At this point it's generally agreed in all but the most loyal of Biden superfan circles that the president lost Thursday night's debate, and badly.
Let’s say it right now: Donald Trump might have won the 2024 election tonight. You’d think President Joe Biden would have at least a good performance for one-third or even two-thirds of the debate. That never happened. Biden was incapable of delivering cogent and coherent remarks about the cornerstones of his presidency. He was incapable of defending what little legislative wins he clinched during his first term and was lost trying to pivot and deflect from the pointed attacks from Donald Trump.
Now the excuses will start to pour in.
The lefty loyalists will blame it on Biden having a cold:
TWITTER-X POSTS AT Link...........
Oh, sure, sure!
Meanwhile, even lefties like MSNBC's Joy Reid are sounding the Democrat alarm.
On CNN, the cable net that hosted the debate, host Erin Burnett was surprised that Biden performed so badly even though he knew what was coming:
Actually, we wouldn't be shocked if Biden knew exactly what was going to be thrown his way, and he still blew it.
That wouldn't be a shocker.
That's totally open to interpretation (cue massive eye roll).
ELDER ABUSE
Jill had to help him negotiate that ONE step off the stage at the very end.
She MAY be the most evil person out of all of them. All she cares about is herself.
She’s ready to take those Steps to being president, because stepping in and stepping out are the most important human activities achieving the next step in success!
Comrade Brezhnev has a cold. Generalissimo Franco is not feeling well. President Biden has a cold. I see a pattern here
That's actually how it used to be done, before the primary system began............
However, my grandmother and my father-in-law suffered from dementia and I'm sorry Jill is forcing her husband to endure this spectacle and humiliation. That vampire would let the world see joe crapping his diaper if it meant she could continue flying around the world at our expense.
Look, why is Biden still the 2024 Democrat nominee for President instead of Any Twosome Newsome?
Who is the architect of the radicalization of the Democrat Party? Barack Obama.
Who’s actually been running things at the White House for the last four years? Barack Obama.
Who’s radical anti-America agenda has the federal gov’t been following for the last four years to take America down? Barack Obama’s.
Unlike Any Twosome Newsome, Biden is Obama’s puppet. I don’t think the Dems want to lose Obama’s running the show at the White House.
McCartney had the answer:
Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble
Très bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
That’s all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that you’ll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble
Très bien ensemble
“...they are as afraid of Kamala Harris as we are”
Kamala would/will be just as “managed” as Biden was. She may have to be “read the Riot Act” more forcefully and frequently, but she’d obey.
Crime. If you measure crime by black people being murdered then you have to say it doubled. If you measure it by Walgreens closing stores then you have to say it doubled. If you measure it by car-jackings it more than doubled.
Border security. If you measure it by number of illegals in hotels airports and parks then its ten times more.
High prices. If you measure it by the price of a gallon of gas or a hamburger or a steak at your favorite restaurant it is up between 50 and 100 percent in just 3 years.
Foreign wars. We have two now. We had none then.
Of course he had the questions ahead of time. Even how they were worded (heavily leftist) was designed to stifle Trump and help Joe.
He still failed. This was Joe’s career - everything on the line. The entire media spectrum, left or right, were ready with the daggers if Joe didn’t knock it out of the park. Joe didn’t see it coming.
The donations are going to dry up immediately.
It really says something when these people who have been watching Joe Biden every single day, are shocked by his performance. We are not shocked. We have been watching it and commenting on it for two years. How are they shocked? They should be asking themselves what other lies do they believe that are simply not true. J6? the 2020 election? the vaccines? law-fare? When will the introspection finally begin?
I don’t know. There’s a saying that ‘only a woman who has given birth knows what it’s like when a man has a cold’.

Kamala Harris is already wondering where she can put her hookah in the Oval Office.
Yes, if it's a particularly stupid grapefruit.
Lots of parallels between what happened then and now. With a little massaging and complicit media, the PTB could rerun the Roosevelt/Truman transition and make it an epic!
Democracy is Saved!
Of course they'll have to get Biden to stop babbling and Kamala to stop cackling...
It will be the 1968 LBJ scenario all over again.
Top Democrat leaders, Obama, Clinton, Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries will go to the WH and tell Joe it’s done, fini, over.
Jill will pitch a fit.
Of course she could head them off by telling the Secret Service to not allow them access.
The you have a Constitutional situation..................
Oh please don't insult grapefruits. They are tasty. I wouldn't go there about Kamala, though, considering Willie Brown already did. (smirk)
I don’t think Burden has a cold, but viruses still float around in the summer. My sister and her husband both have one right now. Unusual, but yes, it happens.
