Biden debate performance—doesn’t make sense

(This article is Part-1 in a series; for Part-2, go here; for Part-0B, go here.)

Stupidity and incompetence can explain many decisions.

But this one?

The Biden team allowing their man to shuffle out on stage at 9PM, where he was going to have to stand for 90 minutes, and slug toe to toe with the biggest fast talking bullshitter in American politics…

And not expect a drastic outcome?

When just one or two senile non-sequiturs would sink Biden in front of the whole country?

Not only that, the team preps Biden with a pile of facts to remember. Which is very much like treating a disease by creating the circumstances that cause the symptoms to jump up full blown.

Instead of just saying, “Joe, forget facts, you have to call him a liar every time he opens his mouth, you’re an attack dog, keep telling the people you saved the country from him and you’ll save it again.”

The team did everything in their power to make Joe lose.

And THEN, the most elite media in America—starting with the editorial board of the New York Times—immediately call for Biden to drop out of the race.

This editorial board of the Times is used to lying about snow and calling it sunshine—for decades. But now they take the opportunity to tell a sitting President he’s all washed up and he has to save the country by quitting.

Biden’s participation in the debate was designed to fail.

The CNN moderators did their part by allowing Trump to bloviate from pillar to post, exceeding his time limit a number of times.

This whole show looked exactly like a set up.

I don’t know what the doctors did with Joe’s drug cocktail, but whatever it was it didn’t work. They, the doctors, didn’t know up front that Joe at 9PM for 90 minutes on stage, in a high pressure situation, against Trump, was begging for trouble, was an odds on favorite to derail their patient?

They had to know. They had to issue warnings to the political team.

And what about Jill?
