It’s official. Democrats and their close friends and allies in the activist media are terrified. The impetus of their horror?
Special counsel Robert Hur’s damning report further revealing the extent of President Joe Biden’s mental decline. A recent op-ed published by the New York Times’ editorial board shows just how damaging the report is becoming.
In the op-ed, the authors acknowledged that a “remarkably broad swath of the American public” has shown “increasing doubts about [Biden’s] ability to serve for another five years because of his age.” The piece noted recent polling showing that nearly 86 percent of Americans believe that Biden is too old to serve another term.
The authors then pivoted to a recent press conference in which President Biden became visibly peeved at the suggestion that he might be too old to continue running the country.
Mr. Biden’s performance at his news conference on Thursday night was intended to assure the public that his memory is fine and argue that Mr. Hur was out of line; instead, the president raised more questions about his cognitive sharpness and temperament, as he delivered emotional and snappish retorts in a moment when people were looking for steady, even and capable responses to fair questions about his fitness.
His assurances, in other words, didn’t work. He must do better — the stakes in this presidential election are too high for Mr. Biden to hope that he can skate through a campaign with the help of teleprompters and aides and somehow defeat as manifestly unfit an opponent as Donald Trump, who has a very real chance of retaking the White House.
Mr. Biden’s allies are already going to the usual Washington playbook of dismissing the special counsel’s report as partisan. Regardless of Mr. Hur’s motivation, the details that he presented spoke to worries voters already had. The president has to reassure and build confidence with the public by doing things that he has so far been unwilling to do convincingly. He needs to be out campaigning with voters far more in unrehearsed interactions. He could undertake more town hall meetings in communities and on national television. He should hold regular news conferences to demonstrate his command of and direction for leading the country.
They forgot to PAY OFF Enough $$$$ to the Special Counsel !!!!!! LOL LOL
