I think that's VDH's point. They plan to lose. Bidden operates like a lame duck president.

He and his handlers are daring v to re-elect him. And they just might. If they do, then they are validating his anti-American approach. If they don't, his opponent takes flak to clean up the mess.

Biden always was a dolt, but he's basically been turned into a Jimmy Carter level village idiot.
