Biden explains when, not why, he is not running

Here’s how the narrative goes:

If Joe Biden dropped out of the race because of health reasons, then he should resign because he is unfit to serve.

In his earlier notice of dropping out of the race, Biden did not cite health reasons, or any other reason. 

But, if he quits “because of the polls,” Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld said Wednesday afternoon, “then it is a coup d’etat.”

And there are a lot of dumbbells who are parroting that “thinking.”

First, a coup d’etat is defined as a sudden, violent and unlawful seizure of power from a government.

There was no violence. There was no seizure of power. The government is untouched. Biden is still president, no longer a candidate.

If dropping out because of polls is a coup, then Nikki Haley was the victim of a coup. And Bernie Sanders and Ron DeSantis, and every other also-ran politician, ever.

Coup? Another big lie. Coup poo.

It is beyond laughable that the same people who think Jan. 6 was not a coup, think this is a coup.

Interestingly, in his formal Wednesday night address, he did not say precisely about why he was dropping out. It was not health, it was not polls, just time to “pass the torch,” to newer, fresher, and younger voices.

He emphasized younger.

In his 10-minute bye-bye Biden speech, he summarized his accomplishments, his plans for the next six months, and a plea to support democracy by voting against Donald J. Trump, whom he did not mention by name.

The curtain falls on the Biden Presidency, which becomes the third political dynasty ended by Trump, following Clinton and Bush.
