Super Tuesday has come and gone, taking Nikki Haley with it and leaving Donald Trump once again as the Republican nominee for President. On Tuesday, Biden received enough delegates to be the presumptive Democrat nominee, which will supposedly be made official at their convention in August. This has led those who have witnessed Biden’s attempts at walking and talking over the past several months to wonder how a man so cognitively diminished could be in this position. His recent venomous shouting of the SOTU was intended to convince viewers that he is still cogent, but he instead came across as a nursing home resident whose confusion frustrates him into fits of anger.
What makes Biden’s nomination more surreal is his dreadful poll numbers. If Biden was perceived as the loveable, though sometimes absent-minded, scrappy little scamp from Scranton as the media desperately try to portray him, that would be one thing, but Joe Biden is immensely unpopular. His approval rating is a paltry 37%, 11.5 points below Carter, the last Democrat President to serve only one term. In addition, more than two-thirds of Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction, but perhaps most damning of all, Biden is trailing Trump in every swing state by an average of five points.
To these facts, we’re supposed to believe the power-obsessed Marxists comprising the DNC are just shrugging their shoulders? The party of illicit FBI investigations, fake impeachments, election security dismantling, Zuckbucks, tech censorship, lawfare and the biggest mail-in-ballot fraud ever conceived by man, all of a sudden has a certain que sera, sera attitude towards election outcomes? Bullshit. No way. So why don’t the Democrats seem worried? There are two possibilities.
One explanation is that Biden won’t be the nominee. His current candidacy could simply be a headfake, meant to waste precious GOP campaign funds as Republicans spend tens of millions on ads trashing a senile fogey who, it turns out, isn’t even running for president. However, as each day passes, it becomes more difficult for the Dems to replace Biden by conventional means. Unless, of course, this is all scripted.
You may recall the early 90’s comedy “Dave,” in which Kevin Kline is a President lookalike who is tapped by unscrupulous White House staff members to replace the Commander-in-Chief when he becomes incapacitated. The good-hearted imposter eventually does the right thing and hands power over to the VP by faking a stroke while speaking on live TV. I’m not saying Biden needs to collapse from a podium (on purpose this time), but some manner of a health scare would suffice. The media would spend 24 hrs praising Biden’s decision to spend time with his family, then proceed immediately with a six month figurative tongue-bathing of Gavin Newsom. Kamala, having the voter favorability of head lice, would step aside to pursue a negotiated no-show job.
I confess it is my optimism that leads me to this somewhat ridiculous prediction. I admit I prefer this theory because it suggests our Democratic Constitutional Republic is still intact, with both sides needing to try their very best to legitimately earn every vote. I want to believe that, because the only other viable explanation for the Dems’ indifference toward running a corpse as their candidate is that it simply doesn’t matter who they run as they already know the outcome of the election. They have totaled the number of unverified mail in ballots they are likely to receive as well as mule-harvested drop box ballots, and they feel confident they have enough to beat Trump’s enthusiastic, yet antiquated election day voting base. If they somehow underestimate like last time, they’ll have sufficient reserve ballots to trickle in days after the election and allied judges on standby to ensure rulings that the late ballots are counted.
Biden can’t debate. His public appearances are littered with cue cards. He is an empty vessel figurehead of the deep state who is losing to Trump in every poll, the same polls in which Trump has never led, even in 2016. The Republic can’t survive another four years of Biden’s policies, but the most terrifying aspect of this election so far has been how little Democrat leadership is worried about how poorly their candidate is faring. Biden is either not their candidate, or the cake is already baked.
