In 2014, a reporter asked Joe Biden what he would tell people who wonder if he has the capacity to be president.
“I think it’s totally legitimate for people to raise it.” Biden said. “And I’ll just say, ‘Look at me. Decide.’”
OK Joe, let's take a look!
Joe Biden’s first debate performance was so bad, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said it “raised some questions” about his “capacity”
After the second debate, Vanity Fair said Joe Biden “stammered, evaded, and wilted. He allowed himself to get flummoxed by Bill de Blasio, which is like allowing your car to get bested by a Pinto.”
Joe Biden is not playing with a full deck, folks
The Washington Post says today that "It might also be time to question some long-held assurances Democrats have apparently had about Biden’s superior electability." washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…

Here's what you need to know ahead of Kamala's border drop-in today.
After manufacturing the worst border crisis in history, and ignoring the issue for 1,190 days, she wants to play hero — but it's really all about politics.
Here are the FACTS.
🧵 THREAD:
Kamala will claim illegal border crossings are "down."
In March 2021, Kamala was crowned "border czar" and illegal border crossings went one way: UP. The average number of illegal border crossings each month has nearly tripled under Kamala (196K/mo) over President Trump (50K/mo).
The number of illegals released into the country went from two-digit monthly releases under President Trump to five- and six-digit monthly releases under Kamala — and that doesn't include the illegals she ferried in through her phone app and migrant flights.
In fact, Kamala has failed to remove 99.7% of illegals released into the country's interior — and experts say they're likely here to say "indefinitely, if not forever."
Kamala will argue for "setting rules at the border and enforcing them."
That's total BS. Kamala *admitted* her policy was to "undo" President Trump's successful border security — and she made good on it.
One day one, Kamala terminated almost every Trump border security policy by halting the border wall, suspending deportations, terminating 'Remain in Mexico,' implementing catch-and-release, and much more.
There couldn't be more of a difference between the economic records of President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris.
Americans were BETTER OFF under President Trump — and the proof is in the numbers.
🧵 THREAD:
GAS PRICES:
— Under President Trump, the national average for regular gas NEVER rose above $3/gallon. Under Kamala, it has been above $3/gallon for 1,229 days in a row — or 92% of her term.
— Under Trump, gas prices averaged $2.48/gallon. Under Kamala, gas prices have averaged $3.49/gallon, or more than a dollar higher.
— Under President Trump, gas prices fell below $1/gallon in 13 states. Under Kamala, gas prices hit new record highs in ALL 50 states.
HOUSEHOLD INCOMES:
— In President Trump's first three years, Americans saw a 10.5% boost ($7,690) in median household income — seven times larger than the 1.3% increase ($1,050) after the first three years of Kamala.
— Under President Trump, Black Americans saw a 9.2% increase ($4,540) — nearly twice as high as the increase under Kamala ($2,650).
— Under President Trump, Hispanic Americans saw an 11.7% increase ($6,960) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($700).
— Under President Trump, Asian Americans saw a 14.4% increase ($14,600) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($1,500).
— Under President Trump, White Americans saw a 10.8% increase ($8,320) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($830).
MAKE NO MISTAKE: The would-be assassin of President Trump was egged on by the incendiary rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.
🧵 THREAD:
Kamala Harris (repeatedly):
"Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms."
