Biden’s big bluff

BIDEN’S BIG BLUFF. Until a week ago, President Joe Biden seemingly had the age issue under control. Yes, he had senior moments, some of which were quite severe, such as the episode at the White House Juneteenth concert in which he weirdly froze for two minutes, silent, eyes fixed straight ahead, body absolutely motionless. But commentary on such moments was mostly confined to a few news outlets. Much of the White House press corps seemed to accept the Biden press handlers’ explanation that the stories were “cheap fakes” created by Republicans to hurt the president politically. It’s hard to understand why any observant reporter would accept such an explanation, but some did.

Everyone knew that polls showed large majorities of voters, including large majorities of Democrats, thought the 81-year-old Biden was not physically and mentally capable of serving as president of the United States for another term, until he is 86 years old. Everyone also knew that the public had fewer such concerns about 78-year-old former President Donald Trump, Biden’s rival in the 2024 election. Nevertheless, with a big assist from the press, the Biden campaign was able to keep the age issue on the back burner.

And then Biden blew it all up. On May 15, the president posted a video on X of himself taunting Trump about a debate. “Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020,” Biden said in the video. “Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal.”

Biden’s moment of Dirty Harry bravado will go down as one of the most spectacular self-owns in American political history. Biden mocked Trump as a loser and a coward. He dared Trump to debate him. He was eager for a showdown. Then Trump took him up on it, and the rest is history. Biden’s bluff was called, in dramatic fashion.

Now, we are still in the early stages of repercussions from Biden’s terrible, troubling performance in the debate. First, there was Democratic panic. Then, there was retrenchment, as top Democrats settled on a Joe-had-a-bad-night explanation. And now, there are growing doubts mixed with fatalism as the polls appear to show significant damage from the debate while Biden appears to be dug in and many Democrats despair of the effort to remove an unwilling incumbent president from the party ticket.

A word on the polls. After the Trump conviction, it was a good idea to wait a couple of weeks for voters to digest the news and figure out what they think. The same is true with this debate. It hasn’t even been a week since the debate, and both sides have been obsessing over polls.

That itself tells us something about the depth of concern about the damage done by Biden’s performance. The campaign released internal polling that purported to show Biden was unhurt by the debate — which was a pretty good sign that it believes Biden has been hurt by the debate.

Now, Biden supporters are turning on each other, and especially on the president’s inner circle. Sometimes even on Biden himself. In a new Politico account, insiders describe an isolated, cranky president who relies on the advice of a very tight group of advisers and basically ignores everyone else. “Inside the White House, Biden’s growing limitations were becoming apparent long before his meltdown in last week’s debate,” Politico reported, “with the senior team’s management of the president growing more strictly controlled as his term has gone on.” Aides worried about presenting the president with negative information because “that will set him off,” one senior administration official told Politico: “He is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s***less of him.” The official continued to say that Biden “doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it.”

Indeed, Grok.

I thought Trump had made a mistake in accepting the unfair CNN conditions for the debate but, as always, Trump was 100 percent right.

Biden looked like a vegetable.
 
I truly believe now that most folks that get news from the leftist echo chamber have never seen the video, never heard the dementia moments, never heard the made up memory moments and didn't understand what those "right wingers" were talking about. The press covered for the "50 First Weekends at Brandon's" show, and it was effective. His handlers got brave, and thought one week would be enough to reset that brain to a new lucid window so he could perform during the debate rather than his normal 2 weeks to one full month that he's taken in the past, and they were wrong.

Now, the folks on the left are seeing it, and they are hearing from his staff, and they are hearing from concerned governors who didn't think "I'll start going to bed at 8 and no more evening appearances" was a good enough plan for someone trying to win one of the most demanding jobs in the world...

Suddenly, reality has set in for a huge chunk of folks who have only watched CNN and MSDNC for their "news", and the "we had a bad night' and boy was I still under the "jet lag" from 11 days before and "I have a cold so my brain stopped" excuses aren't flying and they are demanding more information. The "behind the scenes he's a genius" crap isn't flying either, if he was they would show us some video of this genius at work.

Shame on the mainstream press for covering this up for so long. I get you want democrats to win, but dayum...

I believe they all knew and saw Biden's lack of mental acuity and his slide into dementia. But their arrogance led them to believe that media and Administration lying and gaslighting would work through November 5th.

Now they see that strategy has failed so now we are back to "TRUMP IS HITLER and ANYONE BUT TRUMP!!!"

Biden's been bluffing his whole life. Bet his story about "Pop Corn," assuming it's somewhat true, is really one of bluffing and humiliation. Biden's, in the vernacular, 'All hat, no cattle.'
