Among the more anticipated events of any presidential campaign are debates. In recent years, leftist media moderators like Candy Crowley and Chris Wallace have all but debated the Republican candidate themselves. In Joe Biden’s case, Wallace spent much of the debate with Donald Trump rescuing Biden from himself and Trump. For inexplicable reasons, the Republican National Committee continues to stack the debate deck against its own candidates.
The upcoming debates—three have been scheduled, but neither potential candidate has accepted them—promise to be among the most interesting in recent political history. Donald Trump is the Republican and election front runner, despite the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration’s (MMPA) attempt to remove him from state ballots and put him in prison for millennia. Every attack on him seems to increase his electoral strength and popularity.

Joe Biden’s popularity is at historic lows for any candidate at this point in a presidential campaign. His handlers are doing their best to keep him away from the public. Biden has been on vacation for 40% of his presidency, 360 days in Delaware alone. Unlike Donald Trump, there is little evidence these have been working vacations. During one recent beach excursion, Biden was seen weakly struggling to move a folding aluminum beach chair.
Barack Obama was notorious for working very little. Biden may be eclipsing his slothful record, but in his case, because his rapidly worsening dementia requires keeping him under wraps and heavily medicated if he is to occasionally sort of function in public for a few hours. Even those appearances require a cadre of watchers, including Jill Biden, who guides and corrects his speech, and immediately rushes to his side whenever he finishes speaking to avoid more video of him falling, staring, immobile, in confusion, turning circles trying to figure out how to leave the stage, or shaking hands and speaking with invisible people. All of this is worrying the Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) Party:
Democrats are not enthusiastic about the prospects of President Joe Biden, 81, facing former President Donald Trump in presidential debates this fall.
The apprehension sheds light on fears about Biden’s diminished physical and mental abilities, as polling shows Americans worry about Biden’s decline:
*Redfield & Wilton Strategies: Majority of Democrats are “concerned ” about Biden’s ability.
*YouGov: 55 percent say Biden’s health and age “ severely” limit his ability to do the job.
*NBC News: Most registered voters have “ major” concerns
Americans worry about his “health and age” because his speech is often confused and garbled, his gait is stiff and halting, he often falls, has to take the short stairs on Air Force One and he’s clearly suffering from rapidly worsening dementia. He looks 80 going on 180. But that’s not an issue for D/s/cs, no: the problem, as always, is Donald Trump:
“I would think twice about it,” said Senate Democrat Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) told the Hill about Biden potentially debating later this year. “I’ve been physically present at one of [Trump’s] debates with Hillary Clinton, and I watched him do outrageous things and say outrageous things. It’s just an opportunity for him to display his extremism.”
Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), a Biden ally, said Biden should be weary of debating Trump due to the former president’s ability to overcome establishment media bias. Biden should be careful about allowing Trump to air alleged “hateful, fascist remark,” Coons said.
I was about to say if Biden can’t stand up to Trump, how can he stand up to our enemies, but he doesn’t stand up to our enemies. Even D/s/c strategist James Carville has a more realistic take:
James Carville, the architect of Bill Clinton’s election campaigns, said Biden might be better off not debating to avoid “damage.” On the other hand, Carville explained, if Trump wins the nomination, he will have “legitimacy” to demand a debate with Biden, who could agree to one debate event.
“It’s kind of expected of a presidential candidate,” Carville told the Hill . “If he gets the nomination, Republican primary voters will have given him legitimacy. I mean, we don’t hand it out like gummy bears or something.”
“Somebody’s going to take a poll, and 73 percent of the people will think there ought to be a debate,” he predicted. “You can do it or not do it as you see fit, but there are consequences to it,” he added.
If Joe Biden is the nominee, and if he runs, if events don’t cast him out, the consequences for refusing to debate will be an even higher percentage of the voting public becoming convinced Biden belongs in an assisted living facility rather than the White House. Come to think of it, he is in an assisted living facility now.

