Not Settled with Words

Well, that's a clever construction of lyrics from the debate. I don't know if it is deja vu, though. I watched Jon Stewart's reaction to the debate before watching the unedited debate and it says a lot that Stewart's coverage, normally skewed left, makes it look like Biden lost the debate. "This cannot be reality!" Stewart concluded.

It does seem incredible the Democrats couldn't do better than to prop up poor old Biden, whose speech frequently disintegrated to unintelligible word salad. It's all the more striking for those of us who remember the vibrant Biden of ten or so years ago.

So I guess Trump's going to be president again. And, again, it seems like a race that the Democrats lost more than one that Trump won. Biden's evident weak faculties are only part of it. People are sick of the left lying or shading the truth, at least when it comes to things people are paying attention to, like whether or not January 6th was truly an insurrection or whether Trump truly deserves to be a felon for paying off a porn star he had sex with. These stick in people's minds a lot better than climate change or even abortion rights.

What the Democrats need is someone who comes off as both competent and down to Earth. Obama fit the bill. How could he possibly be the only one?
