Big Don won the debate, mostly by letting Old Joe speak. But make no mistake. This is actually not good for Big Don politically. In politics you want to peak on election day in November, not at a debate before the candidates have been finalized in June. If the Democrats bring in another ringer, whoever it is will be harder for Trump to beat. But there is another issue. Democrat lawfare still has Trump in its sights, and Trump has been convicted of felonies that could bring prison time if the judge wills it. And right now there are a lot of people telling that judge that he is the only thing standing between Trump and the White House. That judge could send his political enemy to prison. The chances of Trump being in prison on election day in November just went way up because he won a debate in June.
For months now the right wing of politics has thought that the Democrats were planning to replace Old Joe with someone else. Bait and Switch at the end. Amongst them there was a fringe theory that this debate was set so early in the cycle, before the candidates are finalized, as a way to test Old Joe. If he failed, they would kick him out. That was a very fringe theory you understand. Watching the main stream news and the left wing pundits, but I repeat myself, instantly calling for replacing Old Joe after this debate suggests strongly that the talking points were already out there. They don’t tend to speak that uniformly without the script already in hand. Because of this, I forecast that the chances of Old Joe being replaced just went way up. Don’t count him out though. He, his family, and his loyalists still have a vote and I don’t know if the left wing can give them a big enough Golden Parachute to make them go away. The next week or two are going to be very interesting times indeed.
A good Presidential debate should show us the candidates so we know what we are voting for. This was a good debate. We got to see the two leading candidates for 90 minutes and we got to see how they think and talk over that time. And today the same mainstream news services and Democrat activists, but I repeat myself, are saying they are shocked and horrified at how badly Old Joe performed. Do not believe them. They have been covering for him for four years. Hiding his mental and physical impairment and telling us with straight faces that he is so energetic and on top of things that they can’t keep up with him. All while he has demonstrated again and again on smaller stages just how impaired he really is. They have been lying to us for four years, and today everyone has seen the truth. This was a good debate because anyone with eyes can see the lies they have peddled.
Well, I knew they would put Old Joe and drugs, but I did not expect those drugs. Still, I tip my hat to the debate organizers. They asked questions, they allowed the candidates to speak without interruptions, and allowed us to hear what the candidates considered important enough to tell us. From Old Joe we heard that Trump was liar, a bad man, and a felon who left him with a bad economy and a bad border. From Big Don we heard that he left Biden with a good economy, a safe border, that Biden opened the borders to allow illegal aliens to come in and take our jobs and kill our people, and that Biden’s policies were destroying America and making us a joke on the world stage after the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. I think it’s important for debates to allow candidates to tell us what they want us to know, and this debate did that. I therefore absolutely loved it for that reason.
It’s Debate Day and what do we have to look forward to? We still don’t know whose crack it was they found in the White House, so who knows what the docs are pumping into Old Joe. And Big Don is still under a gag order so who knows what all he can say about when the question of his recent court case comes up. I don’t expect the moderators who have compared him to Hitler in the past to play nice with him on that point, so we’ve got that going as well. Now the rules say that they’ll cut the mikes so Old Joe can’t interrupt people like he has in debates for decades, but how well will that work out for him? What will Old Joe say, all alone, in front of a mic, with no audience to distract him? We know Big Don can talk big, but what will he say, all alone, in front of a mic, with no audience to feed on? Enquiring minds are going to find out…
