There’s a lot to object to about what went down last Thursday:

  • Trump’s unchecked lies and rants, while Biden was cut off by the CNN moderators.
  • Biden’s verbal stumbles — Nothing close to the whalesong that came out the mouths of former Presidents Trump, W. Bush and also H.W. Bush.
  • The media’s creation of the narrative that Dem’s are panicking, based on a few data points, and perhaps a few pointed calls from those within the party who want Biden out.

But, please, before the party leaps on that bandwagon and over that cliff, let’s consider why Biden got into the race in 2020. It was because the Dems had no good candidates. I remember being gobsmacked that through four years of Trump, there seemed to be no grooming and preparing of potential candidates to take on the Orange Menace. What the hell had the DNC been doing during those years? So, at the last minute Joe rode in and saved us all.

Here we are, four years later, the Orange menace rears his felonious mug shot once again. “Biden’s too old!” his own party says, looking for the opportunity to undermine him.
