The Chair of the Florida Democratic Party has no concerns about how the octogenarian President of the United States will handle himself in Thursday’s debate on CNN.
Nikki Fried said Joe Biden would acquit himself well against Donald Trump, who is just a few years younger than the current President.
In a press availability, she dismissed concerns about the President’s age and comportment, including allegations that he freezes up at events ranging from a White House Juneteenth Celebration to a fundraiser with Barack Obama. (The White House denies the latter incident happened as conservative media frames it.)
“As the President has said multiple times, he has acquired more wisdom and has more experience than any President who has come before him. That wisdom and experience and expertise has delivered real results for the American people,” Fried contended
She then listed some legislative accomplishments before engaging the heart of the question, including why the President has spent the last week preparing for the debate.
“On the stage, President Biden is ready for Thursday. As somebody who has been on that debate stage, it takes time to prep. Not only to make sure that you understand that the issues that are going to come up and make sure that you are prepared to answer all of the insane attacks that we know that Trump is going to bring on to the debate stage. Prep takes time no matter who you are, no matter how many times that you’ve debated.”
She then expressed confidence in his performance Thursday.
“It is something that it is the part of the tradition of American politics, American democracy and I have no doubt that President Biden is going to walk on to that debate stage and be Joe,” Fried continued.
“(He will) be the person that we all fell in love with so many decades ago, the person who wakes up every single day fighting for the American people and all of the accomplish accomplishments over the last 3 1/2 years and of course, over his lifetime of public service to the American people on his accomplishments.”
Evan Power, the Chair of the Republican Party of Florida, isn’t convinced that the President is fully competent, meanwhile.
“Biden is clearly not of sound mind to lead as evidenced by recent events and the fact that he needs to hide from the public for a week in order to do a 90-minute debate,” the RPOF Chair told Florida Politics on Wednesday morning.
Beyond questions of how well the President will perform against Trump, both Chairs agreed that the debate on CNN will show voters that there is indeed a profound choice on the November ballot.
Power sees the debate as “a stark contrast between two competing visions for the country.”
“Joe Biden’s stagnant, disastrous, and radical approach to governing has left this country weaker less safe while the world is on fire,” Power said.
“The American people are fed up with the wide-open border, surging prices on basic goods, failed foreign policy, and a weaponized judicial system. Under President Trump, our border was secure, the economy boomed for everyone, and the world was at peace. Despite the Florida Democrat Party’s attempts to spin, the facts are clear: We need a return to effective leadership, we need President Trump back in the White House!”
Fried, meanwhile, argues that Biden will expose Trump.
“Voters in Florida and across the country will see a clear contrast between the leadership of President Biden and the chaos that is caused by Donald Trump in this election,” Fried said.
“The choice is clear. It’s Donald Trump or it’s democracy. It’s a choice between a good and decent man or a convicted felon. It’s a choice between someone who will protect the freedoms we have fought for or someone who is directly responsible for taking them away. Tomorrow night, we expect President Biden to make the stakes of this election crystal clear.”

Nikki is definitely the head zombie of Florida. Maybe she should take a cognitive test as well if she believes there is nothing wrong with Slo Joe.

What sort of IV’s do they have Joe hooked up to? What’s the odds of Tapper and Bash of already forwarding the questions to the Joe Biden team? Why does he need one week to prep for this? What say the zombies?

FACT: Weed is the least dangerous to the user (and others) than any other substances maligned in law — especially booze.

About the danger of weed to one’s physical health, I agree. Not saying it’s ‘safe’ just very small physical danger.
However, it does make its users dumber than doorknobs. Yeah, yeah, they say it makes them mellow & helps them contemplate the universe. So let me quote TJC; “Bullshit!”

Voting against Trump is a vote for a steady hand continuation in Washington. Really there is no better candidate than President Biden. As the votes from yesterday’s primaries indicate…..Americans are prepared to vote for moderate middle of the road candidates. Extremism has never been favored in American politics. Independent voters will be voting for Biden. Trump has no experience with success in politics or business.

Lots of presidents have “steady hands” Most in fact, but most notably the ones that are dead & buried. You know the ones that now vote Democrat (whether they want to or not).

Trump owns a 757 that he uses as his private jet. He is a wealthy man with real estate holdings around the world. He made his money in the private sector. Biden and his buddy Schumer have never worked in the private sector. They are life long government workers that made their money using political influence. All of Biden’s family members are wealthy because of Joe’s influence. There is no proof at all that either one of this gentleman could run a business.

Donald Trump has declared bankruptcy six times at the expense of the American taxpayer. He’s a horribly inadequate businessman and a worse candidate!

He inherited everything. Everything. He lost more than he inherited.
Being rich does not = smart. Public service is vastly different – a dedication and a calling. Trump is in it for himself – no respect for ethics, history, or the oath to the Constitution. Not even man enough to admit he lost an election. Zero integrity. He laughs at people like you. Anyone who believes he’s for the little guy is delusional.

Trump won’t be allowed to wander around the debate stage this time. That should help his focus.

Will Sleepy Joe be drug tested prior to the debate?
We’ve all seen the effects of his age related dementia on too many occasions.
Are we supposed to believe it’s really him if he pulls a Willy Wonka by coming out and tripping into a forward roll? Because it he’s actually fit then why is he so often seen in a perpetual stupor?

Trump or his miserable right wingnut cronies do not get to decide debate protocol. The candidates either have the requisite knowledge and skills to answer specific difficult questions OR THEY DON’T!

Would Slo Joe and his staff ever agree to a debate hosted by Bret Baier, or any other from that news station? You and I know the answer. Joe will be completely protected by the official propaganda arm (CNN) of the Democratic Party.

I’m hoping Trump gets foaming-in-the-mouth deranged–screaming over his muted mike–and storms out mid way.
Then posts all night that is was all RIGGED.

90 minutes is too long for Trump to stay on topic. Maybe he’ll do the schtick about alligators and sinking boats with batteries that electrocute.

MH, Do you think Joe can stand up that long? Joe is gonna come out super buzzed with the special elixir concocted by “Dr Feelgood”. They will probably be feeding it to him intreveniously through a hidden tube. Joe is so far gone, only the zombies ignore it

It seems the Magadonions are already admitting Trump loses the debate..it hasn’t even happened. It’s rigged, it’s rigged, it’s rigged, Joe’s on drugs, Joe’s got the questions, moderators hate Trump.. methinks Trumps minions have no faith in their dog. Sorry, but you know Trump will fail as always.. you might as well just chill out with a soon to be legal blunt and watch the show.

Hello there fake scientist Rebekah Jones. Of course this thing is rigged. It’s being run by two moderators that hate Donald Trump like you. Slo Joe would never ever agree to a debate hosted by people from Fox and that is the fact. Tell me Ms Fake Scientist why does Joe have to disappear for one week to prepare for this? What kind of juice is Joe getting? Did he already receive the questions from Trump hating Bash and Tapper? By the way we miss you at the Pike House.🤣

Jared Kushner got a $2 billion line of credit from his friend in Saudi, MGS.
Hunter is said to have earned $10 million for his company Burisma.
Despite all their grandstanding, Gym Jordan and MGT were unable to show any proof Joe Biden profited by, or was aware of, Hunter’s activities which occurred after Joe was no longer VP.
But, go ahead, there’s a sucker born every minute — someone once said.

Good morning Nikki Fried. Do you still say Joe doesn’t have cognition issues? An absolute disaster last night. The Biden Titanic is taking on water now. It is scary to think that the lifeboat is captained by Ka Mana Wana.
