Mess



Obama warned Biden aides his presidential campaign was a ‘mess’

Barack Obama warned Joe Biden’s senior staff “your campaign is a mess” a year before the 2024 presidential election, according to a new book...

Mr Obama is said to have also raised concerns over his former vice-president’s strategy seven months before the Atlanta debate.



There's a reason for the mess, it wasn't the campaign and it wasn't strategy, it was the candidate and the whole world knows it. 

And yet... 

The mind still boggles at what Team Biden thought it was doing -


Mr Biden was also urged to take part in the disastrous early debate against Mr Trump by his aides, according to a memo obtained by the book’s authors.

“The earlier you are able to debate the better, so that the American people can see you standing next to Trump and showing the strength of your leadership, compared to Trump’s weakness and chaos,” the senior advisers wrote in an April 15 memo published by Politico.

I guess they thought they were still in "You can fool all of the people some of the time" phase.

DJ - it seems weird to carry on regardless, but that's what we do when the inertia of a situation allows nothing better.
