Todd Blodgett opinion: BIDEN: the Disney-Inspired, ‘OZ’ Candidate?

California’s Disneyland and Florida’s Walt Disney World feature robots of all US Presidents, which look, move, and sound exactly like their human counterparts.  This fall, the Democrats have somewhat replicated this technology – called audio-animatronics – with Disneyesque simulation, in promoting their mirage-like presidential nominee.  Joe Biden also resembles ‘The Wizard of OZ’ – the well-dressed, befuddled old man, who hid behind some drapes while projecting a powerful image.  Aided by conniving minions, the codger, despite his obvious limitations, convincingly substituted image for reality – for awhile, anyway.  But the senior citizen playing Wizard was exposed when a dog pulled away the curtain.  Election 2020’s curtain comes down on November 3, but Mr. Biden’s embarrassing memory lapses – including when, during his first debate, he couldn’t recall even ONE pro-Biden law enforcement organization, when asked by President Trump – could continue to reveal him as a propped-up, Disney-like apparition.  Covid-19 has obscured widespread exposure of what many claim is Biden’s fundamental cognitive impairment.  The elitist, pro-Biden, pro-Deep State members of the Presidential Debates Commission, in changing the rules in mid-game – by decreeing that the second Trump-Biden debate be online, instead of in person – are deliberately trying to help Biden, by minimizing his exposure to live audiences.  By allowing Biden to respond to questions online, the audience won’t see the teleprompters, which will provide Biden with instantaneous, scripted responses.  US Senator Cory Booker warned that many Democrats are “concerned about Joe Biden’s ability to carry the ball all the way … without fumbling.”  While this may be Biden’s undoing, it explains why Democrats are doing everything possible to run out the clock, before Sleepy, creepy Joe is fully exposed.

On inauguration day, Biden will be 78; that’s older than Ronald Reagan – America’s oldest-ever chief executive – was, when he LEFT office.  Hence, legitimate concerns abound regarding his mental acuity.  Earlier this year, he said he’s running for the US Senate, adding, “I’ve gotta lotta – I got hairy legs, that turn, uh, blond, in the sun … so, I learned about roaches…” Biden told blacks, “if you have a problem figurin’ out whether you’re for me, or Trump, then you ain’t black.”  Vowing to ban AR-15s, he called the semi-auto gun an “AR-14” and referenced Super Tuesday as “Super Thursday”.  He said, “I think we can win back the House” [of Representatives] – which his party already controls.  Biden said he was arrested in South Africa while trying to visit Nelson Mandela – but he wasn’t.   When Biden was last on a general election ballot (2012) he told blacks that Republicans will “put y’all back in chains.”  Before that, he said he didn’t want kids being required to attend integrated public schools he described as “a racial jungle.” 

Seeing Biden trying to connect with black voters is like watching the old movie, ‘White Boys Can’t Jump’. 

In February of 2020, Biden claimed that “150 million people have been killed [by guns] since 2007.” However, the number of US gun fatalities, from 1968 to 2020, is under two million.  Biden said that as VP, he met with victims of the Parkland school shooting – but that tragedy occurred AFTER he left office.  He also falsely claimed that his late son, Beau, “was the Attorney General of the United States.”  Despite winning seven terms in the United States Senate and holding a law degree, the bewildered ex-VP even forgot the best-known line of the Declaration of Independence.  Exasperated, he finally said, “you know, the thing.”  In pitching a proposal to help women, he said, “it would put 720 million women back in the workforce.”  However, the entire US population is only 332 million.  Only Ronald Reagan ever won the White House on his third try, as Biden is attempting.  But now, it’s doubtful that Disney’s engineers will ever produce a robotic President Biden.  As the Democrats debated before Iowa’s presidential Caucuses, contender Julian Castro asked Biden, “are you forgetting, already, what you just said, two minutes ago?”   

Based on Biden’s statements at that debate, Congressman Castro was correct: Biden had, indeed, totally forgotten what he had just stated, in front of a live audience.  Yet, he presently leads in most polls.

What’s up with THAT? 

While all candidates make mistakes, Biden’s frequent slip-ups indicate a drastic, cerebral decline that’s unprecedented among presidential nominees.  The sincere concerns raised by Congressman Castro, Senator Booker and MSNBC’s correspondent Andrea Mitchell, and many others, regarding Mr. Biden’s obvious mental decline, have proven to be prescient.  However, the presidential campaign trail is no place for retakes, or a chimerical nominee.  But most Democrats apparently don’t realize that letting their geriatric, frequently flummoxed nominee venture out and about is flirting with disaster.  After all, what the late, world heavyweight boxing champ, Joe Louis, said, particularly applies to inept American  presidential nominees: “He can run, but he can’t hide.”
