The media tease that former Vice President Joe Biden ought to sit out the presidential debates. But the Democratic presidential nominee’s wife Jill maintains that he will certainly participate in them. That’s a good, necessary, and norm-respecting decision that the public deserves.
Not only do we deserve to see how Biden can perform when his feet are actually put to the fire by a non-woke adversary, but we also deserve, after this disaster of a pandemic and a depression-laden year, to see the most insane presidential debate of all time.
Sure, given the pandemic’s population size restrictions, we won’t have Hunter Biden’s baby mama toted out on the sidelines by President Trump, as we saw Bill Clinton’s rape and harassment victims at the debate in 2016. But without the theater of a live event or a challenger as maniacal and dexterous as Hillary Clinton, we’ll get to see the presidential election for what it really is: a choice made in hell between a senile swamp monster and the modern amalgamation of Nero and Narcissus, who couldn’t stop watching himself on television as America’s cities burned to the ground.
Consider that Trump is happy to accuse his former television best friend of outright murder without a shred of evidence, but when asked about the damning legal case brought by his own Justice Department against the most notorious (alleged) sex trafficker and pedophile on the planet, Trump said he wished Ghislaine Maxwell “well.” When given the chance to correct the faux pas in a disaster of an interview with Axios’s Jonathan Swan, Trump doubled down. Go figure.
And then there’s the barely alive guy who is brought out of his basement by his handlers once a week for proof of life. He will soon choose a running mate — either a cop or a mafia boss, who will be his de facto shadow president. Given his genuine affability and desire for compromise with Republicans, Biden wouldn’t have been so bad in his 2012 form, but at nearly 80 years old, it’s clear that the ultra-woke tail of the Democratic Party wags the dog. His administration will be anything but moderate. It’s not just lefty superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being given a seat on Biden’s climate policy panel. He’s also handing Bernie Sanders an entire tree by appointing Stephanie Kelton to his economic policy branch. She unironically believes that money grows on trees.
Will Biden accuse Trump of being a drug addict? Will Trump accuse Biden of murder? Will each of them bring up the sexual assault allegations against the other? Probably! We nominated these two, and we deserve the glorious train wreck that will result when they come together to debate.
