Let me start off with two words. I support Biden. I support Biden. So,... admittedly, I am biased.
Joe Biden is a brainless demented buffoon.
His debate performance was a historic train wreck. His inability to speak intelligently to Stephanopoulos did nuthin to help him. If anything, it hurt him.
The Morning Joe performance, on its own, was very close to being an absolute disaster.
However, the Biden string-pullers did two things... on Monday... that very likely saved Joe's candidacy.
One of them? Arranging for "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" to be interviewed by Joe and Mika on Monday morning... no matter how abominable the "dithering and diminished" Doddering Old Fool's performance was. And, IMO, the performance was a disaster.
What the string-pullers accomplished, though, was to compromise the ability of the morning drive team on MSNBC to operate freely apart from the string-pullers' sphere of influence. If you watched HatetheSwamp's video, you saw Mika invite the Flatulent Fool back to do it again.
And then there's the letter, presumably from Joe, to Dem House members. The text of the letter was poignant and powerful. It made Joe's case magnificently...
...on the day House members were returning to DC after the July 4th recess.
Axios quoted a member of Congress saying that, on that Monday, the $#!t would hit the fan. But then, the string-pullers sent out the letter and released it to the press.
And, as of this moment, Joe's candidacy is safe.
Crafty. Sleazy. Self-serving. Brilliant.
"Four more years, pause." End of quote. Repeat the line!
