As Donors and Hill Dems Turn Against Him, Biden Seethes in His Dementia Bunker

Joe Biden is heading for a landslide defeat against former President Donald Trump. The number of Democrats lining up to call for his removal from the Democratic Party ticket grew yesterday. It could become a deluge if his news conference at 5:30 PM doesn’t go well, and there are risks here. It’s 90 minutes after he’s supposed to be tucked into bed. Yet, as Biden is trying to reassure the party that he’s capable, the media tour he’s waged since his disastrous June 27 debate with Trump has only fueled worries among Democrats. 

Hollywood donors are now fleeing the Biden camp, joining the chorus that he step aside. Biden thinks this is 2020—it’s not. We’re seeing the actual Biden: a man out of his depth with no significant accomplishments in his public career—defeated, weak, and now old and demented. If anything, Biden might be remembered for the character assassination attempt on Justice Clarence Thomas, the lies about his academic record, the plagiarizing other people’s speeches, and being the brunt of jokes from Obama staffers. The defections and questions about his mental health have made this man, who is in severe cognitive decline, even angrier. While the heavyweight names come from Obama’s orbit, that could be why he’s digging in: he always felt that these folks never grasped the world. The flip side of that is neither does Biden, who does hold a remarkable record for being wrong on every major foreign policy over the past forty years.
