Oh my! RollingStone commentary; How Joe Biden Squandered His Own Legacy

[crimycarny]

53. Wrong.

How quickly the press forgets. There were NON-STOP articles on Biden’s age from the beginning of his Presidency, every Biden gaffe, and almost zero coverage of Biden’s wins throughout his entire Presidency. How many articles did we see about Trump’s age when Biden dropped out? Close to zero.

Hindsight being 20/20 I do wish Biden had chosen not to run again, BUT, that doesn’t guarantee that there was any miracle candidate who could have won. The Trump supporters were frothing at the mouth with the idea of “revenge”, they were so mad about 2020 it blinded them to all else.

Lastly, after Joe’s bad debate Joe Biden knew that if he stepped down he had to do it from a position of strength and not while he was down. He knew if he didn’t fight his way back up his current Presidency would be at risk AND the press coverage would be nothing but stories of Joe’s fall (a new candidate would have gotten no press, or negative press painting them as having pushed Joe out). Remember too that Joe was making a hostage deal. If he had stepped down that deal would have fallen through. I don’t think it coincidence that Joe Biden made his announcement only after the hostage deal was finalized.

Thank you Joe.
