On Thursday, Americans got an inside look at a stumbling Biden presidency.
Nixon vs. Kennedy is no longer the textbook example of how a TV debate can kill a candidacy. In fact, President Nixon’s infamous performance is a tour de force in comparison to Biden’s slack jawed performance. American voters watched in shock for 90 minutes as the current president appeared on our screens mumbling, looking confused, and struggling to articulate his views on key policy topics and national security issues.
At one point, Biden inexplicably exclaimed, “We finally beat Medicare!” Huh?
It isn’t surprising that Democrat operatives and commentators immediately started postulating about who could replace Biden on the ballot. But the problems that led to this debate performance are not solely because of Biden’s failing mental state.
For the past six years, Biden and the Democrats have spent all of their time fear mongering about President Trump. They have spent more time talking about their opponent in order to obscure their radical policy agenda from American voters. They have tried to turn former President Trump into a boogeyman to distract from their open borders, soft-on-crime policies, and pro-Marxist agenda.
Most voters were looking forward to the debate because it was an opportunity to listen to Biden and Trump, side-by-side, on these key issues. But, while President Trump articulated strong plans to turn our country around, most viewers’ main takeaway was a concern over whether Biden was fit to serve even another day in office, let alone four more years.
If the Democrats had a reasonable policy agenda which was representative of the American people’s views and main concerns, perhaps they could overcome Biden’s weakness and frail mental state. But after years of inflationary prices, open borders, and worsening global conflicts, voters’ patience is running thin. And now that they aren’t able to shield behind “Uncle Joe,” the Democrats’ extremism is completely exposed.
Americans of all backgrounds, including large numbers of black and Hispanic voters, are fleeing the Democratic Party in droves because their policies are out-of-touch with most American families and workers. Voters are looking for a president who hears their concerns, and most importantly, they are looking for a president who has solutions.
