A former President Joe Biden’s senior advisor has faulted the 82-year-old for fumbling the presidential debate, abandoning the race, and melting the party’s dream, costing Democrats the presidential election.
Mike Donilon recently discussed the elections at Harvard University, where he blamed the former president for melting the party’s dream after his well-deserved fumbles. “Now, lots of people have terrible debates. Lots of people have terrible debates. Usually, the party doesn’t lose its mind, but that’s what happened here. It melted down,” Donilon said.
Numerous left-leaning media outlets, including the notorious CNN and BBC, agree with Donilon that Biden fumbled the presidential debate, which was the last straw for his second-term presidential ambitions.
“If Joe Biden loses November’s election, history will record that it took just 10 minutes to destroy a presidency. It was clear a political disaster was about to unfold as soon as the 81-year-old commander in chief stiffly shuffled on stage in Atlanta,” CNN’s senior reporter Stephen Collinson wrote.
Ironically, Democrats would rather blame demented Biden than take responsibility for spurring the dead horse longer than it was necessary. If they held open and democratic primaries, a better candidate would have emerged and challenged Trump equally. Kamala Harris would also not have been rigged in, driving the party’s last nail in the coffin.
Nonetheless, deluded Donilon blames the Democratic Party for abandoning mentally incapacitated Biden because of his age. While age was not necessarily a disqualifying factor, Biden seems to have been suffering from more than old age. But he somehow, the Democrat found an excuse to blame Trump for his party’s failures.
“They will say they’re worried about Biden’s age, but they’ll also say something else,” Donilon continued. “They were really worried about Trump. They were worried about the fact he said he wouldn’t accept the results of the election.
“They were worried that he said, ‘I had nothing to do with Jan. 6.’ The sense from him was that he was not on the side of people.
“I said this to Biden the morning after the debate: Sometimes you can lose the campaign about the campaign. And that’s what happened to us.”
Nobody believed that Biden would beat Trump – CNN reported that three-quarters of American voters believed Democrats could retake the White House if they fronted anybody other than Biden. “Three-quarters of US voters say the Democratic Party would have a better shot at holding the presidency in 2024 with someone other than President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket,” the network reported, citing an SSRS poll [pdf].
However, nobody likely expected that person to be Kamala Harris, an even worse candidate than demented Joe.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to steamroll Democrats with a barrage of executive orders, more than CNN’s audience, according to VP JD Vance, that the media cannot keep up with. Recently, Democratic political strategist James Carville admitted that the Left was overwhelmed while Trump’s America First agenda sailed through.
“We’re getting overwhelmed,” Carville told the “Politics War Room” podcast co-host Al Hunt.
“Things that we thought that would kill a political career, would be poisonous for whatever reason, this guy keeps chugging along.”
Nonetheless, Democrats continue to hold on to the outdated past instead of aligning their political ideology with most American voters, who strongly asserted that they want secure borders, reduced government waste, and above all common sense.
