As the election grows closer, Joe Biden appears to grow more discombobulated with every public appearance. He is no longer just stumbling over his own feet and words; he is now appearing to freeze up ala Mitch McConnell, leading many, including democrats, to believe he may not make it to the General Election in November. Since the Democrats have no one warmed up and ready in the bullpen, they are resigned to riding with the 82-year-old president.
Since the left has no contingency plans for a replacement, the next best thing is to accuse the opponent of having the same issues. The liberal media has seized on any alleged slip-up by President Trump in recent weeks in a desperate attempt to paint the likely Republican nominee in the same light that Biden is in.
Of course, that is absurd. President Trump regularly delivers two-plus-hour speeches without note cards or a teleprompter the size of a drive-in movie theater, which Biden uses. Anyone who speaks in a stream-of-consciousness manner, like President Trump, will naturally be prone to occasional mistakes, but the left’s insistence on making it an issue looks desperate.
Recently, one of the most anti-Trump personalities on television made some rather absurd assertions about the former president and his mental fitness. “The View” co-host Joy Behar has questioned why no one was talking about Trump and focusing on Joe Biden’s age. She said: “But let’s look at reality, okay? All I hear about is how old Joe Biden is, because he trips, he trips. OK, I trip a lot also. I’m more worried about Trump.”
Behar played a short clip of Trump losing his train of thought during unscripted appearances over the weekend and contrasted it with Biden. She continued: “And I think about these two guys and I think, you know, Biden trips. He stutters but he gets things done, and he’s rational even if he makes a mistake. This man is losing his words just like somebody in another state that I won’t mention. He’s losing the words and he’s talking about Argentina as if it’s a person. People have to see these tapes and understand what will happen if he’s in the White House and why doesn’t the media cover that more than I do?”
On Wednesday, ABC’s Johnathon Karl was a guest on the show. He said: “And let’s face it, they’re both making gaffes. And Biden talked about air-dropping food to Ukraine when he meant, and this was where he was announcing the initiative,” at which point Behar cut him off in a sad attempt to make excuses for Biden when she said, “But Biden has a lot to think about, Trump has nothing to think about except running and staying out of jail.” It was the usual low blow from Behar when talking about Trump.
Behar saved her best, most absurd comments for last when she said: “The question is this, let’s say, God forbid, Joe Biden dies in office. Isn’t that still okay for the country? The country will survive it. But if Trump wins, the country will not survive it. That’s a fact.”
Perhaps the 81-year-old Behar conveniently forgot the prosperity and peace of the Trump Administration, or considering she is 81, maybe she can’t remember. Either way, the cloying attempts by the left to say “What about Trump” regarding mental acuity is a sad, desperate attempt to carry Biden to the finish line in November.
