On Morning Joe, commenting on Biden's disastrous debate performance, Joe Scarborough suggests that, just as Barry Goldwater told Richard Nixon during Watergate that it was "over," and he had to resign the presidency, Dems need to tell Biden that he needs to drop out of the race.

Friday’s CNN This Morning attempted to make sense of President Biden’s porous performance in the network’s presidential debate on Thursday night with varying doses of cope, excuses, and even conceding reality.

Et tu, Elon? X restricted one of former President Donald Trump’s campaign accounts during the CNN 2024 presidential debate Thursday.

Jon Stewart was greatly distressed following the Thursday debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

While it was obvious to all that President Biden’s debate performance Thursday night was an unmitigated disaster that had Democrats scrambling behind the scenes for a new candidate, it wasn’t for CNN’s lack of skewing the debate questions in Biden’s favor.

There was no question about President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance during the first 2024 presidential debate, Thursday night on CNN. Even NBC political director Chuck Todd could not hide his disgust and declared that the President looked like a conservative media “caricature.”

Following the first 2024 Presidential Debate, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) had very little to say in President Joe Biden’s favor. The post-debate coverage emphasized what was obvious to all viewers, specifically that the night was a disaster for Biden’s campaign.

Less than a minute after the presidential debate concluded, the panel at MSNBC launched into a despondent, funereal analysis of President Joe Biden’s unexpectedly (at least for the MSNBC panel) brutal performance. 

The liberal media was finally forced to admit that the senile president wasn’t wearing clothes following Thursday’s presidential debate hosted by CNN.
