I do not think so. It is not just 'our enemies' that see it --but our allies as well.
But this was well known before the last election.
I said at the time Jill should not have let him run. But I am sure the Democrats went to her and said that he was the best choice to beat Trump and the country needed him, etc.
I said at the time she should have told them: okay, but you have a couple of years to find someone else because he will not run again.
But I feel now I was wrong about that. I think she loves being First Lady more than she cares about how her husband is looked at and how his legacy may be affected. This is a very sad situation. If you have been around someone that is deteriorating like this, and you cared about them -- there is no way you let them do this.
So, now the USA is simply having a President-by-committee. Biden is simply the 'spokesman' -- when they can keep him on script. But he is not making any decisions. That is not the way the country was set up and not the way it should be run.
But again: The one smart thing Joe Biden ever did was take out the greatest insurance policy any politician ever had to make sure this never happens.
That is Kamala Harris: She’s even more despised than he is, though she’s about as coherent.
But you could very well be correct. After the election -- if he wins -- maybe they decide to do that.
The situation is that they almost guarantee a loss the next time, because I think she would try to actually make some decisions and really mess things up worse than Biden has. Then would Newsome, or anyone, really, try to run against the first female President? Or not allow her to become the first elected female President after that? There is no way possible they could try to convince her to step away at that point as a double minority -- that would be an awful look as well.
Very tricky situation, politically, to me.
