The Democratic Party’s rush to anoint Biden as their nominee might as well be a comedy show. The National Review’s Jim Geraghty clearly picked up on this frenzy and wasn’t shy about pointing out the absurdity of it all. One has to wonder if the Democrats are enrolling in a masterclass on desperation.
In their frantic bid to fast-track Biden’s nomination, Democrats seem to gloss over a simple fact: Biden’s performance hasn’t rivaled Washington or Lincoln. The party treats this like a season finale of a reality TV show, desperately hoping no one changes the channel. But while they’re busy with their theatrics, the rest of the country is left scratching their heads over why he’s their best pick.

The comical sense of urgency hints at a deeper issue within the party — perhaps an acknowledgment that there aren’t stronger contenders in their arsenal. It’s like watching a sports team celebrate a tie game; it suggests they know full well that winning outright was never really in the cards. The Democrats have an entire roster, yet they’re hanging their hopes on the old quarterback who fumbles half the plays.
Meanwhile, the conservative base is enjoying the spectacle. Watching the Democrats scramble is like munching on popcorn during an over-the-top soap opera. One can almost hear the chuckles across conservative America as the left ties itself in knots, all to ensure Biden’s name sits at the top of the ticket.
In the end, the Democrats’ act of cobbling together a hasty coronation for Biden may very well end up backfiring. Let’s be honest: if the best strategy they have involves rushing a candidate with questionable credentials to the forefront, it speaks volumes about their overall bench strength. The conservative crowd is well aware: when your opponent is making a mistake, don’t interrupt.
