Show Me the Money. Biden’s Problems Are Not Limited to Press and Polls.

You probably don’t need to read more about Joe Biden’s problems these days. He’s clearly suffering from dementia in some form. I’m not a doctor, but like many, I’ve had to deal with the declining cognitive ability of others in certain situations, and I know it when I see it.

He’s also a physical wreck with a stiff gait and a rigid stare into the middle distance. He wears oversized orthopedic shoes to keep him from tripping up and down stairs, which he has done many times. No one takes pleasure in these observations.

Candidly, it’s sad. His family should intervene for his own good, but they seem to be more interested in the perks of power and refuse to do the right thing. If Biden were not president, and if he had a family that cared, they would have moved in court to appoint a legal guardian long ago. He’s that far gone.

All of which has put pressure on Biden to drop out of the presidential race. He probably should for the good of his party. He should also consider resigning as president for the good of the country. So far, Biden refuses to do either of those things.

He says he’s “in it to win it” and is the only one who can beat Trump. The polls, betting odds, and pundits all say the opposite, but Biden seems oblivious to all of that. The real problem is that Biden is so far gone he doesn’t even know how far gone he is. He’s isolated by family and a few staff members and no one else can cross the moat.

What could stop Biden from going down this reckless path? Some members of Congress have called on Biden to step down, but he dismissed them as “elites.” He positions himself as somehow the man of the people, even though Biden has been in high office for 50 years. The media turned on him (like rats deserting a sinking ship), but Biden quickly found some friendly shows to prop him up.

If his family, the politicians and press can’t persuade him, what will? The answer is money.

The big donors to the Democrats, the kind who give $10 million donations (or more) are putting their checkbooks away. These people are media moguls, tech billionaires, celebrities and big-time property developers. When they refuse to give money to Biden, they are also hurting the down ballot races from senators to House members to governors.

Politicians are notorious for saying “Show me the money.” For now, big donors have an answer: “Just say no.”
