So... you know how...around this time of the year, the powerbrokers in Washington DC love to have Christmas parties.
All the political, commerce, and cultural elites come out and hob nob together, and want to ‘see and be seen’ at the most important parties.
And no parties are more important than those thrown at the white house.
Even for elected officials-these are special because-
(And I don’t think that most Americans know this)
Unless you are a top house or senate leader- you have very little-or no- interaction with the president and the white house.
The impression that most Americans have, I believe, is that the president and his team are talking to congressmen and senators all the time...and a day in Washington looks like the old tv show ‘the west wing’.
But it really doesn’t.
If you are someone on the close ‘Pelosi’ or ‘Schumer’ or ‘McConnell’ teams, maybe. Maybe. You’ll be called to the white house to meet with the president or his staffers on some things...occasionally...
And -unless-you are one of those few top congressmen- you aren’t being invited to white house parties or white house events.
Therefore, very few of the 535 congressmen we have elected and sent to Washington -ever-get a direct audience with the president of the United States, and only rarely are they ever in a more cordial, relaxed situation with him.
It's one reason that the White House Christmas parties for congressmen and dignitaries are so special.
Well-national review reports that-this year- as congressional democrats come out of these parties or these recent, rare, closed-door meetings with Joe Biden-
If they haven’t seen him in a while-they’re shocked at how old, and out-of-it he is.
Geez.
This is what we want to hear, with open borders and two wars going, right? That Biden’s state of decay is even shocking his own party members?
The Biden White House has put this out to their friendly media this week: that Joe Biden’s so energetic that Jill and the staffers constantly must reign him in.
Wyden says. They’re trying to get him to cut back his ours.
Now, come on. The NY Times and other outlets have published his daily schedule...and he’s not up and starting work until 9 or later- and they try to have him done by 4 or 5- probably because he starts sun downing.
But-as it is-this president is putting in a six- or seven-hour day -when he’s at the white house. And most days, only one or two small public events are scheduled-
Then...by Thursday night or Friday morning-he and Jill are off to Delaware until Sunday night or Monday and he’s not doing a lot of work there.
Folks, this is a president who famously ‘has been on vacation’ 40 percent of the time that he’s been in the white house. That’s a real figure. Records are closely kept.
And we are supposed to believe that Jill and the team are trying to get him to slow down.
Come on.
Even when he travels-which he rarely does-
Even when he travels, pay attention to the schedule. Biden was here, in Milwaukee, yesterday morning. He held a mid-morning event when -no one-in the electronic news media has an audience or wants to carry it live.
He read a few remarks off a teleprompter, and then turned around and did his ‘confused Roomba’ moved. Until someone came over to collect him usher him ‘to the next thing’.
This man is low-energy and out of it. And they’ve been trying to cover it up for three years-
But when you’ve got democrat lawmakers-in his own party-coming out of in-person events and saying. My God, he’s bad....
Why are they still trying to trick the American people into electing him for another term?
The answer is: all they care about is holding the power. Biden has only been a figure head- a Manchurian candidate- anyway- and they just want to keep it going.
This man isn’t running the country, anyway, so what does it matter if he’s slowly becoming a shell of his former self?
It doesn’t matter to these power-hungry monsters. So, they lie.
Most people expect Biden to die or drop out.
And don’t blame me for being blunt. That’s simply the truth.
We’ve had numerous polls-for months- finding that ¾ of Americans now say that Joe Biden cannot and should not serve a second term.
That includes 60 percent of democrats.
And so-as the national review puts it: barring some sort of black-swan event, the lingering hopes that Biden would move aside and the party would have a fresher, younger face to replace him on the ticket. Are dissipating.
Folks, Joe Biden s clearly so physically and mentally degraded and ‘out of it’- that at this point? Even if Biden’s presidency was going well-, I think his age would be a major issue for the American people-
And they’d still say in very high numbers: this man should not be given a second term.
The democrats who want to focus on the age thing- are the same ones who think that-in some alternate universe- Joe Biden has been a very good president. They focus on his age as his ‘biggest negative’ when -I swear to you-his age wouldn’t matter to voters all that much- if things were going well.
This man has not been a good president. He’s been a terrible one. The country and the globe are in shambles.
Over at slate magazine, which is another rabidly lefty offering, one of their columnists, David Faris, does a deep dive into presidential poll numbers and finds quote: there is no precedent for how bad Biden’s poll numbers are right now.
This is a left-wing political scientist. He clearly-wants- Joe Biden to be polling better than he is. But his deep dive, professorial, careful examination of polling numbers thru time has this result: no incumbent president-in the history of such polling-has had worse numbers than Joe Biden does, a year away from re-election.
My biggest worry over Biden getting a second term is- Trump. And I’m just being honest.
So far, most voters on our side of the aisle are getting sucked into the plotline that democrats have been trying to engineer-as their best way to keep power:
Engineer the nomination for Trump by prosecuting him and persecuting him and riling up the GOP base-
And then convict him of something and make his court cases and his outrageous statements and paint him as such a ‘danger to democracy’ that the election is all about trump, not Biden, and Biden wins anyway.
If Trump’s going to be the nominee-I want him to win. I’m glad Biden is disqualifying himself in every way possible- but the chance that the dems -do-have a younger, less damaged nominee at the last minute- I do see as a real possibility-
And being successful in this effort to convince 2/3 of the country Trump is too dangerous- I do see as a real path to victory for them. And sadly, Trump will help them out with some of the rhetoric he keeps tossing around.
The curve ball we-on the right-could toss at the democrats that destroys their chance to win in 2024 is- a different candidate. Yes, I think it should be DeSantis
