Is This the Smoking Gun That Proves Biden’s Advisors Set Him up to Fail?

There’s a new twist in the Biden saga, and it’s not pretty. If you thought the disastrous 2024 debate performance was an accident, think again. A leaked memo from Biden’s own campaign advisers has surfaced, and it’s nothing short of jaw-dropping. The so-called “strategy” behind Biden’s early debate commitment wasn’t just political malpractice—it looks like a setup, plain and simple.

Let’s cut through the spin. After months of hand-wringing and excuse-making from Democrats desperate to memory-hole Biden’s decline, we finally have a smoking gun.

The memo lays out a highly scripted plan for Joe Biden’s participation in the 2024 presidential debates, emphasizing tight control over every aspect—from format and scheduling to moderators and even microphone rules.

Rather than follow the traditional Commission on Presidential Debates schedule, Biden’s team proposed just two debates—one early (June) and one closer to Election Day (September)—both under conditions favorable to Biden. These included choosing moderators seen as sympathetic, eliminating live audiences, and ensuring Trump’s mic would be cut off when it wasn’t his turn to speak. The strategy was clearly aimed at minimizing risk and preventing Trump from dominating the stage.

This wasn’t just about bad advice; it was about a campaign so desperate to get ahead of the inevitable that they rushed their own candidate onto the stage, knowing full well he was in no shape to handle it. The excuse? The Olympics and family vacations. Please. Since when does a presidential campaign schedule the most consequential moment of the cycle around summer travel plans? They don’t. They wanted it to happen early. Trump had wanted early debates because he knew Biden would choke. Does anyone believe Biden’s campaign advisors honestly believed the debate would go well?

His team was clearly concerned about age, stamina, and his ability to stay on message, which explains the push for limited exposure and tightly managed conditions.

But the real kicker lies in the memo’s details. Even Politico pointed out that Biden’s advisors felt the need to write “YOU” and “YOUR” in all caps—a strange move that raises more questions than it answers. Were they trying to make sure he alone took the fall for a decision that could implode his campaign? Or were they so worried about his cognitive state that they had to spell out who the memo was actually for? At the very least, it reeks of condescension, and at worst, desperation.

This memo isn’t just evidence of a campaign in disarray—it feels like proof that Biden’s own team set him up to fail. They knew he was unfit. They knew the risks. It was either the worst kind of political malpractice in presidential campaign history, or it was a deliberate set up. And, again, I remind you that Trump wanted early debates too, so why would Biden’s own advisors also want that?

The evidence is right here, in black and white.
