Let's be blunt: This is shaping up to be arguably the worst seven days for the Democratic Party and its media allies of our lifetimes. It's a DefCon 1 level of panic throughout the party as Democrats process that, if the presidential election were held today, Donald Trump would win in a landslide.
A slack-jawed, oftentimes confused and incoherent President Biden hijacking the biggest night of this campaign season in the worst way possible. Concern about the president's age and mental acuity - or lack thereof - was already the No. 1 challenge facing his candidacy.
On Friday morning, all of The New York Times' top columnists went on record with calls for Biden to step aside, as did its editorial board. That's significant, considering that this same publication hasn't endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Dwight D. Eisenhower back in 1956.
Moments after the debate ended, Van Jones on CNN openly called on Biden to exit the campaign, while MSNBC's Joe Scarborough asked on air if any Fortune 500 company would ever consider hiring Biden as its CEO. Recently, Scarborough declared Biden was sharper than any GOP House member he's spoken to in the past 30 years.
