Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall.com: Oh, so that's why no one can challenge Biden within the Democratic Party.

The other factors favoring Biden are obvious: the 2024 Democratic field is a clown show. So far, it’s Marianne Williamson and her magic crystals and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has spewed misinformation about vaccines for years. And yes, the Kennedy family isn’t supportive of this effort. As we noted before, Democrats are also hoping that Trump clearing the 2024 GOP field will make the choice even clearer, despite Biden's noticeable cognitive deficiencies. He may be old, stupid, and slow—but he’s not an agent of chaos like Trump; that’s the Left’s narrative. During the 2022 midterms, Democrats gambled that voters would pick stability over havoc, despite all the political headwinds facing Democrats— and they were right.

Leah Barkoukis, online features editor at Townhall.com: KJP forced to clean up her answer to question about Biden serving a full two terms.

President Biden's reelection announcement came after a recent poll showed a majority of voters, 70 percent, believe he should not seek a second term, including 51 percent of Democrats, with age being a major concern. If reelected, Biden, 80, would be 82 on Inauguration Day and 86 at the end of a second term.

Tim Graham, executive editor of News-Busters and director of media analysis for the Media Research Center: Biden bizarrely claims he's all about freedom.

Biden, the so-called devout Catholic, proclaims we're in a battle for the 'soul of America,' like he's on a spiritual crusade. But his agenda wages war on traditional religious values on behalf of pro-abortion and LGBTQ extremism, and his Justice Department talks of infiltrating Catholic churches to search for 'racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.'

This gets mangled by the press. NPR reporter Scott Detrow distorted Biden's 2024 theme: 'In a hyperpoliticized culture war climate, he thinks most voters actually, in the end, just kind of want to see government get things done.'

No, Democrats are the instigators of a 'hyperpoliticized culture war climate.' The news networks like NPR promote the leftist side of the culture war and ignore or demonize any opposition.

Larry O'Connor, talk show host and political commentator: Biden: It's midnight in America.

Republicans must take into account several factors when choosing their nominee over the next several months. They need to select the person best equipped to lead our nation with the policies, vision, and temperament to lead us to better days. But we also need to select the individual who can articulate their plans and agenda in a way that doesn't demonize and disrespect the Americans who voted for Joe Biden four years ago.

If our candidate falls into the trap of matching Biden punch for punch with his slime and dirt, we might win, but what will be left to govern?

It's time for a Reaganesque moment. It's time for 'Morning in America.' We're ready.
