Looks like it’s back to the basement for Senile Joe. The presidential incumbent and Democrat candidate for this year’s election has ducked out of a campaign visit to a battleground state, after testing positive for Covid.
Which is odd, because Biden is fully boosted with the Covid vaccination, and Joe himself explicitly stated, “You’re not gonna get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”
Joe Biden’s self-isolation with what his press secretary says are “mild symptoms” is a telling contrast to his opponent, who was apparently back on the golf course the very day after being shot in an assassination attempt. Within days, the bandaged Trump was in rousing form at the Republican National Convention.
One dodges bullets, the other can’t avoid a disease he said he’d never get after getting his boosters.
But while hiding in his basement may have worked in 2020, panicking Democrat strategists appear unconvinced it will be a winning strategy four years later. Sixty-five per cent of his own voters apparently think the same.
The Australian says:
The damaging poll came as California congressman and Senate candidate Adam Schiff became the most senior Democrat yet to call on Mr Biden to quit the race.
“Our nation is at a crossroads,” Mr Schiff said. “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the president can defeat Donald Trump in November.”
Mr Schiff is the most senior of the 22 Democrats who have so far called on Mr Biden to leave the race since his disastrous debate performance because he is too old and infirm.
Claims about undermining democracy are pretty rich, of course, coming from the party who have resorted to everything from purging the military to running show trials, to cling on to power.
The big question, then, is whether this diagnosis is the out that Biden’s puppet-masters so desperately need.
When questioned about his age in a new interview, the president said he would re-evaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary […]
Mr Biden has said that no doctors have told him this with Dr Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician, writing in February that Mr Biden is “a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency”.
Which seems somewhat in contrast to special counsel Robert Hur’s conclusion that Biden is an “elderly man with a poor memory” whose mental state made him unfit for trial. But apparently just fine to run the world’s most powerful nation.
Biden’s campaign has been in free-fall since the presidential debate brutally exposed his mental incompetence. His opponent’s septem mirabilis has sent the Democrats from panic-mode to full-blown-freakout.
The pressure on Mr Biden to leave the race is likely to increase after this week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee when the focus of American politics swings back to the civil war with the Democrats about Biden’s future.
Mr Schiff is the first Democrat to defect from the president since the assassination attempt on Donald Trump last weekend.
Mr Schiff called Mr Biden “one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history”.
Many Americans might say the same… just not as a compliment.
The Democrats’ problem is that they have no clearly palatable alternative.
