Good column, Nate, but I wonder about your being hopeful that the silent majority will no longer be silent. The silent majority spoke en masse in 2016 and told the elitist career swamp-dwellers in Washington DC that they were tired of being told they were deplorable and needed to shut up and let the intelligencia run rough-shod over our freedoms and values because, well, you know, they just know what’s best for we ignoramuses and backwater hicks.
The intelligencia responded with predictable indignity and have wasted untold millions of dollars of taxpayer money and hours of valuable time trying to undo that election, so we’ve seen what happens when the silent majority is no longer silent and deigns to suggest that we’d be better off running the country without their “help.”
The more Feltman writes, the more I question my IBJ subscription.
I mean, please. Your complaint with Joe Biden is that he’s not all there, and your example is from deceptively edited and debunked social media that circulated in conservative circles. He immediately corrects himself, but you don’t see that part on the video.
Meanwhile, Trump gets asked what he would accomplish with a second term on Fox News and this is his response:
=====
“Well, one of the things that will be really great, you know the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I’ve always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It’s an — a very important meaning.
I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington, I think, 17 times. All of a sudden, I’m president of the United States. You know the story. I’m riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our First Lady and I say, ‘This is great. But I didn’t know very many people in Washington. It wasn’t my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now I know everybody, and I have great people in the administration.”
You make some mistakes. Like, you know, an idiot like Bolton. All he wanted to do was drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to kill people.”
=====
That’s an advertisement for invoking the 25th Amendment right there. You can’t even deepfake that word salad into something presidential. But, sure, go on and tell me Joe Biden’s not all there.
Get a life, Joe B: Biden’s onset of dementia is as obvious as your case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Feltman is correct in citing the many cases of Joe Biden’s growing problem….especially under pressure. Have you seen that disastrous interview on The View…where he was among adoring friends, for Pete’s sake…and couldn’t string together a cohesive sentence to save his soul?
And when he does correct himself, which is not all that often, do you really want such a confused, irregular mentality running the country? Geeze….but I suppose you do.
Feltman quoted one that was BS.
We already have a confused, irregular person running the country who has pretty much trashed things in less than 4 years. “I alone can fix it” was the promise but the reality is that “everything Trump touches dies”. If you can’t see that, I can’t help you, but I can advise you get your news from more diverse sources.
And I’m someone who’d vote for Mitch Daniels for president in a heartbeat. He might be a good Republican candidate for 2024 since he hasn’t spent the last five years embarrassing himself kowtowing to Trump. They will have to look far and wide to find people without the Trump stain.
It’s not Biden’s fault that he may well be able to win the presidency just by letting Trump continue to make mistakes. He’d be an improvement because he’d have, at least, people around him who are qualified to be there, as opposed to the vast number of “acting” individuals surrounding Trump, most of whom would never make it through vetting even by a Republican Senate. Remember when Trump was going to have an awesome selection of all the best people around him to make up for his lack of experience? Yeah, how did that play out?
