32. Agree 100%

Tuesday

Those 12 days of international travel before the debate weren’t exactly low profile, low pressure state dinners. He went to France for a D-Day ceremony, where he made an amazing speech. Flew back to US, then flew to Italy for the G7 summit, then back to LA for a fundraiser! If Joe was in such “decline” that his staff was trying to keep him out of the public eye, I find those events a very odd way to do so.

Joe Biden had to run under a media microscope with every single misspeak exaggerated way out of proportion (which, by the way, Joe Biden has done since he started as a Senator at 29), and his own party throwing him under the bus.

If the GOP could get a 34-time convicted felon, rapist, and inciter of January 6th elected, what does that say about the Democratic Party who can’t get an incumbent with one of the best legislative records since FDR re-elected?
