Slipping Joe Biden needs to take the same approach as LBJ did and drop out
Joe Biden is toast.The only choice he has is the timing of his announcement that he will not seek re-election.In short order, the calls for him to quit the race went from a whisper to a shout — and the clamor is still growing.
That’s how bad his debate performance was.It’s also how much the left hates and fears Donald Trump.The Biden death blow came from The New York Times editorial board, which serves as the Enforcement Arm of the Democratic Party.The Times, after more than three years of shamefully defending Biden’s corruption and pretending not to see his cognitive decline and the damage he has done to America, finally tossed him overboard, saying he should quit the race for the good of the country.The good of the country in this case has nothing to do with fixing Biden’s failed polices.The Times isn’t worried about the impact of millions of illegal immigrants who crossed the open border, inflation eating up family budgets or the dangerous march of the new Axis of Evil.The Times only cares about the chance that Trump could be elected.
Stopping him is all that matters.This mania wraps itself in the banner of protecting democracy, but Biden and the left are doing more damage to democracy than Trump could do in 10 lifetimes.By using the Justice Department and the courts to try to bankrupt and imprison him, Dems reveal that defending democracy is just a talking point.Indeed, the push to get Biden off the ticket ignores the will of millions of primary voters who picked him as the party’s nominee.Democracy, you see, is bubba bait for little people that can be tossed overboard when it’s inconvenient for the ruling class.Notice, too, no single name is being floated to replace Biden.