Biden kept quiet about his vast removal of classified documents for over a decade. Not until Trump was being investigated did Biden suddenly notify the government of his illegal removals.
Biden’s easy-migration policies are deliberately adding the foreigners’ problems to the lengthening list of Americans’ problems — homelessness , low wages , a shrinking middle class , slowing innovation , declining blue-collar life expectancy , spreading poverty , the rising death toll from drugs , and the spreading alienation among young people.
Michelle Obama: ‘I Am Terrified About What Could Possibly Happen’ in 2024 Election Jean Catuffe/GC Images 2:38
Former First Lady Michelle Obama said in a recent interview that her fears about the 2024 presidential election keep her up at night.
“I am terrified about what could possibly happen,” Obama said of the 2024 race in a Monday episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast.
“Because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit — it affects us in ways that sometimes, I think, people take for granted,” she said when asked to name some of her fears that keep her awake.
“The fact that people think that: ‘Government, does it really even do anything?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh my God, does government do everything for us,'” Obama, 59, continued. “And we cannot take this democracy for granted. And sometimes, I worry that we do.”
“Those are the things that keep me up,” she said.
The former first lady listed other concerns, including wars “in too many regions,” artificial intelligence, education, people being “too stuck” to their cell phones, and voter engagement.
Watch:
“If anything, what does still offend you?” Shetty asked.
“Injustice, ego, greed,” Obama replied. “Racism, ignorance — it’s offensive. And I’ve always been that kid. I don’t like unfairness; I don’t like bullies. But I have to think about how I deliver messages.”
Obama’s interview dropped amid reported concerns from her husband, former President Barack Obama, about the possibility of former President Donald Trump returning to the White House.
Barack Obama has increasingly questioned President Joe Biden’s prospects for November’s election and “feels that Democrats very well could lose,” according to an anonymous insider cited by the Wall Street Journal in December.
Trump is expected to cruise into the general election after easily securing the Republican primary nomination, recent poll numbers suggest.
In the Shetty interview, Michelle Obama appeared to call out the GOP frontrunner without directly naming him.
“The tone and tenor of the message matters. We can’t just say the first thing that comes to our minds,” she told the British-Indian life coach.
“That is not authenticity to me. That’s childish, and we see childish leadership right before us — what that looks like and how that feels, where somebody is just base and vulgar and cynical in a leadership position,” Obama continued. “It doesn’t trickle down well. That just begets more of that.”

Reports — Obama ‘Fears’ Trump Can Defeat Biden: ‘Dangerous Complacency’ Alex Wong/Getty Images, Inset: NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images, BNN Edit 2:52
Former President Barack Obama “fears” former President Donald Trump can defeat President Joe Biden in 2024 and believes he is “way too Zen,” “ too complacent — and unimaginative,” according to recent reports by Axios and the Washington Post .
The warning runs contrary to how many Biden allies perceive the likely rematch against Trump. Aides outlined to Axios four “articles of faith” of outside factors they claim will benefit Biden during the 2024 cycle:
A calmer foreign policy chaos in 2024 An improving economy $1 billion in future negative ads against Trump The abortion issue favors Democrats O ne reason Obama might worry about Biden losing the election is due to the president’s well documented temper and aides who are afraid to get “their heads bitten off” when confronting the president, sources told Axios.

Obama grew “animated” last month during a lunch with Biden while discussing his reelection campaign against Trump, three people familiar with the conversations told the Post:
During the lunch, Obama noted the success of his reelection campaign structure in 2012, when some of his top presidential aides, including David Axelrod and Jim Messina, left the White House to take charge of the reelection operation in Chicago. That is a sharp contrast from Biden’s approach of leaving his closest aides at the White House even though they are involved in all the key decisions made by the campaign.
Obama also recommended that Biden seek counsel from Obama’s own former campaign aides, which Biden officials say they have done, the people said.
Obama has been even more explicit with people close to Biden, suggesting the campaign needs to move aggressively as Trump appears poised to quickly wrap up the Republican nomination. His concerns about the campaign structure were not tied to a specific moment, but rather his belief that campaigns need to be agile in competitive races, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential conversations.
Polling does not present a positive picture for the president:

Obama is Trying to Take Over Biden’s Campaign The power play is here.
Former president Barack Obama has raised questions about the structure of President Biden’s reelection campaign, discussing the matter directly with Biden and telling the president’s aides and allies the campaign needs to be empowered to make decisions without clearing them with the White House, according to three people familiar with the conversations.
Obama grew “animated” in discussing the 2024 election and former president Donald Trump’s potential return to power, one of the people said, and has suggested to Biden’s advisers that the campaign needs more top-level decision-makers at its headquarters in Wilmington, Del. — or it must empower the people already in place. Obama has not recommended specific individuals, but he has mentioned David Plouffe, who managed Obama’s 2008 race, as the type of senior strategist needed at the Biden campaign.
David Plouffe also remained Obama’s senior advisor who headed his internal comms strategy. He then became Obama’s point man for warning Biden to stand down and let Hillary get the nomination.
I don’t know how compos mentis Biden is, but I can only imagine his teeth gritting at the mention of Plouffe.
Biden’s weakness has really brought out the vultures. As I wrote recently, Biden had turned to Hillary Clinton for help.
Hillary Clinton is hosting fundraisers for Biden and making the case for him to Democrats. The Clintons won’t spit in your face for free and acting as a campaign surrogate comes with a high price. That’s why Hillary is now suddenly back on the world stage, meeting with foreign leaders and why her aides are showing up in the Biden campaign. Dennis Cheng, the vice president of the Clinton Foundation, is now going to be Biden’s deputy political director, tying together the Biden campaign and the Clinton moneymaking operation.
Now Obama showed up to name his price for a piece of what’s left of Biden’s soul.
Why is this story appearing in the Washington Post? Obama’s people are applying pressure on Biden’s people by way of putting the word out to Biden’s donors.
Obama also recommended that Biden seek counsel from Obama’s own former campaign aides, which Biden officials say they have done, the people said.
No doubt.
Biden’s people are worried about being displaced. A campaign shakeup and a hijacking followed by Obama’s people taking over.
This is really a pitched battle over who gets to be the hand inside an elderly and increasingly less functional puppet.
