Was This the Sign That the NYT Editorial Board Was Going to Push for Biden’s Ouster?

By Matt Vespa 

 

Joe Biden is heading for election defeat in November. Is there any hope of recovery from this awful debate performance? Probably not. Biden doesn’t possess the charisma, political skill, or mental faculties to pull what will be an epic political comeback. Obama, Clinton—sure. Those men had the chops to be president. Biden showed last night that he decidedly doesn’t have what it takes. There’s a reason why we had stories of Obama trying to coax Biden out of the 2020 race. He knew his vice president didn’t have what it took to be commander-in-chief. Now, the whole nation knows.

Friedman:

I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone in a Lisbon hotel room, and it made me weep. I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime — precisely because of what it revealed: Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for re-election. And Donald Trump, a malicious man and a petty president, has learned nothing and forgotten nothing. He is the same fire hose of lies he always was, obsessed with his grievances — nowhere close to what it will take for America to lead in the 21st century…
