Biden’s catastrophic debate performance actually hurt him? Unfortunately, I think that the foam-flecked Left is so divorced from good sense and right and wrong that it will make far less difference to them than we would hope. We are talking about gains on the margins ONLY.
Of course, on some level, we’ve long known that our lefty friends will vote for a radish if it has a “D” next to its name. Memory care patient Joe Biden’s election in 2020 and recovering stroke survivor Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) in 2022 made this abundantly clear. But Democrats were still able to stagecraft the illusion that these men were somewhat competent. The debate on Thursday night ended that. We now know beyond question that competency is not a requirement for a Democrat candidate. Team D may as well AI-generate a “candidate” and use her to brand its actions.
As one Democrat partisan said:
It doesn’t matter if Biden’s debate performance wasn’t perfect. I’m not voting for a person, I’m voting for values:
- A woman’s right to choose
- Equality for people of color
- LGBTQ rights
- The right to vote
- Sensible gun laws
- Protecting the environment
- Future SCOTUS judges
- The ideals and principles of the Democratic party
And THAT is what is most discouraging. Because that means that logic and data are not the right tools for this job. No, this is a form of religious conversion, conversion to the religion of Leftism, not the end point of a logical analysis. And we need to realize what it actually is.
Now that Biden has gone gone down in a flaming mishmash of incoherent gobbledygook:
But the point is that rank-and-file Democrat voters have admitted to themselves what we’ve known all along, and they are voting for the hive with eyes wide open now.
…The third leg of the campaign will be dependent on who the Democrat presidential candidate ultimately is. As mentioned above, Democrat voters do not care who it is; they are voting for their party, come hell or high water. Thus, the attacks on the Democrat candidate must be highly targeted to swing voters — disaffected Democrats, undecideds, and double-haters. As abrasive as Trump can be, his gift for summing up entire records in a nickname or catch-phrase can be invaluable here.
