Thirty minutes into the presidential debate, Iāve heard from three veteran Democratic presidential campaign officials, and all of them had the same reaction to President Bidenās performance: This is a disaster. It wasnāt just that Biden wasnāt landing a glove on Donald Trump on the economy, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Covid, taxes, temperament or anything else that was coming up in the questioning. It was Bidenās voice (low and weak) and facial expression (frozen, mouth open, few smirks) with answers that were rambling or vague or ended in confusion. He gave remarks about health care and abortion that didnāt make a strong point, giving Trump a chance to say lines like, āI really donāt know what he said at the end of that sentence. I donāt think he knows what he said, either.ā One of the Democrats said Biden looked scared. Another said it was an āemperor has no clothesā performance so far. The third said of the performance overall, āDonāt ask.ā Trump lied repeatedly during the debate about the pandemic, immigration and Roe v. Wade, but Biden didnāt hold him accountable for those lies in a memorable way. At times, Trump attacked Biden, but the president didnāt fight back. Frank Luntz, a veteran focus group moderator who was holding a live focus group during the debate, wrote of their reactions so far: āThe group is so bothered by Bidenās voice and appearance. But theyāre getting madder and madder with Trumpās personal attacks.ā āIf Trump talks less,ā Luntz said, āhe wins. If Biden doesnāt stop talking, he loses.ā
Itās incredible that this fucking disaster is what it took for them to finally realize their emperor has been running around with his dick out babbling for years.
these people pretend they know anything about whats going on, thats why. libs know either a tiny bit or absolutely nothing about whats going on in any way.
I heard a great term to describe these types recently: midwits. They mistake their ability to not fall for the most obvious bullshit as a sign theyāve got a deep understanding of the situation.
And none of them will have even a momentās reflection or consider that maybe they should start listening to the people whoāve been warning them about this the whole time.
And theyāre still going to blame us when they eat shit.
Demsā shitty candidate loses? They blame us and say weāre just sabotaging them, so they donāt need to listen to us.
Demsā shitty candidate wins? They say itās proof that triangulation works and that they donāt need to listen to us.
Canāt fucking win with these people.
