The never-ending debate over Joe Biden’s ability to command an audience has taken yet another twist, with his recent convention speech ending up in a time slot that could only be labeled “past prime.” The question on many minds is whether this scheduling blunder was a product of pure intention gone awry or just a classic case of complete incompetence. Spoiler alert: it’s probably a mix of both—much like a fruitcake that no one wants at the holiday gathering.
Biden’s team seems intent on presenting him as a wise elder statesman, but the reality probably looks a bit more like a confused grandfather fumbling through a family photo album. While there may have been some grand plan to make his speech seem more mysterious by shoving it into the late-night category, the outcome was more reminiscent of a sleepy Sunday afternoon than a fired-up political rally. If this was all part of some elaborate strategy, one must wonder who is advising the President—perhaps a team of raccoons rummaging through a dumpster for ideas.
Kamala Harris, the @DNC, their Media cohorts, and #Elite owners weren't concerned about @JoeBiden's incompetence for the sake of the nation; they've known & lied about it for 4 years.

Scheduling the speech for when most Americans are winding down, flipping through channels or preparing for bed, raises questions about the administration’s grasp on what the average citizen is actually doing these days. Evidence suggests that most folks are simply not tuning into political speeches after dark. This isn’t a nighttime soap opera, after all. It’s supposed to be a showcase of vision and leadership, not a third-rate drama unfolding when all the popcorn has been consumed and the main characters have long since called it a night.
The fact that this speech happened far too late in the evening begs a fundamental question: Do Biden and his advisors actually believe that Americans are eager to hear him drone on while the moon is shining brightly outside? Perhaps they think that a midnight monotone somehow lends an air of gravitas to his words, but it’s hard to imagine that folks tuning in at the witching hour are anything but bewildered, reaching for their remotes in a desperate bid to escape.
In the end, whether it was sheer incompetence or an ill-fated attempt at strategy, one thing is clear: the Biden administration is far out of touch with mainstream America. They may be clinging to the hope that they can pull off some sort of late-night miracle, but instead, they’ve given a new meaning to the term “political zombie,” with Biden’s awkward presentation occurring while most of the country was already deep in slumber. The future of this administration may come to hinge on their ability to schedule their important events at a time when people are actually awake and engaged — a lesson seemingly lost amidst the politically chaotic shenanigans.
