Like many Americans, I watched the first debate of the year for the presidential campaign. And also like many Americans, I was appalled by Joe Biden's performance. It was the cringe event of the century. Many people half-joked before the debate that Biden wouldn't be able to last the night unless he was jacked up on amphetamines and other stimulants. The second he began talking we knew it probably wasn't a joke after all. He rambled on and on at high speed, not even pausing between sentences and rarely blinking as he looked around in wide-eyed confusion. Many of his sentences trailed off into mumbling. What was he saying? Even Trump couldn't figure it out. And I lost count of how many times Biden began a sentence with "the idea", as in "The idea that you question me". He said it so often it became both comical and sad at the same time.

After the debate, the news media talking heads all cried together with fake concern about Joe Biden's performance. They seemed to be in a genuine panic about what they'd just witnessed, and many began suggesting it was time for Biden to step aside and let someone new take on Donald Trump. But the reactions weren't natural and spontaneous. Although the debate was real, the after-debate chatter on all the news programs was planned in advance. I heard intel last week that Democratic Party insiders were planning to replace Biden after the debate. They let him go on, knowing it would be a train wreck. News media commentators knew what would happen, and their remarks were partially scripted. Biden was sacrificed tonight by a political party more concerned about power than in preserving any dignity left in an elderly man who has been their puppet for the past four years. Such is the morality of the Democratic Party.

This was probably Biden's last debate. We'll now be subjected to days of pre-planned televised interviews with party officials talking about how Joe needs to go, followed by discussions of who could possibly take his place. But we know it's a conversation that's already been privately held many times over the past few months, and there's little doubt that they've already picked someone new. 

For the power-mad elites running the Democratic Party, tonight's debate was just their way of clearing the stage of an old, frail, and pathetic man they no longer have a use for. It's a heartless way to treat a person, and if they'll do it to one of their own, what do you think they'll do the rest of us?
