In politics, as in so many fields of endeavor, timing is everything. In this election year, regarding the presidential election, the Democrats really screwed up.
It was very apparent early on that Joe Biden was losing it. By spring, it was obvious that he was getting worse; he couldn't answer a question without wandering off into a nonsensical ramble. His flashes of unfounded anger, difficulties with finding words, and inappropriate gestures and behavior, especially around young women and children, painted a vivid picture of a man in the throes of dementia. But his administration and Democrats in Congress, along with the liberal and progressive legacy media, just kept whistling past that graveyard. "He's fine," they insisted, "He's as sharp as a tack," and "He's beaten Donald Trump once, and he can do it again."
Then came the first scheduled presidential debate, and all that came crashing down. But there was just one problem. Joe Biden had, in the primary elections, already sealed up the delegates required to sew up the nomination. So - a putsch it was. Joe had to go; the polls were cratering, and the Democrats found themselves in the unenviable position of having Kamala Harris being the least awful choice. Now, none other than the New York Times's Maureen Dowd is decrying what was done to befuddled old Joe.
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd deemed President Biden's ouster a "coup" orchestrated behind the scenes by powerful Democrats on Sunday.
"Even though it was the right thing to do, because Joe Biden was not going to be able to campaign, much less serve as president for another four years, in a fully vital way, it was a jaw-dropping putsch," Dowd wrote.
The president announced he would be dropping out of the race for the White House at the end of July, following weeks of pressure from top Democrats, who had reportedly called on him to bow out in private. Top Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer and more have repeatedly denied they were involved in a "coup" to push Biden out.
"At some point, when the polls cratered, Democratic mandarins decided to put the welfare of the party — and the country — ahead of the president’s ego, and stop catering to his self-regarding fantasy that he was the only one who could beat Donald Trump," Dowd continued.
