NEWBURGH, Ind. — President Joe Biden could no longer keep his head above water and drowned this past Sunday.
Democrat leaders turned their backs and covered their ears to Biden’s gurgling for oxygen, as he no longer could tread water and succumbed to the swirling, raging political waters.
For 50 years, Biden has worked for and supported the Democratic Party, but in these recent days the party leaders turned their backs on him as big money donors called the shots with their pocketbooks.
As the money flow came to a halt, the party leaders began to cry and beg Biden to resign from the 2024 presidential race.
Keep in mind that, with party support, Biden had raised over $200 million. That’s a lot of money to enrich television station owners across the country. How much of this money will go to the Democratic nominee is yet to be seen. Whether it’s Vice President Kamala Harris or whoever, we can be assured Biden won’t transfer all that money to the new nominee. How much money Harris, or whoever is running, raises between now and November, will not be as much as Biden has raised in the last couple of years.
Wouldn’t you love to have the leadership of the Democratic Party as your best friends? When the going got tough, they folded and left President Biden to drown.
Donald Trump’s supporters have stood with him through the fires of hell. Everything has been thrown at Trump, including bullets, and support for Trump has only grown. The prosecution and persecution of Trump only strengthened him. His numbers became stronger. The more he was in the news for being in court or faced the possibility of jail, the more his supporters stood with him.
Biden had already slowed down during the 2020 campaign. However, he was able to keep a steady conversation going at the two debates he had with then President Trump. Plus, he had the majority of the American media backing him.
This time around, they hoped the Biden who did well with his 2024 State of the Union address would be the one who showed up to debate Trump last month. However, Biden was not able to rise to the occasion, sending his supporters into a tailspin.
Biden has slipped since his early years in the Senate. He is not the articulate orator we remember from way back then. There was a day and time when I admired Joe Biden’s numerous abilities.
President Biden will always be able to look back and remember that the primary voters elected him to represent the Democratic Party in 2024. What happened to the will of the people?
Biden tried to keep swimming, as he had one more goal line he wanted to cross. Unfortunately, he needed a life jacket this time, and no one in his party would throw him one.
Give thought and consideration as to who you consider your friends. If they will let a 50-plus-year devoted friend drown, what will they do to you?
