I give up…….
The media and pundits will probably win…..
Joe Biden IS getting HAMMERED.by people who he though had his back…..
They have gone their way and it seems that the Democratic President is fighting a losing battle
They have NO love for a guy who did his job , bit has been seen as not slick enough on stage
Joe Biden is being pushed out the door like a used rag by a rising wave
And it is not right or fair….
Bit THAT is how humans are…
After all this?
We’ll see who ‘they’ pick to replace him…
They don’t have much time….
But the media , pundits and party elites will finally be aimed at Donald Trump
My we be Blessed with t Donald Trump defeat after all of this political blood letting….
CG says
While the “media and pundits” are blamed, it is also the case that 2/3 of Democrats want him to drop out.
The situation may be tough or difficult but it is entirely “fair.” All public officials take an oath to the country and Americans do not pledge fealty to any one person, regardless of how powerful. The people who like the red hats feel differently. It is inherently un-American.
james thinks this is all “sad” and I agree that it is, but not for the reasons he thinks.
I have some thoughts as to the timing of any announcement, but it will not let me post those.
jamesb says
The 2/3’s figure was NOT at the beginning
The constant hammering HAS had results
Biden is NOT Trump
He doesn’t have the sheer personality to force things
CG says
Yes, things change. People change their minds. That’s normal human behavior, even though you never change your mind on anything.
jamesb says
He, he, he
I’m stubborn, but i DO change my mind when the info justifies it
CG says
and do you seriously believe Joe Biden can or should be President until January 20, 2029?
jamesb says
YUP!
With Harris as his VP?
I STILL have no problem
But the wave keeps getting BIGGER AGAINST him
jamesb says
I want to be on board saying that Harris may NOT be a shoe in to replace Biden if he steps down
My Name Is Jack says
Well since you are always wrong?
Harris is undoubtedly the likely candidate if Biden drops out which seems increasingly likely.
As to your whiny editorial comments lead in?
Total garbage like most of what you spout off here.
No logical analysis,just blind emotion .
jamesb says
Your views are noted
I have no idea how a replacement would go
Knowing Democrats?
Messy?
CG says
99 percent that it will be VP Harris replacing Biden.
Not that she would be the strongest possible, but that is who it will be, and it will be an improvement regardless for the remainder of the campaign.
jamesb says
Again?
Biden IS OLD School……
Not media savvy
His handlers didn’t have the ‘balls’ to confront him…..
jamesb says
Sorry CG….,,
Ur up
My Name Is Jack says
Ridiculous
Joe Biden has been a national political figure for 52 years! Except for four years of that he has held political office, US Senator,Vice President and President.
To claim that he doesnt understand the news media is an incredibly stupid statement .
jamesb says
I STAND BY my view on Biden and the media
He has hidden from them his entire term holding hundreds LESS of news conferences and encounters…..
He beat a guy who provided CONSTANT access to the social and mainstream media
Old school politicians could get away with that
Biden has NOT
Biden did NOT’get it’ until about two weeks ago
All rhe sudden sit downs?
As u point out
His view of things ARE old school
It seems to have cost him a second term
CG says
Does it occur to you that he was not doing the interviews and the press conferences, etc, for a reason?
And in spite of that, you think he should still be running and should still be serving until 2029?
I don’t know what old school has to do with any of this? He just got old, period.
jamesb says
Sure CG…….
Stutter, lousy voice and presentation
And no trust and suspicion?
Added to s focus on DOING THE JOB vs Optics?
Yea……
For DECADES ?
To be running against a guy who eats and sleeps ATTENTION?
What is wrong with that picture?
Biden dug HIMSELF in a whole with the media
Next Democrat will NOT do THAT
CG says
You are inventing a biography that does not exist. He got over the stutter as a kid. He was in public life for decades, thrived on attention, and for better or worse, the sound of his own voice. He was considered very much in the tradition of the black-slapping. thunderous speech giving Irish-American pol.
jamesb says
CG?
He was a household guy in Delaware
He did not do ‘Big’ public speaking
Every image is Biden close in with people
CG says
Completely wrong. He was a national figure since the 1980s.
On Election Night 1980, after Carter lost, the network pundits were talking about who might be the next Democrat rising star and they talked about Senator Biden, then in his second term, and what a great speaker he was. It’s on YouTube.
My Name Is Jack says
Hey don’t confuse this fool with the facts.
He’s just making things up as fast as he can.
Anyone who showed up on this site today who had never been here and reading his malarkey would think it was some kind of joke.
No one who runs a political site could possibly be that devoid of the least bit of political knowledge or history.
jamesb says
Love Ya Jack!
jamesb says
May I remind EVERYONE?
Biden throwing in the towel is NOT a Sure or Done Thing…….
CG says
CG says
listed to Tony “Duke” Evers (not the D Governor of Wisconsin)
My Name Is Jack says
May I remind you that every political analyst or pollster believes that if Biden continues his candidacy he is headed for a massive defeat.
jamesb says
If they don’t say so THEMSELVES, eh?
jamesb says
Is there an effort to draft Senator Mark Kelly against Harris?
CG says
No, but he may be a possibility for VP.
Unless they think he can get Arizona, a Governor might be a better option.
jamesb says
Until being President?
Joseph Biden ALWAYS was a guy in the BACKGROUND
CG says
Complete malarkey,
As a Senator and mostly so as Vice President in many regards, he was a constant presence at press conferences, interviews, tv shows, etc. etc. He never passed up a camera a la Chuck Schumer or John McCain.
jamesb says
He WAS THE VICE President
He was a Obama messenger
As a Senator he ran with 99 m more
CG says
He’s been running for President since the 1980s.He always considered himself above the others.
VPs have to be subservient to an extent, but as VP, he was still very often on the Sunday shows and gave many. many speeches. Nobody ever said, “Oh, Biden is too shy.” It was the exactly opposite.
People should read the book “What It Takes” by Richard Ben Cramer. It is a very large book that focuses on several candidates who ran for President in 1988, including Biden.
Ghost of SE says
I saw a picture today of him coming off an airplane. He looked like a lost, helpless old man, and I felt just sad for him.
jamesb says
He should have SE
He’s getting booted out
Ghost of SE says
Another potential switch out option is the man Obama narrowly passed over for Biden in 2008, Evan Bayh.
jamesb says
Is that a joke SE?
jamesb says
The media pundits are closoin for the political kill
My Name Is Jack says
Everything you have said today about Biden is total complete and absolute BS.
Maybe you should take up gardening or something because you have no knowledge of politics or history.
It’s all dumb, just plain ole dumb.
Ghost of SE says
At this point, I’m thinking Obama should have chosen Bayh and spared us this shit show. Retroactive historical analysis, I know.
CG says
From what I recall, the runner up to Biden in 2008 for Obama was Tim Kaine.
CG says
CBS poll just out
Trump up 5 points nationally on Biden
Only 3 on Harris.
Time to get going.
CG says
At this point, the only thing to be determined is if he will meet my July 19 prediction deadline. I can see him wanting to spite me.
jamesb says
You may get props after all CG…….
I held on for Biden
But he simply has no support to continue
CG says
Mark Halperin is reporting that Biden will be delivering a speech on Sunday to withdraw.
Can anyone really trust Mark Halperin though?
They should make this announcement at 10 EST tonight.
CG says
It looks like a guest on his podcast today also said RFK Jr. will appear on the convention stage tonight.
CG says
I don’t actually think RFK Jr. will be there, but if so, Jim Justice needs to keep his dog away from both him and Kristi Noem.
jamesb says
RFK Jr and Trump have been conversing
That’s enough for some people to write him off
Like he was serious candidate?????
