Opinion: To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial
The Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | June 29, 2024 | by The Editorial Board

Posted on 06/30/2024 4:11:32 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Joe Biden’s debate performance was a disaster. His disjointed responses and dazed look sparked calls for him to drop out of the presidential race.

But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.

In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

Yes, Biden had a horrible night. He’s 81 and not as sharp as he used to be. But Biden on his worst day remains lightyears better than Trump on his best.

Biden must show that he is up to the job. This much is clear: He has a substantive record of real accomplishments, fighting the pandemic, combating climate change, investing in infrastructure, and supporting working families and the most vulnerable.

Biden has surrounded himself with experienced people who take public service seriously. He has passed major bipartisan legislation despite a dysfunctional Republican House majority.

Biden believes in the best of America. He has rebuilt relationships with allies around the world and stood up to foes like Russia and China.

There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be.

LMAO. “Our guy is senile, but your guy is even worse!!”

You can tell the memo has gone out to rip Trump for “lying” or all the various “phobias” - but conveniently leaving out any examples of the same. Because there weren’t any true examples.

When I attended school in Philly 50 years ago, Philadelphia vote fraud was the stuff of legends.

I have read nothing to suggest that anything has improved since then, or that it's not even worse.

Th serve their country, Philadelphia should run honest elections.

Forget about partisans they well justify anything, Biden barely won last time; unless they put Trump in jail as his polls numbers have not collapsed he will win easily. Expect big media push around time of sentencing...just like the talking point the Trump lied during debate...these people truly have TDS...any normal thinking person was horrified by Biden debate performance as they have been feed daily diet of BS past years...he has no chance.

This explains a lot. From 2019...

Three years into nonprofit ownership, The Philadelphia Inquirer is still trying to chart its future Buyouts, rebranding, good journalism, and a vision still in progress: The Philadelphia Inquirer has had quite a summer. The metro newspaper business is still tough, even without a hedge fund or private equity pulling the strings.

In 2025, ALL these democrat propaganda organs are going to cease to exist. They have shirked their duty and 1st amendment rights as an impartial press. The same goes for the “news” broadcasters.

Never forget, Joseph Goebbels killed his children and blew his brains out because he was so afraid of what was going to happen to him once his regime was defeated. The same thing is happening in the USA. The propaganda media are the enemy of the people, and soon the people will have their justice.

So the purpose of this story is that Biden is so bad that I order for him to win, Trump must bow out of the race.

The left definitely needs to be exterminated at all cost....
