No Fault
The first 2024 Presidential Debate: too short and too long.
June 28
According to media event apologist, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, during the first 2024 Presidential debate which aired Wednesday, June 27, Trump got more ‘Trumpy;’ Biden got more angry. What went unmentioned was the growing disaffection with Biden as President, which didn’t need a debate to prove: the entire display was an unforced no-fault debacle of ‘compare and contrast.’
The 2024 Presidential debate advocates fell on their faces last night. The country of viewers seeking confirmation of who’s more fit to serve as President fell with them.
What was unnerving about the evening for the Democratic and independent voter was how the President’s party unraveled his experience — aging in an age-disdaining nation will do that — leaving more space for the sheepish Republican Party to confirm a rallying place: Trump as President.
The Democrats sealed the deal on the young vote abandoning Biden and voting, which is unfortunate, because this electorate has much to lose as ‘Trump as President’ undoes all the benefits ‘Biden as President’ claims he has and will deliver, if re-elected.
If one needed evidence it came in the form of two looming socio-economic crises affecting young families and family formation in an aging America — child care and the opioid epidemic — which Trump failed to address, multiple times when Jake Tapper and Dana Bash of CNN questioned him.
And women’s health care rights? ‘All of America wants the states to decide…’ (Trump) Fact check: No, America wants women’s health care decided by them and their doctors.
America needs a replay — not another debate, a farewell address.
