The teleprompter can be a President’s best friend or it can trip up a President. Obama handled the teleprompter with poise. Donald Trump with a teleprompter was far more effective than Donald Trump without. The teleprompter harnessed Donald Trump and allowed him to not worry too much about saying things that he would regret later. But Joe Biden, like nearly any person struggling with mental ability, has trouble reading from a moving screen.
One can view Joe Biden as a corrupt Vice President who was barely elected, yet has somehow held on to the reigns of power despite his mental struggles by sticking to Obama policies. That is plausible.
But a more conspiratorial way of viewing the Biden Presidency is to say that Barack Obama, and a whole slew of Obama former advisors knew good and well what all of the United States knows – Biden is unfit to be President due to his mental abilities. But they, along with Jill, decided that they had a perfect opportunity to manage a puppet Presidency if they could get ol’ Joe elected in during the unique pandemic basement election.
Joe Biden is actually doing extremely well handling himself, despite his struggles, teleprompter and all. But, he is much better without a teleprompter. A few cheat sheets that are not in his pockets, but taped onto the podium would be a better idea. He can handle one short press conference every few days at the right time of day when the meds do their job.
Oh, the wonders of modern medicine.
But the odds of Biden running and getting reelected are very slim. Until somebody joins the race outside of Bobby Kennedy, Kennedy should not be dismissed. If Donald Trump wins the Republican Primary, Bobby Kennedy, despite some out-of-the-box ideas, has a better chance of becoming President than did Bernie Sanders. The elephant in the room that is being ignored is Kamala Harris. So few people thought that Biden would be elected in. Kamala Harris can handle the Press and the election cycle better than Biden, and Obama would like nothing more than to have a 2nd term with a puppet Presidency.
DeSantis, Trump, Nikki Haley, and the other Republican candidates should be preparing to run against Kamala until somebody else emerges.
