President Joe Biden’s debate performance was so bad that it has sparked serious talk about replacing him on the ticket. If that happens, it could make for a tougher race for Trump.
Late Friday afternoon, The New York Times launched a nuke from space at the presidential campaign of Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee and sitting president, when its editorial board shockingly called for him to exit the race.
It was a desperate and all but unprecedented move. After all, the Times is not just the paper of record, but a veritable mouthpiece for all things of the Left, and it says Biden should not be president again.
Republicans can be forgiven a moment of schadenfreude over this to be sure, but as a wise person once said, be careful what you wish for, because the Gray Lady may be onto something here. In fact it may be the only thing that can sink Donald Trump.
As the radioactive dust settles from Biden giving arguably the worst debate performance in the history of the English language, Trump has never seemed more inevitable. The televisual diptych between his confidence and Biden’s confusion is set in stone.
The polls look pretty good for the Donald, as well.
That is why the Times decided to launch this unprecedented Hail Mary pass, even over the social media posted objections of Democrat heavyweights Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, to try to nudge President Biden off of the ticket.
And there is some reason to believe that such a plan just might work.
