Larry Elder: Can we talk about Biden’s lies, ‘election denying’ and bad behavior?
Twenty-four hours after the Trump-Biden debate, Democrat politicians and pundits contemplated mass suicide. Hosts and panelists said out loud, “Biden has to go.”
But when the dust settled, they switched from throwing Joe Biden under the bus to telling the bus driver to swerve to avoid hitting him. The reason is simple. Biden has the delegates and cannot be replaced unless he wants to go — and Dr. Jill isn’t having it.
They realize even if they replaced Joe, black female voters would scream “racism and sexism” if Kamala Harris — who polls worse than Biden — were passed over. Michelle Obama is not riding to the rescue.
White man Gavin Newsom cannot step over Kamala without angering black female voters, the most loyal part of their base. Newsom polls badly against Donald Trump. Newsom is unpopular in California.
Dems/media, post-debate, quickly realized they are stuck with Biden and Harris. So, the strategy is clear: pretend like Biden’s bad debate doesn’t really matter all that much; that he was “overprepared”; that it was just “one bad night”; and that Trump “just lied” while refusing to commit to accepting the results of the 2024 election.
The strategy has been formulated: Make sure Biden never again gets caught without a teleprompter and a speechwriter. Praise Harris and “put her out there more” so she can pick up the baton if Biden declines even more. Repeatedly chant “Abortion and our democracy are on the ballot.” And triple down on calling Trump a lying, election-denying, racist Nazi who “threatens our democracy.”
