This Is How Biden Loses (Democrat Journalists now in a panic over Biden)
The Atlantic ^ | AUGUST 28, 2020 | George Packer

Posted on 08/29/2020 7:29:07 PM PDT by sickoflibs

Subtitle :"Nothing will harm a campaign like the wishful thinking, fearful hesitation, or sheer complacency that fails to address what voters can plainly see."

Here is a prediction about the November election: If Donald Trump wins, in a trustworthy vote, what’s happening this week in Kenosha, Wisconsin, will be one reason. Maybe the reason. And yet Joe Biden has it in his power to spare the country a second Trump term.

Joe Biden doesn’t have it in his power to speak two coherent sentences.

Prove me wrong, dems, let’s debate!

my gosh what a f**kpile of blather! ... atlantic must pay by the syllable ...

here’s a reader’s digest summary:

1. orange man bad, berry, berry bad.

2. BUT, polls show voters don’t like anarchy and thus Democrats and Biden need to pretend to condemn the rioters (and maybe even make an effort to stop the anarchy) while at the same time soulfully shedding tears on camera for the black (criminal) “victims” shot by berry, berry bad cops ...

"without a script"

Watch this "interview" with Anderson Cooper. Biden is clearly reading from a script (scroll down to the third video)...

What's Up with Joe? Biden Stares Off-Camera, Struggles To Make It Through Softball Interview.

He cannot make it through a softball interview with a CNN suck-up. Biden is pathetic.

The media drumbeat gathers strength:

“Democrats must emphatically pretend they are opposed to crime and riots!!”

The article makes a major false assumption—that senile Biden is a coherent intelligent human being.

Fatal error!

By the time the Democrats realize they have been fooled by their own propaganda it will be too late.

“...Biden blowing any debate. But when he debated Sarah Palin, he was ruthless...”

That was twelve years ago. Since then Biden has sunk into dementia. His wife is now Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. If Biden appears in live TV debate now, Trump will pulverize him.

So the Dems will propose all kinds of debate conditions which PDJT will reject out of hand (`fact’ checkers, Biden wearing an earpiece, Rachel Maddow moderating, etc.) and they will then crow that Trump was “afraid to debate”.

I hope Trump insists that both he and Biden submit to drug testing.

The President should announce he will not participate in elder abuse, and will not debate Biden until a panel of experts (with members chosen by both parties) certifies that Biden is mentally competent to serve as President.

Her words fall like a healing rain over the grief and the fires of this terrible year. She speaks to the whole country, to our shared humanity...

George Packer doesn't get it... the mother speaks to 'white liberal elites' - she doesn't speak to me. She raised a criminal... I'm glad she loves him - but most of the country (including me) is sick of black criminals and the endless pity parties for them. It's time for the black community to take some responsibility for the crap they're inflicting on the rest of us.

There were less than a dozen cases of 'unarmed' black men being killed by police in 2019. In the same year thousands of black citizens were murdered by black men. Take a deep breath George Packer and get real...

Despicable scumbags. They will do anything for their side to win. If they thought that machine gunning Trump supportes on the streets will help their side they would advocate for that.

FWIW, when Biden debated Sarah Palin he was NOT “obviously afflicted with adult onset senility”.

In the coming months, my 10YO niece could defeat Biden in a debate, as he is NOW pitiful & NOT “of sound mind”.

Biden is TOAST on 03NOV20 & may well take the rest of the DIMocRATS slate of clowns down with him.

Yours, TMN78247

I predict Trump will win the national popular vote this time.

He will get “unexpected” votes from:

Hispanics in California;

Jews in New York;

Catholics;

Blacks (men, not women);

Ex-Democrats in Washington, Oregon, Chicago, and elsewhere.

But he won’t get many votes from the snooty liberals in places like Mount Lebanon, a suburb of Pittsburgh.

When George Stephanopoulos interviewed Biden a couple months ago he asked Biden about the Flynn investigation. Biden denied having any knowledge about it. When George reminded him of the White House meeting he had in January 2017,he said something like, oh, I thought you said the prosecution of Flynn.

Joe was pretty quick on his feet then and wormed his way out pretty skillfully.

It’s a race to see who gets to Kenosha first, however, if Biden were to now announce that he is going to Kenosha it’ll look like he’s following the leader, (PDJT), who announced the trip yesterday, if my memory is correct.

This is going to be so ripe for PDJT tweets and speeches. LOL

Biden has lost quite a few steps in the last dozen years. There have been several videos doing a compare and contrast. And even though the media insisted that Hillary won all of her debates...I don’t believe she ever was able to knock Trump off of his stride.

Trump apparently has no trouble standing up and talking for an hour. The media was thrilled that Biden was able to get through his acceptance speech with no major gaffes, although there were a few glitches along the line.
