I just read this quote from Susan Page’s January 8th interview with Joe Biden, in which he told us that, based on the polls, he believed he would have won the presidential election:
After he reluctantly pulled out in July, Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee, then lost in November.
Could he have won?
“It’s presumptuous to say that, but I think yes,” Biden said, adding he based that view on polling he had reviewed.
That so, Joe? Here, from realclearpolling.com, was what the polls showed the week you dropped out of the race:

Got that? Trump was leading by 3% in the polls. And let’s not forget that , in most polls, Trump has a history of underpolling versus the actual results.
Joe Biden is not just cognitively impaired. He is delusional. In a dream world. The same dream world that, just yesterday, caused him to unilaterally proclaim we have a 28th amendment.
Two more days to go. Let’s hope the country survives.
