A Presidential debate is similar to individual sports events, where one major mistake can result in a loss. Jeffrey Julmis's dramatic fall on the first hurdle in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games gathered millions of views on YouTube. To everyone's surprise, President Ford announced in a Presidential debate that Eastern Europe was not under the control of the USSR.  Jeffrey Julmis and Gerald Ford both lost their races.

President Biden's debate performance did not suffer from one major mistake but exposed the truth that Joe Biden no longer had the mental acuity to drive a car, let alone lead a country (why Special Council Hur did not pursue charges against Joe Biden). Had this been a boxing match, his coach would have thrown in the towel, but Joe Biden is the President, which would have thrown the country into a constitutional crisis. Would Congress then be forced to remove President Biden from office per the Twenty-fifth Amendment? Does anyone want Kamala Harris as President? Who will be the Democrat Nominee for President?

What do you think comes to mind?

The first and last thing my jumpmaster (skydiving) trainer told me about malfunctions was to have a backup plan. If you could land with a broken leg or two, ride it out. But if survival is at stake, break away from the main chute and pull the reserve chute. That sounds great, but do you know what to do if the reserve chute does not open? You have twenty seconds to gather the chute, fluff it up, and throw it out to catch the air. Do this until it catches air and slows you down, or you hit the ground. I was glad the ground in western Oregon was muddy and soft.

Democrats must ask themselves, just how bad of shape is Biden in? At best, they lose the 2024 presidential election, but in 2028, it is an open race, and they are still in good shape to win the down-ballot races in 2024. At worst, Biden will lose and drag down almost every down-ballot election, losing the Senate and more House seats. I expect a lot of polling in the next few weeks to determine how bad the damage was from the debate.

If the Presidency is at risk, I expect they will stay with Joe Biden. However, if the Presidency, the Senate, and more seats in the House are at risk, will they break away from Joe Biden? Currently, Joe Biden still has critical support in the Democratic Party, which includes Obama and Newsom.

Is Joe Biden capable of making the most challenging decision in his life? In my October 2021 article in the American Thinker, "How does Biden stack up against a list of Alzheimer's symptoms'. The CDC states, "People with one or more of these warning signs should see a doctor to find the cause." The article provided evidence that President Biden exhibited nine of the ten symptoms listed by the CDC. Joe Biden's condition may lead him to believe he won the debate and, thus, no reason to withdraw from the election.

If they break away from Joe Biden, who is waiting in reserve? I will not list the individuals and their strengths and weaknesses because there is already enough speculation. My only comment is this: I cannot recall when a Republican outraised and outspent a Democrat Presidential candidate by a wide margin. Although the candidate's financial statements have not been released, I expect Trump has surpassed Biden/Harris's financial strength or is close to even. Now, Biden/Harris has one hundred and ninety million dollars, which can only be spent for Biden/Harris or Harris for President. If the Democrats break away from Biden and do not choose Harris, they will be behind Trump by half a billion dollars.

The terminal velocity of a parachutist hurling to earth is 120 mph, and it only takes 20-30 seconds to hit the ground. That is slow compared to the days of the Democratic National Convention, August 19, 2024. Have you ever seen a photo of a skydiving accident? The crowd is either watching or looking away. I am considering obtaining a press pass and attending the Democratic National Convention.

President Biden's performance did not just uncover the state of Joe Biden's mental acuity.

When the nation's Democrats contrast Joe Biden's performance at the State of the Union when he read from a teleprompter with his performance at the Presidential Debate without someone writing his words to read, they will wonder, like Conservatives, Just Who is Running the Country?

Conservatives already knew Joe Biden was unfit for office. But the nation's Democrats still tuned into mainstream media, and they were told Joe Biden was OK and it was just "Cheap Fakes." Everyone now understands that the mainstream media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party and the Elites of the Country.

The world's dictators know that Joe Biden is frozen in the past and cannot deal with the present. Now, all Americans can see why the world has become much more dangerous. To the world's dictators, a change of President is coming, and there will be consequences.
