An Editorial Opinion
The first presidential debate is over. It was a complete disaster for President Joe Biden!
Democrats, I warned you that Joe Biden’s time in Washington has come and gone. You ignored my numerous prior warnings.
During Thursday night’s president debate, Americans saw for themselves that Biden is not mentally or physically fit to serve another four years as President of the United States.
Democrats, you must dump Joe Biden now and draft a presidential nominee who has a reasonable chance to defeat Donald Trump. That nominee cannot be Vice President Kamala Harris. Her approval ratings are lower than Biden’s.
I am a California-based registered independent voter. Presently, I am not committed to any presidential nominee. I will make not my decision on who to support for president until after Labor Day.
I am also part of a tight circle of friends, entrepreneurs, and independent voters in California who plan to donate up to $75 million to a Super-PAC affiliated with the presidential nominee of our choice after we caucus in September. All of us are uncommitted voters at this juncture.
I can tell you now that Joe Biden will NOT be getting this Super-PAC money! He simply cannot win! We have absolutely no interest in being politically wedded to a "loser."
For the record, here are some of my many prior warnings about Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental and physical condition:

Barring "Divine Intervention," Donald Trump will win the presidency in November if Joe Biden continues as the Democrats' nominee for president. I know it, and now the whole world knows it.
Democrats, Michelle Obama can defeat Donald Trump. Everybody knows who she is. She already knows the policy issues and the national campaign trial. She can get all of the funding and media time she needs to win. Michelle Obama is the answer to your self-inflicted mess. Draft her at your convention! Nobody else can defeat Trump.
Democrats are in a mess of their own making. As an independent voter, I make my own political decisions. I am NOT living and working on any major party's political plantation. Likewise, I am NOT riding the Titantic all the way down to the bottom of the political ocean. It's NOT too late for Democrats to get another presidential nominee who can beat Donald Trump. There is still time to defeat Trump, but NOT with the Biden-Harris ticket. Given how weak, impotent, and unrespected today's black elected officials are, I have to represent my own political interests.
It may be too late for Democrats to find an a suitable candidate in place of Joe Biden for November 2024 general election. Furthermore, I've seen weak performances by candidates at debate forums and watched them go on to win the election. Barack Obama's first debate with Mit Romery in 2012 was weak, but he was reelected in the fall.
I must confess that President Biden struggled somewhat at Thursday's debate, though I think it's too early to suggest his bid for reelection this fall is doomed based on Thursday night performance. No matter how difficult for him at times to express himself resulting from speech delay and stammering, or ineptness, I believe his accomplishments over the past four year…
