| The New York Times is going crazy over the thought that Joe Biden might be the nominee. | |
| I think they had three pieces. | |
| They had an editorial, they had Ross Douthat, and I believe another one. | |
| Maureen Dowd. | |
| Maureen Dowd. | |
| Oh yeah, she's at the Times? | |
| No, she is? | |
| Okay, yeah. | |
| She doesn't write regularly, does she? | |
| Yeah, she does. | |
| Okay, I screwed that one up. | |
| All right. | |
| I guess I don't read her. | |
| I read a lot of their stuff. | |
| Anyway, they're going crazy because he's deteriorating. | |
| I don't say this with any glee. | |
| I think he's morally deteriorated decades ago, but he's deteriorating mentally. | |
| It's so odd, they keep headlining age. | |
| It's not the age. | |
| Nobody talked about Fauci's age. | |
| He was the same age. | |
| The issue is that he's not functioning. | |
| And he's not popular beyond not functioning. | |
| But it's fascinating that he doesn't... | |
| I don't care enough about his party and his country as to say, you know what? | |
| I'm going to retire in a burst of glory. | |
| Daily Mail. | |
| The week Biden lost the New York Times, Liberal Papers editorial board unleashes astonishing broadside warning of a dark moment as it runs back-to-back opinion pieces, knifing the elderly president after damning special counsel report. | |
| They said that Biden's performance at his news conference on Thursday night was, quote, intended to assure the public that his memory is fine and argue that Mr. Herr was out of line. | |
| But this is not what happened. | |
| Instead, According to the opinion piece, the president raised more questions about his cognitive sharpness and temperament as he delivered emotional and snappish retorts in a moment when people were looking for steady, even, and capable responses to fair questions about his fitness. | |
| The combination of Mr. Biden's age and his absence from the public stage has eroded the public's confidence. | |
| He looks as if he is hiding, or worse, being hidden. | |
| That's tabby. | |
| The details in Mr. Herr's report will only heighten those concerns which Mr. Trump's campaign is already exploiting. | |
| Ross Douthat! | |
| Who is one of two conservatives... | |
| I mean, he's what we call moderate conservative. | |
| Wrote in the Times, Joe Biden should not be running for re-election. | |
| He said if Biden drops out... | |
| That is, Ross Dothat. | |
| He said if Biden drops out and anoints Vice President Kamala Harris... | |
| Quote, she's even more likely to lose to Donald Trump. | |
| But he says, quote, if he drops out and doesn't endorse his own number two, he'd be opening himself to a narrative of identitarian betrayal, aging white President Knife's first woman of color veep, and setting his party up for months of bloodletting and betrayal. | |
| A constant churn of personal and ideological drama. | |
| Yes, that's right. | |
| So I will state, in other words, what this New York Times columnist Ross Douthat said. | |
| It's a catch-22 here, in effect. | |
| If he stays in, he's regarded as incompetent. | |
| By a majority of Americans. | |
| If he leaves and doesn't endorse his vice president, the headlines on the left will be, white man betrays black woman. | |
| Because that identitarian is the term he used. | |
| Because the left is identitarian. | |
| They're very worried. | |
| About the election. |
