Biden goes off the rails

Biden's campaign is in serious trouble.

His poll numbers are dropping, allies are leaving, voters are questioning his cognitive abilities.

And that is readily apparent to anyone.

Unless your name is Biden.

It's time to go, Joe.

And that denial of reality is serious trouble for Democrats--and for this country.

For some reason, Joe (and Jill) seems to think that Biden can turn his candidacy around based on his past accomplishments rather than the reality of the present--or the doubt of a coherent Biden future.

His debate should have sealed his fate. His answers were rambling, mumbling, and, at times, downright incoherent.

If that wasn't the final nail, his "redemption" interview with George Stephanopolous--an interview, again, with his ramblings, a reluctance to answer questions about his mental acuity, and his refusal to submit to cognitive testing--surely was. 

But, inexplicably, it wasn't.

Today, Biden wrote a letter to Democratic legislators telling them he would not step aside.

He denies cratering polling numbers. He dismisses abysmal approval ratings. He defies those allies that suggest that it's time to go.

He clings to the (incredibly misguided) belief that his accomplishments are enough, that the despicable character of his opponent is disqualifying, that HE alone can beat Trump. 

But it's just not reality. It's not. And I'm not sure why he (or his advisors--I'm looking at you, Jill) can't see that.

And, regarding his mental acuity, that incredibly absurd belief and lack of judgment is more than enough to prove that Biden should no longer be running the country.

It's time to go, Joe.
