History doesn’t lie; his missteps and failures were predictable and are clear evidence of the Peter Principle at work. The question is, what does America do now?
The Peter Principle warns of the dangers of advancing leaders to positions where they prove to be completely inept.
"Incompetence personified defines our current leader of the free world. Back in 1969, Peter and Hull wrote what they thought was a half-serious little book, The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong, to poke fun at businesses which were promoting their leaders to levels of incompetence. The Peter Principle warns of the dangers of advancing leaders to positions where they prove to be completely inept. Little did they know, that not only did they nail an actual problem within all hierarchical organizations, but they also predicted its occurrence in politics. We now have the most significant and tragic example of the Peter Principle in modern political history — President Joe Biden.
"How has the Peter Principle tangibly played out in Joe Biden’s life? Well, let’s take a candid look at his track record and his personal acumen.
"In 1972, at the age of 29, after serving two years on the New Castle County Council, Mr. Biden was elected to the U.S Senate from the state of Delaware. He was re-elected to that same position six times. During this extended period of being a professional politician, he had very few noteworthy legislative accomplishments. During the duration of his senatorial career spanning 36 years, his ultimate and only true notoriety was being tagged as the “attack dog” of the Senate. Numerous flares in the night sky provided a warning that Biden had reached his career ceiling and that the Peter Principle had already occurred in his political occupation.
"During his senatorial post, he ran for president two times. He overwhelmingly failed at both. The first run in 1987 proved to be humiliating. It was confirmed that he had plagiarized speeches from four recent political figures. He also provided false information about his family background and his educational achievements. These profound examples of a lack of judgement and character resulted in his dropping out of the race. Twenty years later, Biden threw his hat in the ring again. This campaign, based on his self-proclaimed excellent foreign policy experience, resulted in abysmal showings in the caucuses and the polls. Biden dropped out of the race and emphatically stated that he would never run for president again. Democratic voters continued to see the Peter Principle at play as they voiced their consistent concern regarding Biden’s vision of becoming president.". . .
Apologies to the French, once the Vichy allies of the Nazis. The French had Marshall Petain and America has the Democrats with Joe Biden. Video TD
