Could Joe Biden Debate Vivek Ramaswamy In A Presidential Debate?

 No. 

If we reach October 2024, and Ramaswamy is the Republican candidate (not Trump or DeSantis).....the last thing on Earth that Biden could walk into....is a debate with Ramaswamy.  

Even if you used NPR or CNN people.....Ramaswamy is probably capable of taking Biden AND the moderator on at the same time.  

I'm not saying Ramaswamy is a great politician (he's not), but at debate skills.....there's probably fewer than five House/Senate members existing today that can debate at his level.

The fact that probably one-third of all Republicans in DC....won't saddle-up with the Ramaswamy agenda?  Yeah, that's a problem as well.  Finding people to be in his cabinet to be a problem?  Yeah, there's that issue as well.

But to imagine two debates (Biden versus Ramaswamy)....it just won't be entertaining to watch Biden bumble around and give confusing answers.  

I might even go and suggest that Biden won't agree to a single debate.  

Two Beers Per Week?

 President Biden's health 'expert' came out this week and said that there should be a limit of two beers per week.

He didn't say a law or sales limit should occur....just that you should only drink two beers a week.  Oddly, he didn't even say low-or-moderate alcohol content....just two beers.

I pondered over this.

I grew up in a dry county (rural north Alabama) and most people would readily say they drank zero beers, but behind a closed door....admit to driving to the state line and consuming four to eight beers over a four-hour period....every Saturday evening.

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate for the guy to suggest a McDonalds menu limit of 1,200 total calories?  Or perhaps.....suggest that only half-a-Coke-can per day would be more appropriate?  Or perhaps suggest no more than 3 pancakes with syrup per week?

How did beer come into a political discussion?  By accident or design?

It's just an odd conversation.  

What'll happen here?  Well....two beers could be in a regular containers....or in mega-containers (1-liter size).....so I'm guessing extra-large beer cans will be the outcome here.....24 ounces per can.  A full-liter can?  Well....that would be 33 ounces.  

America As A Car

I have a Audi A5, which has probably 300 different features built into it.  So far, four years into owning it....every single thing has worked.  One day, I expect a feature or two to develop issues, and troubles to start up.

America is like that advanced car....except it's already got issues.

You can't depend on the police, or some local prosecutor.

You can't lessen fire danger issues because of environmentalists

You have druggies on every street in major cities now.  

You have a higher chance of power-outage today....than in the 1970s.

From the general population....there is less trust in nurses and doctors today....than forty years ago.

Daily readership of newspapers?  It dropped by 50-percent since 2000.  Go ask people about the last time they read a Time or Newsweak.....a lot of people will tell you at least ten years ago.

Recruitment for the US military?  In severe decline.

Something is 'broke' here and the pieces/parts required....just won't fit like they did before.

People are skeptical of your intentions, your beliefs, or the general facts.  

It's a rough world developing.
