THE BIDEN DISASTER

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 1, 2024

     HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE WORDS USED TO DESCRIBE PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PERFORMANCE IN LAST WEEK’S DEBATE: “BOMB.”  “DISASTER.” “EMBARRASING.” AND THOSE WERE IN BIDEN-FRIENDLY, LIBERAL MEDIA.

     THE PRESIDENT MUMBLED, SEEMED DISORIENTED, COULDN’T FINISH SOME SENTENCES, SHUFFLED AND HAD A COMPLEXION THAT WAS MORE THAN PALE. IT WAS CHALK WHITE.

     THE WHITE HOUSE ISSUED A STATEMENT CLAIMING BIDEN HAD A COLD. NO ONE BELIEVES THAT, NOT EVEN THE SYCOPHANTS ON MSNBC. EVEN THE NEW YORK TIMES SAID BIDEN’S PERFORMANCE WAS A DISASTER. THEY ASKED ELEVEN OF THEIR WRITERS AND ALL CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, THOUGH A FEW CALLED TRUMP A LIAR.

     TALK HAS IMMEDIATELY TURNED TO WHO WOULD REPLACE BIDEN. BUT WHAT IF HE AND JILL DON’T WANT TO LEAVE? WOULD DELEGATES TO THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION STILL NOMINATE SOMEONE ELSE? BIDEN SOLD HIMSELF AS A MODERATE AND UNIFIER, BUT HAS GOVERNED AS A FAR-LEFT PROGRESSIVE.

     CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM WOULD LOVE TO BE THE CANDIDATE AND PROBABLY MICHIGAN GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER. BUT THEY ARE LEFTIES. AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO KAMALA HARRIS? STAY TUNED. THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET EVER BUMPIER. I’M CAL THOMAS
