The Trump v. Biden presidential debate was no simple debate. It was a coup.
[Opinion]
The Democrats are fractured.
One of their factions is trying to remove President Biden while another distinct faction is trying to hold on to their jobs and administrative legacy.
Unbeknownst to most, CNN has seemingly been calculating a plan to show the world that President Biden is sundowning. Instead of just hosting a debate, a magnificently executed political hit job masterclass was also held.
By simply comparing President Trump's relatively quick mental acuity to President Biden, the world now knows that President Biden is a geriatric who may or may not be lucid.
CNN removed the political training wheels that they have afforded President Biden’s campaign over the past few years to take the opportunity to decisively unplug his campaign’s metaphoric life support.
Immediately following the debate, CNN gathered about a dozen top Democrat strategists and had them all in lock-step agreement that President Biden should step down. The next two weeks will be pivotal for President Biden as his campaign will face pressure from all angles to step down to make room for the DNC to run a different candidate who they feel may actually have a chance of going toe-to-toe with President Trump.
President Trump should take the debate as an easy-win, but it does mark a potentially bumpy path ahead for his campaign. A path that depends on who exactly the DNC will nominate as their candidate.
At the Democratic National Convention on August 19 in Georgia, the DNC will announce their candidate. The DNC rules for choosing candidates is really loose and they could announce almost anybody, even someone who has not campaigned at all this year.
On a tangentially related note, I have been thinking to rebrand this blog. I often receive requests to help summarize news, and I realized it would be beneficial for many if I turned this blog into a regularly published newsletter.
The newsletter would focus on recapping the previous day’s news while offering insight to help digest deeper meanings behind major events. Long-form technical articles will continue to be published alongside the newsletter.
