It’s like the old meme: (S)He loves me; (S)He loves me not. (S)He loves me; (S)He loves me not. All news media — written, digital, news articles, commentary, TV and radio interviews — obsess over one thing: Should Biden quit? Should he not quit? Should he quit? Should he not quit? He says he won’t quit. They say he will quit. He says he won’t quit. They say he will quit. (READ MORE: The Democrats’ Faustian Bargain With Biden) An amazing way to run the final four months of a presidential race. And, oh wow, his party, his acolytes, and he all deserve it! In spades they do. The Original Democrat Plan Was Biden That was their plan, wasn’t it? We can’t discuss the economy because it went down the toilet. We can’t discuss the border because we have more than ten million recently arrived illegals here, seemingly every day, with a border so porous that terrorists now come in droves (seeking a better life?). We can’t discuss immigration, what with “undocumented” South Americans abducting, raping, and murdering females, whether 12-year-old girls or mothers of five children on a morning run. We can’t discuss the “American Dream,” what with interest rates so high that young and even middle-aged couples cannot get into the housing market while those who do own homes dare not relocate by selling them and then having to trade in a 2.75 percent mortgage for a 7.5 percent. We can’t discuss fuel, now that gasoline prices have doubled, while heating and air conditioning have gone through the roof. We can’t discuss mandates to buy electric vehicles since consumers are not switching over. We can’t discuss gas stoves, or voters will throw them at us. We can’t tell blacks that, if they don’t vote for the Big Guy, then they ain’t black. We can’t pull the Scranton Joe baloney on Pennsylvanians and Ohioans who have lost their jobs amid his war on energy. We can’t speak proudly about the Big Guy’s foreign policy experience because, on his watch, we ran out of Afghanistan with our tails between our legs, sacrificing 13 American heroes and leaving behind for the Taliban butchers innocent Afghanis who translated for us and worked with us. We can’t brag that we kept peace on the Russia-Ukraine border as Trump had done, nor that we helped Ukraine fight back powerfully. Not only did we withhold consequential weapons, but we would not allow Poland to do so either. Even so, we managed to bleed our economy by allocating over $100 billion to Zekensky.

The news reporting barely will cover any issues during the last four months of the campaign. All they will focus on will be the Trump prosecutions, the Trump convictions. Interesting how things work out. He Shouldn’t Have Opened His Mouth We law professors always teach our students that “Bad facts make bad law.” That is, elegant fact conflicts lend themselves to simple, clear judicial holdings. By contrast, complex and mixed-up lawsuits often result in courts needing to hand down judgments that cover the crazy stuff in front of them. And then, because the law needed to resolve a mess, that became a precedent for more simple cases in the future. Biden and the Democrats undertook a comprehensive strategy of warfare against Trump fought with law weapons instead of guns — hence, “lawfare.” They went after him all over the place — New York, D.C., Florida, and Georgia — and even had judicial surrogates in places like Colorado and Maine in on the scheme. So they banned Trump from ballots, accused him of an insurrection that even his haters in the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) would not touch or allege, went after him for taking documents to his home (just as Biden, who was not prosecuted, had done), and sicced two crazy local prosecutors after him. To do that, they recruited a “special counsel” who was only a private citizen, not employed by the DOJ, and they did not seek the advice and consent of the Senate. They sent a DOJ guy from D.C. to help the befuddled New York Soros DA, who lets criminals loose through revolving doors every day. They lined up a hooker and convicted embezzler as their star witnesses in one case. They got a circus clown, steeped in an adulterous affair with a married guy whom she hired at mega-bucks to prosecute in Georgia. (READ MORE: Biden’s Conspicuous Decline is a Joke — On Us) The fix was in. The news was going to be focused on Trump’s trials and convictions from July 5 through Nov. 5. Biden and the Democrats could glide to an easy victory, with Biden choosing whatever basement he likes for campaigning. And then Biden made the biggest of mistakes: he opened his mouth in public. The End of Plan B Biden had been opening his mouth and spilling out exciting fiction and phony stories for decades, virtually a Mark Twain on the stage. The fiction spewed to workers in Ohio’s and Pennsylvania’s coal industry that his dad and forebears worked in coal mines (actually, dad sold used cars). The uncle who got eaten by cannibals. How he drove 18-wheelers, saw a Pittsburgh bridge collapse, got arrested en route to Nelson Mandela, and graduated law school toward the top of his class (actually, 76th of 85). Lots of good yarns. But he never spun his yarns in front of a live audience of the millions who vote. It was always in front of a small group of Lions or Raccoons or a Ladies Auxiliary. They would lap it up. He would talk of how he is ready to take Trump out to the woodshed, how Mitt Romney would put all blacks back in chains, and how, if any black does not vote for him, then “you ain’t black.” He got so comfortable with the idea that he could safely say anything and get away with it that he did not contemplate that this time it would be live, on a stage in front of an entire country with rules assuring fairness. Yes, he often told about being a lifesaver who had encouraged children to play with his blond leg hairs, but the moderators here would not jump in to save him. Thus the end of Plan B. On one hand, the daily media are replete with the questions of the day: “Should he quit? Should he not quit? Well, really, should he quit? Or, maybe, should he not quit?” He says he won’t quit. But others say he will quit. Or they will make him quit. Still, he says he won’t quit. But they say maybe he will quit without knowing it. So he comes back and says G-d will keep him from quitting. Dr. Jill Ed.D. says he won’t quit. Kamala doesn’t care because, even if he does not quit, she becomes president if he wins. In the meantime, deeply problematic lawfare questions now are coming before the Supreme Court. Biden’s lawfare apparatus pushed the envelopes too hard, overplaying their hands. Consequently, many of their charges are moot, and others need to be relitigated and then appealed up the ladders before the trials even can begin. One by one, each trial moves toward November — and beyond. Even the one that got completed in New York is in jeopardy. Bragg and Marchan were sure they could nail at least that one before Nov. 5. Let’s see. And the days go by. The media attend more than ever before to “the signs.” They can’t avoid it anymore after covering up for decades, even during three years of a presidency. Forgotten names. Misstated facts. Historical anachronisms. At a time when they need a Democrat with stamina, they are left with a withered figure with stammer-na.
