Also just to add, the people who made it to the nyt/wapo roles didn’t get there by being policy wonks they got there by being well sourced. And you can’t “source” you way into a scoop on how the Supreme Court is breaking America
The President of the United States has lost the ability to speak extemporaneously (no teleprompter) and legibly in public for more than 3 minutes at a stretch. This is objectively a really big deal.
"Legibly" is the wrong adjective to use when referring to spoken language. "Legibly" pertains to clear and readable handwriting or printed text. Instead, use "clearly" or "articulately" to describe someone speaking in a way that is easy to understand. Don’t run for president.
I’m not trying to dunk on you, dude. I’m trying to highlight that your criticism wrongly assumes cognitive inability based on word choice errors, ignoring B's proven job performance as President. You made word choice error w/o any pressure of an audience and a torrent of lies to refute.
A real issue is the longstanding (decades long) weakness of the D’s communication strategy, not B's cognitive abilities. R’s excel at manipulating public sentiment with deceitful tactics, while the D’s struggle with messaging despite their popular policies, basic governing competence.
Do you think D’s would message a candidate switch well? All evidence is they would struggle to do so. The current media environment is no help. Do you think the media would even permit and promote a narrative other than Dems in disarray?
The White House regularly publishes corrected transcripts of his spoken remarks that clean up major errors. Everyone in the room "knew what he meant" but the errors (mixing up countries and leaders etc) have to be fixed for reasons of accuracy. One example of many.
Biden did at least two live radio interviews with local hosts in Wisconsin & Pennsylvania in the last couple days. They were fine & it's a smart way to reach voters in those battleground states. The DC press are not happy with this.
Did you yourself listen to them? I'm asking sincerely. I watched him depart from his teleprompter remarks at the WH today and it was troubling, I could see a mind struggling to put thoughts together.
Agree 1 billion %, the choice between them isn't even close. I'm still making a political judgment call that victory in this cycle with Biden at the top is no longer possible. The high stakes of T's return make it ever more urgent that the campaign be lead by someone w/ energy & creativity.
