CNN and MSNBC are throwing Biden under the bus. They keep showing his worst gaffe
and saying how glad they are this happened in June instead of September or October.
Dems will try to get him to step down but old Joe might be too stubborn. At this point
I don't think it will matter, they don't have anyone who can beat Trump, even though
they will have a handful of Bombshell October surprises.

While the Biden Replacement Theory is being peddled by anyone wanting to fill column inches or get on TV this morning, the real Democrat strategists are waking up realizing they’re stuck with Biden.

Biden camp is already saying he won’t drop out, but that’s the easy part. The FEC does not make it easy to just transfer and deploy hundreds of millions of dollars to some other candidate—dollars they’d desperately need.

And who is that candidate? The idea that the ego maniacs of Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and whatever other vulture hoping to make this their moment will ignore deep policy differences, personal animosities, and the urging of those around them is ludicrous.

Not to mention the activist delegates who control the entire nominating process and the rules of convention. Activists who have little understanding of the real diversity of our country or what it takes to win a national election. They are ill prepared to actually serve as a legitimate alternative to the democratic nominating process.

For Democrats, the only thing worse then going into Election Day with Joe Biden on the ticket, is Joe Biden leaving the ticket and the absolute cannibalistic chaos the will surely ensue. This is why Democrats will likely stick with their plans of an early virtual nomination, ram through Biden, and hope something, anything breaks their way.

This is exactly it. Everyone who keeps saying it's been "obvious for months" that they're "definitely going to replace him" is talking in armchair politics fantasy land and not thinking through the specifics of what that would entail.

This would be a last-ditch, chaos-inducing, nuclear-level panic movie. We're talking Godzilla's foot is literally *hovering* over midtown and you have to pull out the nuke that might just as easily kill us all as beat the monster.

The fact that it became a live possibility last night is a sign of how apocalyptically impossible it became to ignore the extremity of the crisis. They would have done anything to avoid even contemplating this. Now they can't. There are no good options here.

That pundit is dead WRONG.

There is one good option.

Elect President Donald Trump.

Yes! The world is full of our enemies. They see not only Joe, but also Kamala and all the absolute freaks put in high positions.

China started ramping up their aggression against Taiwan a while ago. Russia of course invaded Ukraine over a year ago. October 7 attack against Israel.

It has been clear for years that military and economic warfare has been unleashed due to the insanity of Biden administration.

I sometimes wonder if the behind-the-scenes Joe is tired and ready to quit and it’s Jill that keeps pushing him along. I do get the impression that she mistreats him behind closed doors.

Look at how many times he’s made that reference to “getting in trouble”. That’s not an accident.

It’s Joe Biden. Don’t give a crap about any claims of elder abuse. He’s been abusing the country for more than half a century.

He is getting what he deserves. Unfortunately we as a country deserve infinitely better.

And with the increased chance of a second Trump administration in the wings ready to oppose them, certain players like Hezbollah with Israel, China with Taiwan, and Venezuela with Guyana may be more willing to risk pulling the trigger on their long-term aggression now rather than waiting until later. A much more dangerous world indeed.

Donald Trump wants to curb stomp that obnoxious, lying old bastard.

Just as Trump said, he is willing to debate Biden "anytime, anywhere." If there is to be no second debate, it will be the doing of the Dems, not Trump, and, yeah, they're going to be looking for a way out.

But, oh, I forgot: IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!111

Told you guys, didn't I? Have faith.

Yes, you did tell us and, yes, I was guilty of thinking Trump was too eager to debate and didn't negotiate any terms. Now I understand that he didn't want Biden to have a way to back out. My assumption is he felt that if he couldn't expose Biden in 90 minutes, he didn't deserve to be president.

Sometimes, ya just gotta believe......

Seemed to me that DJT was rope a dopin, taking it easy on FJB

Erick Erickson has a great video and article here

The Democratic Party’s Twitter account declared Joe Biden the winner of last night’s debate. They used a picture from 2021. That says everything.

They gave Joe Biden so much rest at Camp David that he didn’t even address the nation after the attacks at the Los Angeles Synagogue, and that was the best performance he could muster after more than a week of rest? He walked out like he was C3PO.

On his deathbed two hours south of Atlanta, Jimmy Carter could have had a more cogent debate performance.

For the last week, the press corps has insisted that Americans were seeing “cheap fakes” and “deep fakes” of selectively edited clips of Joe Biden. Last night, in a live, unedited debate last night, Americans saw they’ve been lied to by the press and Democrats.

As much as Democrats are going to have a conversation about Joe Biden, Americans need to have a conversation about how so much of the American press corps has carried Joe Biden’s water because of their deep hatred of Donald Trump. We’ve been lied to by the press, who lectures Donald Trump about lies.

After a terrible debate performance, Joe Biden went to a post-debate rally in Atlanta, Georgia, and, with more energy shown than at any moment on the debate stage, thanked the people of North Carolina. Yes, he really did that.

Last night, Democrats needed Jamaal Bowman to pull a fire alarm to cut the whole thing short. By the end of the night, the “LIVE” banner for CNN became a metaphor for whether Biden was still ticking.

Put frankly, if democracy really is at stake, after last night, Democrats must put a stake through the heart of the Biden campaign.

Jimmy's thinking "Thanks Joe! I can now die in peace that I'm no longer the worst president in US history!"

I didn't watch the debate last night for various reasons, but watched it just now on BoobTube. I have trouble understanding how DJT didn't just go over and choke the living shit out of that vegetable at the other podium! Liar-in-Chief is the best label for him during that 90 minutes! And for the Dems to claim Sleepy Joe was the debate winner??? What a joke!

I feel energized for November and am looking forward to it!

Didn't watch, but read the comments here.
Also, on another forum I'm on, which has a pretty outspoken anti-Trump contingent. Even they're calling it for how badly Biden was, and begrudgingly propping Trump up for his performance. Except 1 member, who is off the deep end anti-Trump.

After last night's debacle, the Democrats cannot run Biden for president.

There is so little time until the election, a new candidate would have no hope of winning.

There is a God.

Watching the SCOTUS release on FOXNEWs, seems that Monday is the final day and the ruling on Trumps Immunity decision will come out then, will be quite interesting if SCOTUS rules he has Presidential Immunity.

Heard this morning that August 7th is D Day for Ohio to have any changes, they are the earliest one

Now the democrats have two choices - replace Joe, with his permission (not likely) or keep him and accept defeat in November - truly a conundrum!

I have an 8 year-old great granddaughter who loves to talk and enjoys big words, so I try to introduce her to a few new words every week. Last year, I introduced her to the word "conundrum" and explained to her that it was like being lost in the woods and only having two trails to take, with neither of them likely to lead us back home. I said, now what does that mean? She proudly replied, "It means we are gonna still be lost, but now we are totally screwed!" (Apparently someone else in the family is helping add to her vocabulary! )

Well Jill/Joe is doubling down. President Joe Biden, who reportedly will not drop out of the 2024 presidential race, will participate in the second debate in September, a Biden adviser told CNN Friday.

And Jon Stewart, funny as it is, is saying what's on Democrats minds.

It was the opposite for me.

It was so much fun reading and watching post-debate commentary that I could not get enough. I tried laying down at midnight, but ended up getting up again and enjoying the schadenfreude till past 2am.
