Biden is not dropping out. That is final.
All that is being accomplished by Democrats attempting to relitigate the primary or saying that he can’t win or he isn’t fit to be president is telling voters that they should vote for Trump.
Considering that Biden led Trump by 9% in polls in the summer of 2020 and yet only barely eked out victory by a razor-thin margin in three swing states when November came, I’m not sure where you assert this confidence from, given that Biden holds little or no lead over Trump at the moment.
Once again, the Democrats cannot fail, they can only be failed.
CNN is reporting that Biden is suddenly “receptive” to the idea (or at least to discussing the idea) of dropping out, and is now asking advisors whether they think Kamala can win.
Maybe it’s the Covid talking.
Again, you sound very certain. The future is unknowable.
I wonder if some of the Democrats calling for him to step aside are doing so for potential bragging rights if they manage to derail his campaign. “See how wise I am! I predicted this would happen!” Prediction is easier when you have a small hand in the outcome, of course. Unfortunately (for them, and of course for us) the are probably going to be saying “I told you so” to a Republican President, Congress and SCOTUS.
Trump has made exponentially more mistakes than Biden and if his Party had treated him the way some Democrats treat Biden he would be spending his time right now sobbing at home…or in prison.
But they didn’t.
So he isn’t.
In the scenario where the people calling for him to step aside are right, he at least convincingly loses if not actively gets blown out.
If he loses by 1 state within margin of error Adam Schiff doubting him could be one of the many factors in that lost him the election, and Adam Schiff would have been wrong to feel the need to publicly call for him to step down when he was actually competitive. If he loses by the margin Obama won in 2012 or more it’s not because of what any random politicians said in July
And if they all closed ranks, told Republicans they were full of shit and spent their time promoting Biden and flipping the bird at Trump…you know, like what is happening over at the Republican Party…what do you think would happen to Biden’s chances?
He might turn out 50,000 more Democrats in Pennsylvania if he’s lucky. The number of weirdos like us who closely follow elections months before voting or even know who Adam Schiff is is tiny.
The Republicans can’t magic massive support behind a candidate via circling the wagons any more than the Democrats can. If they could, 2016 would have been between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.
I am looking at the massive amount of Republican liplock on a single orange ass and it seems to me that what they are doing is kicking our ass.
Have you noticed the republicans have lost most competitive elections in the last 6 years? Why on earth do you want emulate them?
- I don’t recall any such polls, but I do remember complaints about how Biden was boring/too old/too gaffe-prone/not a good debater, and funny enough the people who said those things then are the same ones who think he should drop out now
- The polls in 2022 predicted a 50-seat gain for Republicans and a majority in both houses
- The current polls are monstrously skewed in favor of Trump and overestimated his support by over 30 points during the primaries
CNN is Fox News Lite at this point.
If I was as convinced as some of you that they’re definitely winning this one, then I’d take a look at what they must be doing right.
The Democrats are screwed now either way. If Biden steps down now after forcefully asserting that he will not, it looks like he was forced out which erodes some support for the party. Much of the benefit of stepping down was to contrast a younger more vital candidate with Trump and you can’t do that with a guy who just survived an assassination attempt.
Voters would say “Wow, Democrats must really think we’re idiots if they think we can’t tell this guy is senile?”
Say it enough times and you prove a point-Advertising Works
Yes they are. Along with lots of the rest of us who did not say those things then.
Biden gaffes are standard Biden. Remember how clean and articulate he noted Obama was? Ooops there goes another primary race run.
Still he was the right candidate to beat Trump in 2020. Gaffe machine and all.
Facts on the ground are different.
Schiff and other pressure prevented the speed up nomination. I think he has a chance as the nominee; I also think Harris (especially with Whitmer or even Shapiro) has a better chance, even without your vote.
We don’t know what is happening behind the scenes.
The polls said no such thing in 2022. Some irresponsible pundits and media outlets tried to sell the story that they did, but they were just wrong, same as the people who assured us that “the polls” in 2016 guaranteed a Clinton landslide.
Here’s what voters think;
Well, I guess that ends the argument. Six random people on Twitter have spoken! Thank God that “#1 Jalen Hurts Fan” has finally favored us with his astute analysis!
They are the origin of both Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck.
During the Trump Administration, Kellyanne Conway appears to have been on a constant line to feed headlines of horrible, horrible things that would make Liberals very very angry, that had been decided in the Oval Office, right into CNN’s instant, unconfirmed reports.
Anyone decrying Fox really should do likewise with CNN.
