I did not watch the Presidential debate this week, but I’ve seen a few clips. All of those involving President Biden made me wince, but not because his responses suggested incompetence. Instead, it evoked the empathetic response of I’ve had bad head colds. too.
But when Mr. Trump appeared, what struck me was how everything he said was a lie, an unearned boast, a claim shorn of important context, and from what I’ve heard and read, that applied to all he said.
It appears to me that Mr. Trump is the stricken one here. It’s becoming apparent that Mr. Trump has completely lost the capability to operate with truth. His connection with reality, and consequently America, is gone; his driving narcissism and, possibly, religious passion, has caused him to enter a terminal tail-spin that should probably place him in a mental hospital for his own safety.
Will everyone figure this out? I figure the answer to that is No, a lot of pundits, driven by money and employer expectation, will call for Biden to retire, probably in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. And there’s quite a few already doing so, using obviously cute approaches to signal their employers that they’re doing their jobs.
Keep your mind and eyes open, folks, and watch how the polls come out – and how those pollsters rate.
