“ Jill Biden was right at her husband’s side Saturday as they exited Air Force One to head for a pair of campaign stops at luxurious vacation homes on Long Island. And she got straight to the point when it was her turn to introduce the president at a tony fundraiser You watched it, and, on the most basic human level, you could only feel pity for the man and, more, fear for the country.” The first lady is trying to rally support for her husband after a dreadful performance in Thursday’s presidential debate created fresh worries about President Joe Biden’s age and his ability to compete in November’s election and to serve another four years. JillBiden has taken a leading role, wearing a dress Friday decorated with the word “Vote.”“As Joe said earlier today, he’s not a young man, ” she allowed. “And you know, after last night’s debate, he said, ‘You know, Jill, I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel that great.’Jill Biden, 73, has long been her husband’s chief confidant and public defender, but her role looms larger this year and is attracting increasing scrutiny some of whom question whether she’s the one doing the steering these days. “Yet in another swing state, Pennsylvania, The Philadelphia Inquirer took another tack. Bidenshouldn’t be the presidential candidate dropping out, the newspaper said in an editorial over the weekend. “There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president, ” the Inquirer wrote. “The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be.” You watched it, and, on the most basic human level, you could only feel pity for the man and, more, fear for the country.”

Is that what his crackhead campaign advisor told him.taking questions from reporters and a cognitive test would be a great start!

[lanier]

Look, he had a bad night. Who doesn't? Can't we get over that? His acuity is razor sharp. I'm serious. You just got to look at his other vids where he speaks to see how sharp he is compared to Trump....and other Dems. Bad-mouthing Biden makes me sick.
