They’re really trying it, aren’t they?
President Joe Biden and his Inner Circle Delusionists are hoping to brazen it out and prop up this past-its-expiry-date presidency.
In the process, they’re proving themselves to be everything they’ve ever leveled at Donald Trump: out-of-touch, a sore loser, anti-democracy.
Mad King Joe just won’t quit.
As he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in Friday’s primetime interview, ‘if the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me’ only then will he consider stepping back from the ticket. Maybe.
Snap polls following the CNN debate disaster in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal both show Trump pulling to a six-point national lead.
Reports suggest that Democratic party internal polling is even worse. One leaked survey has Biden losing Virginia, New Mexico, and New Hampshire (he won all three comfortably in 2020).
Meanwhile, party officials are – privately at least – tearing themselves apart, with a handful of senior figures breaking rank and publicly calling for Joe to go.
