidates suddenly dropped out, leaving Joe all by himself to assume the nomination. If elected, he won't serve out six months before he is replaced for "health reasons."
Of course, they will make it look good. Flanked by his wife, Joe will give a very emotional "Lou Gehrig" speech and there will be fake tears all around as "Joe from Scranton" is led off into the sunset.
Biden is a joke and just trying to stay out of jail.
Even if SKAM-ala could suck-start a Harley, that won't get her to the White House.
She married a honky and she talks non stop about how whitey is racist.
``
To have married a ‘honky’ and talk about ‘whitey’, she would have to be black.
She is a Jamaican-Tamil Hindu with near zero African blood.
With NYT and others saying “We don’t need no steenking debates!” its practically assured...........
On paper, Kamala Harris should be a perfect Democrat candidate.
````
To be near perfect she would have to be black. She’s a Jamaican-Tamil Hindu with near zero African blood.
Commie-La-La is not a likeable person, almost as bad as Hilliary................
