Fifty-two years ago, agents of then-President Richard Nixon broke into a room at the Watergate Hotel and committed what appeared to be a minor crime: a botched break-in that was later described as a “third-rate burglary.”
Twenty-six months later, Nixon resigned from the presidency in disgrace to avoid impeachment by the House of Representatives with likely conviction by the Senate and removal from office.
The point? It wasn’t the botched break-in that brought down Nixon – it was the cover-up.
This brings us to the Biden White House and its attempt to cover up Joe Biden’s blatant cognitive decline.
Among the media outlets calling for Biden to drop out of the presidential race after his disastrous debate, The Economist was particularly brutal—every word of it was true, and every word of it was deserved by Team Biden for trying to cover up the president’s increasing mental deterioration.
In a scathing editorial titled “Why Biden Must Resign” with the subheading “The president and his party portray themselves as the saviors of democracy. Their actions tell a different story,” the media outlet wrote. didn’t miss a beat against “a confused old man”.
The president debate was terrible for Joe Biden, but the cover-up was even worse. It was agony to watch a confused old man struggle to remember words and facts. His inability to make an argument against a faint opponent was disheartening.
But his campaign’s strategy of denying what tens of millions of Americans have seen with their own eyes is more damaging than either, because its dishonesty arouses contempt.
This means that Donald Trump has the White House within his grasp. Recent polls have shown that voters in the states Biden must win have turned against him. His lead may even be in danger in once-safe states like Virginia, Minnesota and New Mexico.
The magazine argued that Biden “deserves to be remembered for his accomplishments and decency, not his downfall.” While some believe that, a growing number of voters – Republicans and Democrats alike – do not agree – and neither do I.
Nevertheless, the editorial stated:
It is therefore correct that the first high-ranking Democrats have begun to openly call for his resignation. But their public statements are nothing compared to the growing tide of private dismay. More of them urgently need to face the fact that if they don’t speak out now, Trump will win. To bring about the political renewal that America so desperately needs now, they must demand change. It’s not too behind schedule.
Democrats argue that Trump is unfit for the office of president. But the debate and its aftermath have proven that Biden is unfit, too. First, because of his mental decline. Biden can still appear lively in brief, scripted appearances. But you can’t lead a superpower by teleprompter. And you can’t put an international crisis on hold just because the president is having a bad night. Should you trust someone who can’t finish a sentence about Medicare with the nuclear codes?
“Mr. Biden is not to blame for his lack of power,” the outlet wrote, “but not for his second disqualification, which is based on his claim, supported by his family, senior staff and the Democratic elite, that he is still up to the toughest job in the world.”
Biden’s claim that this election is a choice between right and wrong is undermined by the fact that the very existence of his campaign is now based on a lie.
“The Democratic Party should look in the mirror”
The Economist is right, but that will never happen.
The Democratic Party should look in the mirror, starting with Biden himself. He claims he failed in the debate because he was tired of jetting around the world, as if his weakness was proof of his vitality. His supporters argue that those horrific 90 minutes should not overshadow the last three and a half years.
But what matters is whether they anticipate the next four years. Leading Democrats who repeat these desperate arguments or wait silently for someone else to speak first may believe they are being faithful. Is that loyalty to their country or their career?
As I wrote in an article on Saturday:
Democratic representatives eagerly support their Democratic colleagues, whether they are right or wrong – until they don’t anymore. Fallen from grace That reminds me of former Senator Al Franken (D-MN). Franken’s Democratic colleagues ultimately threw him so far under the bus that I’m pretty sure he never crawled out of his life. still.
Joe Biden could not still be in Al Franken territory, but he seems pretty damn close.
The media outlet wrote more simply: “Mr Biden should withdraw from the election campaign. In this way, the election could give new momentum to the political body.”
While the sharks swimming in the waters surrounding the ailing president are getting closer and more numerous, the “confused old man” remains stubborn.
In a phone call on Wednesday, Biden said: “I’m running… nobody is pushing me out” – and more.
Let me say this as noisy and clear as I can: I’m running…nobody’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end, and we’re going to win.
The Democrats can push as tough as they want, but Biden has secured enough delegates to be sure of the nomination if he stays in the race.
Joe Biden gives a final answer about his future and the Democrats will need a mighty drink
Ultimately, I am convinced that only the alleged Doctor Jill is capable of convincing Biden to abandon his re-election campaign, and given the hunger for power she has acquired, I don’t think that will happen any time soon, if ever.
