Given the lengthy list of gaffes, falls, trips, babbling, and general state of confusion that President Joe Biden consistently finds himself in, many folks were mystified by the fact that he would actually issue a challenge to former President Donald Trump, a man who is clearly still in possession of a fully-functioning brain, to debate him. Especially when you take a gander at his polling data which is pretty bad. And that’s putting it mildly.
Why would he take a course of action like this that is all but guaranteed to result in his being utterly destroyed and humiliated? The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro believes he has the answer.
via The Daily Wire:
Shapiro, who co-founded The Daily Wire, appeared on Fox News’ “Life, Liberty, and Levin” with host Mark Levin on Saturday evening and analyzed the state of the presidential race so far. Biden shook up the race last week agreeing to two debates ahead of November after months of needling from Trump.
“[Biden] believes that if he just says ‘January 6’ then ‘Trump’ over and over and over, then he’s going to win. Presumably, that is why he is now acceding to a debate with Trump,” Shapiro went on to say during the segment. “He realizes that this election is a referendum on him. He’s hoping that if he can get Trump on stage, he can make the election a referendum on Donald Trump.”
If recent polls are accurate, Biden needs to shake up the race to avoid losing his reelection bid to his predecessor. Trump is beating Biden in every key battleground state with leads ranging from 0.6 in Wisconsin to 6.2 in Nevada, according to Real Clear Politics polling averages. Biden is skeptical about the state of his campaign as reflected in polling, according to Axios.
“While the press doesn’t write about it, the momentum is clearly in our favor, with the polls moving towards us and away from Trump,” Biden said to a group of donors during a recent chat.
Not only is Biden suffering from a pretty severe case of Swiss cheese brain, it seems he’s also totally delusional and in complete denial about the reality of how this presidential race is going. People really despise this dude. And they have good reason to. Going to the grocery store has become the stuff nightmares are made of. Once upon a time, people used to dread going to the dentist. Thanks to the massive inflation we’re experiencing — due to poor policies enacted by the Biden administration — that fear and dread has now moved over to the weekly shopping session.
You know it’s bad when people would rather go get root canal than make a stop at the supermarket.
During a recent interview with CNN, Biden said, “The polling data has been wrong all along. How many — you guys do a poll at CNN. How many folks you have to call to get one response?”
Ben “1.5 Speed” Shapiro stated during his appearance on Fox that the president’s obvious issues with acknowledging just how awful he’s done in the White House as evidenced by many, many polls, is “the mark of a losing campaign.”
He then went on to say that the strategy Trump needs to employ during the debate is to keep things focused on Biden’s really bad leadership.
“If Donald Trump during those debates simply stands there and points physically at Joe Biden, Donald Trump will be president again,” Shapiro zinged. “The reality is most Americans, most moderates care far less about the supposed threat of Donald Trump to the democracy. He was president before, he didn’t threaten democracy. He was actually pretty good at the job. [Americans] are much less worried about that than they are about Joe Biden wrecking the country day by day.”

Trump would really have to do something stupid to lose this race.
