Thirty minutes into the presidential debate, Iâve heard from three veteran Democratic presidential campaign officials, and all of them had the same reaction to President Bidenâs performance: This is a disaster. It wasnât just that Biden wasnât landing a glove on Donald Trump on the economy, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Covid, taxes, temperament or anything else that was coming up in the questioning. It was Bidenâs voice (low and weak) and facial expression (frozen, mouth open, few smirks) with answers that were rambling or vague or ended in confusion. He gave remarks about health care and abortion that didnât make a strong point, giving Trump a chance to say lines like, âI really donât know what he said at the end of that sentence. I donât think he knows what he said, either.â One of the Democrats said Biden looked scared. Another said it was an âemperor has no clothesâ performance so far. The third said of the performance overall, âDonât ask.â Trump lied repeatedly during the debate about the pandemic, immigration and Roe v. Wade, but Biden didnât hold him accountable for those lies in a memorable way. At times, Trump attacked Biden, but the president didnât fight back. Frank Luntz, a veteran focus group moderator who was holding a live focus group during the debate, wrote of their reactions so far: âThe group is so bothered by Bidenâs voice and appearance. But theyâre getting madder and madder with Trumpâs personal attacks.â âIf Trump talks less,â Luntz said, âhe wins. If Biden doesnât stop talking, he loses.â
Itâs incredible that this fucking disaster is what it took for them to finally realize their emperor has been running around with his dick out babbling for years.
these people pretend they know anything about whats going on, thats why. libs know either a tiny bit or absolutely nothing about whats going on in any way.
I heard a great term to describe these types recently: midwits. They mistake their ability to not fall for the most obvious bullshit as a sign theyâve got a deep understanding of the situation.
And none of them will have even a momentâs reflection or consider that maybe they should start listening to the people whoâve been warning them about this the whole time.
And theyâre still going to blame us when they eat shit.
Demsâ shitty candidate loses? They blame us and say weâre just sabotaging them, so they donât need to listen to us.
Demsâ shitty candidate wins? They say itâs proof that triangulation works and that they donât need to listen to us.
Canât fucking win with these people.
