Democrats still scrambling to avoid any democracy in wake of Joe Bidens debate disaster
Democrats haven’t stopped scrambling since President Biden’s disaster Thursday night — publicly rallying behind him while leaking about their own fears and excuses amid a furious rush to figure out what to do now.The absolute worst butt-covering has to be the White House aides who recounted to Axios that the prez is actually functional from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m., which is apparently their excuse for hoping he’d somehow manage to survive the debate.That is, they’re finally admitting part of the truth, in hopes they don’t have to reveal more of it (at least, not until they pitch their tell-all memoirs).But what a reveal: Hillary Clinton’s famous attack ad against Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries asked viewers to think about whether he could field a “3 a.m.

Trust me, I know.”No, Barack: You just lo...
