California gubernatorial nominee Brian Dahle (R) attempted to make a joke about Joe Biden at Sunday's debate against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).

Great debate moments.
One out-of-the-ordinary moment came when Dahle was asked whether Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election.
“He did win the election, but the big question is does he know that. That’s what I wonder sometimes,” Dahle said.
It was very clearly a “Joe Biden is senile” quip, and moderator Scott Shafer of KQED pressed Dahle to say as much directly. After Dahle said, “I wonder sometimes if he actually realizes that he’s president of the United States,” Newsom jumped in to defend Biden’s honor.
“Of course he recognizes it,” Newsom said. “You’re insulting the president of the United States. Of course he understands he’s president of the United States.”
Weak, really weak. Unless Newsom is deliberately undermining Biden, that’s a really poor defense, heavy on the faux outrage and low on the actual credibility scale.
Newsom is a weak candidate and a weak debater who leaned heavily on prescripted smash mouth rants that were meant to make him look tough and like a contender, but when faced with unexpected responses outside the lefty echo chamber, Newsom comes apart like a cheap rug on his head. Not a good look for the naked emperor who would be president.

Funny, I was just thinking about the Naked Emperor story last night 🙂

That’s funny, Dems like Newsom had no problem suggesting Reagan was a senile old guy even though he was always substantially more aware of things around him than Biden.

Alzheimer Joe got lost on the White House lawn again yesterday. In front of the huge White House. And he was so confused he said “why did I walk that way?” And Dirtbagocrat scum are OK with that.

You’re getting next level to see that as an attack, yes very effective if he planned it out. The gaslighting, who, in a question of which president stole an election and might be senile” might it be? Perhaps the president of Budweiser. He got him to look weak by not throwing it back in his face, like, “you know what you’re governor of?” And he just responded to the manipulation with it, really milked it. It’s the kind of defense that a senile like Biden and his faggy cohorts will praise and everyone else will laugh at and he makes him look weak (while looking like a manipulative psychopath liar).
truebearing says
Biden is too senile to know what senile means and Newsom doth protest too much. He sounds like he’s having some early onset problems with senility, or is that just run of the mill stupidity?
truebearing says
Oh, I almost forgot…and once again the Republicans take the field with yet another witless candidate who can bend over backward and apologetically lick his own boots.
Jeff Bargholz says
Dahle? Yeah, he seems like a real loser. He wrote a good candidate statement in the voter info guide…….and Newscum is so arrogant he didn’t even write one! And Dahle should’ve ridiculed Newscum for denying Alzheimer Joe’s dementia.
There’s a guy running for Mayor here in San Jose named Mike Mahan who’s a good candidate and his opponent is a real piece of shit named Cindy Chavez so maybe I’ll have a good local election. How anybody can vote for an utter failure like Newscum is beyond me. He’s f’ed up CA as badly as the Beijing Biden administration has f’ed up the whole country.

Jeff:
Are you getting email notices when someone responds to you? I haven’t gotten one since this new format showed up. I constantly have to check and see if anyone responded. Very frustrating.
Also there seems to be no way to edit a comment. Possibly the worst comment platform ever.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Still a work in progress I think. Maybe they will add those features later.
Jeff Bargholz says
No, I don’t get email notices. It is annoying not being able to edit. It may be possible to get notices, though. I haven’t tried.
Jeff Bargholz says
Newscum sure does lie stupidly. At this point, no rational person can deny Alzheimer Joe’s dementia. That’s like denying his administration has ruined the country. It just can’t be done rationally.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, that struck me as a really stupid lie. Maybe pre-scripted, designed to fool the low information Democrat voters.
Algorithmic Analyst says
It could be some pre-scripted line they came up with before the debate.

Of course we are insulting the occupant in the White House – that is our right. LeftTwats hate when we exercise our rights

America really needs to start studying Moliere plays in school so they can have a point of reference for this. I can write at least a few hour play with just these 29 seconds in his style.
