Are Democrats Plotting a Switcheroo of Joe Biden?
When you think about it, the Democrats are in the situation they are in for one reason, their white-hot burning hatred for Donald Trump, and their willingness to do whatever they had to to get rid of him. Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign was lagging in fourth or fifth place until along came Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and his ability to get South Carolina black voters to apparently remember that if they didn’t vote for Joe, then they weren’t black, or something. The rest, as they say, is history. It’s really Clyburn who we have to “thank” for the nightmare that is the Biden administration. But now, Democrats have a serious problem on their hands. The American people have had a rude awakening to the incompetency that is Joe Biden. They are living through it. But the worst part is, Donald Trump is back with a vengeance and better than ever. Trump is attracting massive crowds in very blue places like New Jersey and Brooklyn, New York, and currently, he is getting around 20 percent of the black vote, something unheard of for a Republican in 60 years. But while Trump is cruising along, something is very wrong with Joe, and the Democrats know it.
What many have suspected for quite a while now, is becoming very, very obvious. At a Juneteenth celebration at the White House last week, as everyone around him was dancing and enjoying the music, Joe froze. For almost a full minute, he didn’t move. He had the look of a man who had no idea where he was or why. Later the same week, at the G7 Summit in Italy, it happened again. Only this time, as other world leaders stood together, Joe began to wander off in a field toward parachuters who were coming to light on the ground nearby. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni managed to wrangle Joe and bring him back to the group. Then on Saturday night, at a glitzy Hollywood fundraiser, Joe froze again. This time, it was his old boss, Barack Obama, who grabbed him by the wrist and led him off the stage. Here are the people who undoubtedly know just how cognitively impaired Joe Biden is, Dr. Jill, Hunter, the rest of the Biden family, the White House inner circle, and top Democrat leaders. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich summed it up best recently when he said that because Joe Biden is declining so rapidly, the Democrats are going to have to make a decision as to whether Joe remains the nominee. They will simply have no choice. So, while the Democrats play this risky game of beat-the-clock, are there those who are already formulating a plan? Who is involved, and how might such a swap occur?
A recent piece in The Daily Mail may provide a clue. The plan will hinge largely on next week’s debate, how well or not Joe will do, and frankly, if he makes it through the entire 90 minutes at all. Whether Joe knows it or not, his political future hinges on his debate performance. According to the always “anonymous” sources within the Democrat party, a combination of a dismal debate night, and consistently falling poll numbers, the usual suspects of the Democrat Party Politburo would step in. That would most likely consist of Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. It would be up to them to make Joe Biden see that it is time to bring fresh blood onto the Democrat ticket. But that is not going to be easy. Joe is the head of the Party; he doesn’t have to anywhere if he doesn’t want to. And word on the street is that he is very proud of all his “accomplishments.” There is also the problem of Dr. Jill. She is going to be a two-term First Lady if she has to lead Joe around all day every day if necessary.
As if that weren’t enough, then there is Vice President Kamala Harris. Possibly the worst, most ineffective Vice President in U.S. history, and that is saying a lot for the office of the Vice President. Many have looked at Harris as Biden’s insurance policy. While Joe has been a disaster, a President Kamala Harris would be unthinkable. With Harris, Democrats have also fallen victim to their own identity politics obsession. They would have to make an attractive offer to Harris, like Governor of California, to combat far-left blowback about passing over the black female Vice President, and to make way for any viable contender. And what of that viable contender, whoever he or she is? The Mail goes on to say that Democrat strategists think there would have to be a public event at which there would be a sort of symbolic transfer of power from Joe to the new nominee. You mean like…a convention? Kamala Harris would of course have to be fully in support of this new face, another hard sell unless, again, Democrats have placed a shiny new object in front of her.
But what about whoever is the actual replacement in this replacement theory? Any poll you look at shows that Americans are more than done with failed Democrat policies. The Mail brings up another very plausible scenario. What if the replacement nominee is swapped out for Joe Biden, but loses to Trump? Does the political career of the replacement ever recover? More than likely, only if they switch parties.
It will be very interesting to see what sort of gymnastics the Democrats are forced to perform in the coming weeks. The upcoming Olympics may pale in comparison, but it will be oh so much fun to watch.
