THOUGHTS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE


There are two angles a reporter could have taken following Thursday's Biden-Trump debate hosted by CNN. One, "Biden has poor debate." The other, "Trump makes dozens of false statements." I'll leave it to you, dear reader to determine why every single reporter in the United States chose the former. Perhaps it's that left wing media bias I hear about every day from the 12 straight hours of right wing hosts who follow my show.

Before debates, campaigns work the refs and attempt to lower expectations. Any competent reporter knows this. So why did so many reporters repeat the GOP talking point that if President Biden had a good debate, it meant he had been given performance enhancing drugs beforehand? Competent reporters would behave one way, but actual reporters behaved differently? Why, I think we have our answer!

After Thursday's debate, we finally know for sure that 81 year old, relatively fit and trim Joe Biden is physically and mentally unfit to be president, while 78 year old Donald Trump, who is obese, subsists on a diet of Burger King and Milk Duds and who shows actual, clinical signs of dementia, is ready to rock.

CNN, we have one candidate who is a serial liar. Whatever will we do? Let's just not mention it. After all, determining and reporting the truth isn't our job, right. We don't report, you can't decide.

Joe Biden should have agreed to a pre-debate drug test, in return for Donald Trump agreeing to step on a scale and shoot a round of golf with a camera crew following him.

Unasked question Thursday: Mr. Trump, you complained repeatedly about your New York trial for falsifying business records, saying that the judge was a Democrat who was biased against you, yet in another of your legal cases, the judge was appointed by you and is clearly doing everything in her power to delay your trial until after the election. Is it your contention that only judges appointed by you can be fair and unbiased?

Republicans have been saying for months that Mr. Biden should step aside and let someone else gain the Democratic nomination. What is the only possible reason one would call for an opponent's removal from the ticket? The fear that they can't beat him. Have you heard a single reporter in the United States make this blindingly obvious point? Why not? 

The Democratic party is an embarrassment. The bed wetting, pants pissing whining of so many Democrats after the debate was pathetic. The Democrats don't need a better candidate, they need better Democrats. 

It's June. In June, 1992, the presumptive Democratic nominee was third in a three way race at 25%. He won. On election day 2016, the polls gave his wife a 60% chance of winning. She didn't.
