Others learn it the hard way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Joe Biden<\/strong> appears to be in the latter camp. After a scathing special counsel report this week confirmed the acceleration of the 81-year-old\u2019s mental decline \u2014 he \u200dallegedly\u200d couldn\u2019t remember when he had been vice president or\u2062 when his late son Beau died \u2014 Biden held an impromptu\u200b press conference on Thursday night to combat the \u2063allegations.<\/p>\n<p>The result \u200bwas\u2064 that he proved \u200cthem right. He trailed off and seemingly forgot the name of the parish associated with a rosary that \u2064once belonged to his son, confused the president\u2063 of Egypt with the president of Mexico, \u2062and hit\u200c reporters \u2064with bizarre and disjointed answers. Granted,\u200b Biden isn\u2019t exactly \u2064used to staying up past 8 p.m., let \u200dalone taking unvetted questions from the press, but the conference \u200bmade\u2064 clear that Biden simply is not\u2062 up for another five years in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>And his \u2062own party knows it.<\/p>\n<h3>The Justice \u2064Department continues to protect Biden legally.<\/h3>\n<p>After all, the only reason the\u200d problems\u200d with \u200chis memory were referenced in special counsel Robert Hur\u2019s report was as an excuse for the DOJ not to prosecute Biden for mishandling classified information \u2014 a crime\u200c that Hur\u2019s report demonstrates he clearly \u2062committed and a crime for which the DOJ\u200d is also prosecuting Biden\u2019s top\u200b political rival, former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But the report was also a clear message that the DOJ and the Democratic establishment it represents are no\u200b longer \u2062willing to protect Biden\u200c politically. Hur surely could have found \u200dsome other legal excuse for refusing to apply the law to \u200dBiden. And Attorney General Merrick\u2063 Garland did not have\u200d to make the findings of Hur\u2019s report public. \u200bIt is not a far reach to \u2063assume that both decisions\u200d were calculated.<\/p>\n<p>If there is one thing we know about the Democratic Party, it is not to underestimate its commitment to maintaining power. The \u2062Democratic\u2064 establishment doesn\u2019t care about reelecting Biden. It only cares \u2064about preventing Trump from being elected. The \u2063person at the top of the Democratic ticket simply does not matter outside of his \u2062usefulness to\u2062 the \u2064party\u200c in helping make that happen.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: The\u200c only reason Biden is \u200bin the White House\u2064 at all is because the Democratic\u200b Party made \u2063a similar calculation back in 2020, \u200cwhen it decided \u200dthat \u200dBiden was\u200c the best\u200d chance at beating Trump\u200d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/impossible-gop-picked-up-seats-in-house-picked-up-state-legislatures-picked-up-governorship-held-the-senate-but-sniffy-joe-won-not-a-chance\/\" title=\"IMPOSSIBLE: GOP Picked Up Seats in House, Picked Up State Legislatures, Picked Up Governorship, Held the Senate -- But Sniffy Joe Won?... NOT A CHANCE\">general election<\/a>. There were other Democratic candidates in the race, such as Sen. Amy \u2062Klobuchar (D-MN) and\u200d Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who were polling better than Biden in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iowa-gov-kim-reynolds-to-endorse-ron-desantis-in-2024-presidential-race\/\" title=\"Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds backs Ron DeSantis for 2024 presidency.\">key \u2064primary states<\/a>. But those candidates were pressured to drop out and rally behind Biden \u2014 not because Biden was some great, inspiring candidate but because he was considered the more viable option.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/op-eds\/biden-is-a-liability-for-democrats\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE \u200cFROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well, now the polls \u2063show that Biden has lost whatever general \u200delection appeal he\u2064 might have had. He has been behind Trump in all of\u2062 the battleground states for weeks, and his approval ratings \u2062show no sign \u2062of recovery. And his continued gaffes and blunders will only exacerbate \u2063voters\u2019 top concern about \u2063him: that he\u2019s not fit to do the job. \u200bIn\u200c short, Biden has become a liability.<\/p>\n<p>Whether \u2063the Democratic\u2064 establishment succeeds in pushing him aside is another\u2062 question. But there is no doubt \u2064at this \u200dpoint that it wants to. \u200cIf Biden were smart, he\u2019d bow out now while he has some dignity left.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200b How has Biden&#8217;s mental decline \u200daffected the Democratic Party&#8217;s view of him as \u2064a\u2063 leader?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  G to prosecute Biden,\u200b but he specifically highlighted the issue of his\u200d mental decline as a reason for not \u200bpursuing\u2064 charges. This \u2063sends a signal that Biden&#8217;s own party recognizes his limitations and is \u200bready to move on.<\/p>\n<p>However, this doesn&#8217;t mean that Biden&#8217;s presidency is doomed. In fact, it presents an \u200dopportunity for the Democratic Party to \u2063reassess its leadership and make necessary adjustments. It is crucial for \u200bany political party to have a strong and\u200d capable leader, especially when facing challenges on both domestic and international \u200cfronts.<\/p>\n<p>It \u200dis \u200bclear that Biden&#8217;s mental decline is no longer something that can be ignored or brushed aside. The American people deserve a leader who\u200c is sharp, mentally present, and capable\u2063 of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-poisoned-the-world-why-is-chinese-covid-propaganda-allowed-on-twitter\/\" title=\"\u2018U.S. Poisoned The World\u2019: Why Is Chinese COVID Propaganda Allowed On Twitter?\">making informed decisions<\/a>. While Biden has had a long and distinguished career in politics, \u200cit \u2064is time for him \u2062to acknowledge his \u200dlimitations and pass the torch to someone who is better\u2064 equipped to handle the demands of\u200d the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a call for age discrimination or \u200ban \u200dattack on Biden personally. It is simply\u200d a recognition that everyone in politics is expendable,\u200b regardless of their past achievements \u200bor \u2062contributions. The nature\u2064 of politics is\u200d such that leaders come\u200d and go, and it is\u200c important for the sake of \u2064the country and its citizens that\u200c the right leaders are in place at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>In \u2064the case of Biden, his decline in mental acuity should be a wake-up call for\u200c the Democratic Party. They need to assess their options and consider who would \u2062be \u2064the best candidate to lead \u200cthem moving forward. It is crucial that they have a \u2063leader who can not only unite\u200d the party but also inspire the American people and \u200beffectively address the pressing issues \u200cof our time.<\/p>\n<p>The responsibility now falls on the Democratic Party \u200cto ensure a smooth transition of power, whether it be through a change in leadership \u200bwithin the Biden administration or the selection of a new\u200b candidate for \u2062future elections. It is not an\u200c easy task, but\u200b it is an essential one.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the\u2062 lesson to be \u200clearned from Biden&#8217;s situation is that no one is above the demands of politics. Even the \u2063most powerful figures can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-plans-to-ask-fbi-director-christopher-wray-to-correct-his-testimony\/\" title=\"House GOP to request FBI Director Christopher Wray to 'rectify his testimony'.\">held\u200b accountable<\/a> for\u2064 their actions and their ability to effectively lead. It is important for politicians to recognize\u2064 when\u2064 it is\u200c time to \u200cstep \u2062aside and allow new voices and fresh perspectives to take center stage.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2064 conclusion, \u2064everyone in\u200d politics is\u200b indeed expendable. It is crucial for\u2063 political leaders to recognize their limitations \u2063and make way\u2062 for new leadership when necessary. This is not a weakness, \u2062but a strength of\u2063 our democratic system. It ensures\u200d that our government remains dynamic, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of\u2064 the\u200c people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone in politics is replaceable.
