The theme of Joe Biden’s debate performance Thursday night could probably be summed up as: The caffeine ain’t working anymore.
I’m talking, of course, about Republican theories suggesting that Biden’s solid State of the Union performance was enhanced by Mountain Dew and caffeine (or something much stronger), and that he would be “jacked up” for this first presidential debate.
Instead, Biden’s hoarse voice and aged appearance were on full display. But his stumbles only reinforced the sense that Biden was too old for the job. During one confused moment,sure to be a soundbite that is was repeated over and over,Biden ended a botched response with the confusing words, "we finally beat the medicare.In response to a different botched Biden answer, Donald Trump said, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” (Trump wasn’t the only one.)

Meanwhile, Trump seemed (for Trump) pretty sedate and coherent. To be sure, he presented fanciful solutions and scenarios, such as the notion that his mere presence in the White House would have dissuaded Russia from invading Ukraine. But to the untrained ear, they had a certain verisimilitude.

During several occasions, Trump simply told obvious untruths such as, “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.” But he delivered them in a much calmer and persuasive manner than normal. Toward the end of the debate, Trump—the biggest baby to ever run for president even had the audacity to say, “Let’s not act like children.”
Biden fired back once or twice. “My son was not a sucker or loser. You’re the sucker. You’re the loser,” he said, alluding to a report that Trump disparaged Americans who died in war.

But a lot of what he had to say was undermined by his raspy voice, rigid body language, and inability to deliver some otherwise good lines without messing up.

The debate moderators also didn’t do Biden any favors. Going into the debate, I would have bet money that the first questions would have focused on election denial, criminal conviction, or Jan. 6—issues that might put Trump on the defensive.
Instead, the debate began with a question about inflation. It’s impossible to know if Trump’s complaints about a “rigged” debate led to that line of questioning, but the choice certainly did Biden no favors.
At the end of the day, though, the story of this debate was Biden looking and sounding way too old to be president for another four years. And it’s not just me saying that. This was a universal opinion of almost every intellectually honest observer.
Consider Amy Walter, publisher and editor of the Cook Political Report, who tweeted, “Odds of a September 10 debate are close to zero about now.”

“This debate [is] making [it] abundantly clear that Biden’s insistence on running for another term—when 66 percent of voters in our swing state poll believe it’s likely he won’t be able to finish a second term—has gravely jeopardized Dems’ prospects to defeat Trump,” tweeted Dave Wasserman, Walter’s colleague at the Cook Report.
Thirty minutes into the debate, Republican strategist Mike Murphy tweeted, “On a 1 to 10 point scale — if this continues — the panic explosion inside the Democratic Party will hit 28 [tomorrow].”
“I’m a Biden Guy, but unless there is a huge turn around, and soon, there will be a huge universal call for a new candidate and an open convention.”

If there is a saving grace, it’s this: A June debate means there is still some (albeit small) amount of time for Democrats to muster the courage to find a way to pull the plug on this candidacy and replace Biden on the ballot.
The irony is that Biden orchestrated this early debate to try and change the trajectory of this race. It was a bold move, and it could have been shrewd if he had the ability to execute. He couldn’t. As Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” character famously said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
Joe Biden didn’t, and neither did his team. Biden should consider dropping out, and if he won’t, Democrats should seriously consider pulling the plug. The stakes are high, and Biden is not getting any better (or younger).

More insight into last night Biden's disastrous interview

Joe Biden's exit interview with the Demoncratic Party

June 28, 2024

I’ve been saying it for months and tonight it has become crystal clear: Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee in November.
The prevailing sentiment after tonight’s debate performance — inclusive of Biden opening the bidding by freezing up and making a strange throat noise for 3 straight seconds — is that Joe Biden is unfit to serve another 4 years in office.
Of course, we’ve all known that for years, but the DNC machine, coupled with the mainstream media and operatives operating Biden’s strings for the last 4 years hasn’t been so hurried to come to the same conclusion.
After tonight, they have to. Like with any problem in our country, the first solution is always to kick the can down the road, not risk discomfort amongst the party or country, not to ruffle any feathers and then ignore it and hope it goes away on its own. And as I noted days ago, nothing is off limits for the media to run interference on.
This happened with Covid coming to the U.S., it happened with inflation spiraling out of control and, tonight, it happened when both sides of the aisle were treated to objective reality bludgeoning them in the face in the form of the realization that we just bore witness to Joe Biden’s last debate ever.

How can I make such a bold statement (other than from simply opening my eyes and ears and watching the debate)? When the mainstream media machine turns on you, its already a foregone conclusion that your time is up. John King said about DNC discussions, live on CNN immediately after the debate:
“Right now, it involves party strategists, it involves elected officials, it involves fundraisers, and they’re having conversations about the president’s performance, which they think was dismal…”
“Some of those conversations include, should we go to the White House and ask the president to step aside?”
Similarly, Chuck Todd — the tip of a far-left spear of Marxist idiocy that has defended Biden despite his obviously disastrous tenure as President and obvious mental decline — also took to MSNBC to rail on Biden’s performance.
“Biden looks like the caricature that conservative media has been painting … you saw it before your eyes!” Todd said post-debate.
Even the Trump-hating Matt Drudge 2.0 has thrown in the towel:

We all know Democrats are shameless, but how can the media and the party who have both defended Biden’s mental acuity for the last few weeks not be completely humiliated by tonight’s showing? Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said it best, post-debate, writing on X:
“Tonight was an indictment of the Democratic Party. How could they? Did they think they could pull one over on the American people? Catastrophic for the party and everyone in charge. How much money has the party and the campaign taken from the American people to put up Joe Biden as the candidate?”
In some respects there’s a cruel irony to the fact that the last coherent point argued by an octogenarian decades long career politician was an obvious lie about being a 6 handicap on the golf course. It’s sad not only because it’s meaningless to the presidency, but because it was to further one last obvious lie: that Biden would ever have a snowball’s chance in hell against Trump on a golf course.
We live in a representative republic where politicians are supposed to be made up of everyday citizens who turn over frequently, so as to allow the soul of the nation to take deep breaths and not get stuck in patterns. But as is the case with career politicians like Mitch McConnell or Dianne Feinstein, they just can’t seem to ever release their wretched liver-spotted talons from the “power” they’ve fought their whole lives to desperately cling to.
As we learned from both of these examples over the last year, the castrated impotent desperation and concern career politicians have with remaining “in power” in their dying days isn’t just depressing from a political standpoint, its a disheartening commentary on human beings and their priorities in life. It’s the opposite of retiring, and dying, with dignity.
And tonight we watched it live with Joe Biden, as he tried to force one last gasp of oxygen into the lungs of his political career and came up short. Instead, he’ll now be subjected to pitchforks and torches from the party he spent his whole life fighting for, and his “career” will become nothing more than another brick in the wall for the argument that politicians of all stripes are just narcissistic, self-absorbed and generally useless pustules.
In case you missed it, last week I detailed who I think will be Biden’s replacement and Trump’s VP heading into the last 100 days leading up to the election: Biden’s Replacement And
Trump’s VP Pick
