Joe Biden’s ABC interview won’t help his doomed campaign

President Biden (ABC News)

Like a father confessor, ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos tried everything to jolt President Joe Biden out of his complacency. He pleaded with him. He queried him. He exhorted him. Nothing worked. Throughout the interview, if that’s what it was, Biden rebuffed his entreaties as though they couldn’t be more outlandish.  

Down in the polls? Not a bit of it. Democratic lawmakers preparing to ask him to step down? Never happening. And so on. He clearly couldn’t grasp that his presidency isn’t in trouble; it’s cratering. 

Even the Almighty that Biden regularly invoked wouldn’t be able to resurrect his shambles of a presidency

Whether Biden is suffering from cognitive issues may be an open question, but he appears to have developed a severe case of Ruth Bader Ginsburg syndrome. Like the former Supreme Court justice, Biden is clinging to his post in the delusion that he can outlast his foes. The most he could say about Donald J.
