Two words.
Historically bad.
Even worse than Dan Quayle’s pathetic performance versus Lloyd Bentsen in the 1988 Vice-Presidential debate.
Bush 41 still won that race over Michael Dukakis, but these are different times with the Internet and social media.
Joe Biden…as a compassionate adult… I not only want you and Kamala Harris to drop out of the race by Monday morning…I want your car keys, buddy. You were that bad. You were historically horrific.
You were so bad you allowed Donald Trump of all people to sucker punch you with the Manchurian Candidate comment which propelled me out of my chair laughing my ass off.
You were horrible.
And evidently one of my favorite columnists at the NY Times, Tom Friedman, agrees with me because like me he’s calling for you to do the right thing by Monday morning at your farewell presidential press conference.
You were so bad there in fact should be some talk of invoking the 25th Amendment.
Keep in mind…I still think Donald Trump belongs in federal prison for the remainder of his life for what he did before Jan. 6th, on Jan. 6th, and after Jan. 6th. But just because the fact Donald Trump is a compulsive liar and in fact a criminal does not let you off the hook.
The fact of the matter is last night the American people and democracy would have been better served if Liz Cheney, Adam Kensinger, Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, and Asa Hutchinson had been on that CNN stage opposite Donald Trump.
Here’s my list…Gretchen Whitmer, Hakeem Jeffries, Michael Bennett, Tim Ryan, Will Hurd, and maybe Larry Hogan. Hell, at this point…I’d even call Chris Christie and see if he would consider appearing in a debate one on one opposite Donald Trump on behalf of American democracy.
Dude…this isn’t about your presidential legacy ego at this point.
This is about the preservation of American democracy. The preservation of our institutions. The preservation of our judicial system. The preservation of our concept of the three branches of government.
THIS IS ABOUT THE PRESERVATION OF THE RULE OF LAW AND YOU MASSIVELY FAILED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LAST NIGHT WITH THE WORLD WATCHING.
Joe Biden…do the right thing and drop out of this presidential race.
