The Patriot Post® · In Brief: Who Will Vote for a Walking Corpse?
Mark Alexander has been saying for about a year and a half that Joe Biden will not be the Democrat presidential nominee. According to ABC News, “86% of Americans think Biden, 81, is too old to serve another term as president.” Well, Steve Green wants to know, who’s going to vote for him anyway?
Social media was briefly abuzz last month about Presidentish Joe Biden’s boat-anchor shoes, the ones meant to help keep him from falling. But the shoes aren’t what really weigh him down — it’s voter expectations that he won’t survive a second term.
After a few hilarious paragraphs about Biden’s shoes, Green goes on:
The shoes are just the latest, ah, step taken to hide Biden’s increasing senescence. He isn’t allowed to walk up and down the big boy stairs on Air Force One any longer, and he maintains a work schedule best described as “retirement community.”
For what it’s worth, I’m not mocking Biden’s age. With my sometimes complete lack of grace, I’ll probably end up wearing something like Hoka Transports a lot younger than Biden did. What I am mocking, however, is the idea that Biden has the physical and mental stamina to serve four more years — and an overwhelming majority of Americans share that assessment.
He cites another poll showing that just 38% of voters even believe Biden will still be alive in January 2029. He concludes:
COVID-19 gave Biden a justification for his 2020 “basement campaign,” but that excuse won’t hold water in 2024. Even worse, as I’ve noted before, the Biden we saw in 2020 was visibly slower and weaker than the vice president we were so happy to see leave Washington in 2017 — and 2024 Biden is no 2020 Biden.
“A vote for Biden is actually a vote for Harris” needs to be hammered home again and again.
