So the 2024 presidential campaign has come down to this: From Joe Biden to congressional Democrats to the liberal media lapdogs, Democrats continue to demonstrate via TDS-riddled rhetoric that they believe Biden's only path to victory in November is to focus on trashing — and lying about — Donald Trump.
It's not going to work this time.
One of the best weekend examples of the above occurred on CNN's "The Chris Wallace Show" on Saturday (I know; you're shocked) when the roundtable discussion focused on how Biden can in effect rise from the ashes and pull off what we can fairly say at this point would be an upset win over the former President.
Wallace gleefully trotted out the Democrat's latest talking point "gaining currency among pundits, 'Trump amnesia,' the idea that a lot of people (Trump supporters) just forget all the things that happened in his four years in office."
Memo to Wallace: "A lot of people" — like you and your liberal media comrades — "just forget" the disastrous Biden presidency that is continuing as we speak, so please.
During a discussion about the evils of Trump, panel regular and former Wall Street Journal reporter Kara Swisher said Biden should do the following (emphasis, mine).
In that regard, if he's going to be shameless, which is his greatest asset, the shamelessness of him, then Biden has to get in there very hard and go "rapist, racist, fascist," over and over and over again. And then the trials are happening at the same time. He's just had to pay — he's just $93 million poorer right now, and just hammer it in with those three things —"rapist, racist, fascist."
In other words, just get down and dirty and make the presidential election about mud-slinging rather than Biden's record and policies vs. Trump's proposals. The arrogance reeks of a disdain for America's voters.

Absurdly, Swisher rated Biden's State of the Union speech a nine (out of ten).
A nine because I think he did what he was supposed to do. The GOP had set the bar at "corpse," and therefore, he looked fantastic.
Swisher's assessment was fairly correct.
Many Republicans did set the bar at somewhere near minus-zero, and although Biden angrily screamed and spewed dozens of lies throughout the speech, he at least did well enough to allow the Democrats and their lapdog media to spin his pathetic performance into "fiery" and "bold" — for the sole consumption of Democrat voters.
The Bottom Line
As I neared the end of this article, I thought about a comparable situation in a job interview.
Imagine, during an interview for a job you really want, instead of confidently talking about your credentials, past accomplishments, and what you think you can bring to the job, you spend the entire interview trashing the person you hope to replace.
Does that sound smart? Neither do Joe Biden and the liberal media sock puppets.
