Last night was billed as a never-before-seen event, two former presidents going at each other for an hour and a half, may the best man win scenario.
It turned out to be ninety minutes filled with "Weekend at Bernie's" moments.
I will admit, I enjoyed last night, the first hour at least. Trump was really good the first hour, less so the last thirty minutes, but by that time everyone watching was horrified Biden has his finger on the nuclear button.
For the first hour, Trump was focused, calm, serious, policy driven. The last thirty minutes was “Why am I on the stage with this guy, he needs medical attention.”
I would have had a hard time holding my tongue, too, especially when it became clear that there is an entire Deep State fighting against Trump and the man across from him doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together.
I’m sorry, but that is true. The Joe Biden of last night isn’t the Joe Biden of four years ago. Hell, he isn’t even the Joe Biden of four MONTHS ago. This man is in rapid decline.
Now we have confirmation of why the White House is desperate not to release the tapes of the Robert Hur interview with Biden.
The biggest surprise last night was the relatively fair moderation. I mean it became public knowledge that Dana Bash’s husband, Jeremy Bash, was a signatory of the laptop from hell “spies who lie” letter and CNN is facing a billion-dollar charge for libel and slander, in which Jake Tapper is a prime figure.
So, I assume their bosses told them to lay off.
Even then the questions were weighted 80/20 toward left wing concerns vs things the right are concerned about.
In an interesting twist, Biden was so bad last night, attacking him for being who he is will be seen as cruel.
This morning, I actually feel bad for the guy - and I'm feeling a deep hatred for his wife, his family and the Democrat Party who have lied and propped him up for four years when they knew he was deteriorating quickly.
It isn't so much the Democrats near Biden didn't know this is who he has become, they didn't want America to know. Of course, there will be a few who keep trying to carry the water, but the well is dry on this one. Anyone who even intimates that Biden won anything last night is someone not to be believed.
Trump may not have won last night, but Biden demonstrably lost - and lost badly.
So did America.
Sure, Democrats will be spinning like the blades of a Waring blender, but this can’t be spun away. If you try, people will know you are just a liar. Immediately after the debate ended, even the media was strongly signaling to the Democrats, “You guys are on your own. No way we can help you on this one.”
You don't need to like Trump to know the liars in the Democrat Party, including Joe, have no place anywhere close to power.
Democrats had to do a virtual nomination to get him on the Ohio ballot, so Joe IS their nominee, but now the public knows their nominee is a skeleton riding a pale horse.
They must replace him, but how do they do it without angering their collection of grievance groups that make up a significant portion of their base?
Time will tell but now we know that this election is Trump’s to lose, and that is driving the left insane.
I don’t know what the Democrats will do, all I can say is the next few months will be interesting.
Posted this over on FB this morning:
Keep in mind that Biden isn't the problem, replacing him with another Democrat changes nothing - it is the Democrat progressive policies that are wrecking the country.
This is not Cassius Clay vs. Sonny Liston or Sugar Ray vs. Hitman Hearns, this is not mano a mano.
This is John Connor vs. SkyNet.
What is just as bad, if not worse, is that now the voting public knows they've been lied to by Biden's administration, Democratic politicians, and the mainstream media who have claimed "Joe is sharp as a tack!"
