(New York Post) Get your popcorn and grab a seat.
The hottest political show of the moment is one Americans haven’t seen for decades: Democrats behaving like Republicans.
Suddenly, members of the party with a recent habit of sticking together are engaged in a circular firing squad.
The insults, name-calling and nasty exchanges echo the way the GOP has squandered its House majority.
The Dem civil war involves even bigger stakes, of course, because it was sparked by President Biden’s debate debacle.
It was so bad that lawmakers and donors are growing increasingly bold in publicly demanding that Biden withdraw from the race.
In an arrogant response, the campaign blasted the “bedwetting brigade” and told complainers to get back in line if they want to beat Donald Trump.
Alas, the order to shut up isn’t working, as even some of the party’s most reliable handmaidens are abandoning ship.
CNN’s Jake Tapper, usually a full-time Trump basher, accused the White House and Biden campaign of using Orwellian tactics to silence dissent.
“There is a pattern, discernible pattern, of Democratic officials seemingly trying to convince you, the public, to not believe what you saw and what you heard with your eyes and with your ears on Thursday night,” he said of the debate he helped to moderate.
Gibberish Joe
As the whole world knows, the showdown was dominated by Biden’s stunning brain freezes and gibberish, as in “we finally beat Medicare.”
His false claim that no soldiers were killed on his watch shocked grieving Gold Star families, with at least 16 soldiers killed by hostile action in the last three years.
The face-off, which Biden demanded as a way to lift his sagging poll numbers, was a political earthquake, and its aftershocks are reshaping the presidential race.
My prediction is that the president will follow the path a politically wounded LBJ took in 1968 and drop out within a month.
