One great thing for Democrats, no one is talking about Trump. As they say in Hollywood, all publicity is good publicity. I personally hope that Biden stays in the race for the long haul.
Amazingly, Biden does have loyalists. You will see them muffled with pillows over the next few weeks, or change their tune to try and get on the next train leaving the station. They like their power and their jobs. They don’t want to lose them.
I don’t think Biden will be able to remain.
Here is what will happen in the next few weeks.
George Stephanopolous played Brutus to Biden’s Caesar. He stuck the knife in last night.
Democrats will come together and force Biden out. He will be assured that his family will be protected. They might even get assurances from Establishment Republicans (RINOs).
Biden not only quits the race in the next two/three weeks, he resigns the Presidency.
DEI Barbie Kamala rises. But, they are already throwing her under the bus. She knew how frail the President was and lied to the American public about it. She gets to be President from August to January 20, 2025. She gets all the trappings of being a President after that. Secret Service, photo ops. She and the Democrats get to say they put the first female in the White House. But, she is PINO. The cabinet will actually be running the show.
The new Democratic ticket isn’t led by Gavin Newsome. California sucks and everyone knows it. People are leaving California. He sucked in his debate with DeSantis. The Dems have CA locked up.
The nominee is Gretchen Whitmer. They get to play to their “equity” by running a woman. The VP is someone generic who is an attack dog who can raise money. JB Pritzker anyone? With JB they can tell the Jews who are leaving the Democratic Party over Hamas/Israel that they didn’t really mean it even though JB is a JINO.
The media covers the whole thing up and advocates for the Democrats.
Trump has to play it cool. Can he? It will be harder for him to attack Whitmer. Going after JB is easy because he is grossly obese, and one of the most despicable liars and opportunists in the history of American politics.
The question is will the American public buy it?
The Democrats are in a stinking bed of their own making..pop the popcorn.
For me the worst thing about this is the glamorizing of Bidens past. He is a fabulist, a pathological exaggerator, and an outright liar....and he ALWAYS HAS BEEN. You could say Donald Trump has exactly those same character flaws, but Biden did that at the expense of others his entire public life and more recently at the expense of the country. Trump does it to burnish his own ego and forward his business interests.
Biden tried to portray himself as a brilliant jurist during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. Biden lied and continues to lie about a drunk truck driver killing his first wife and child. That poor guy's life was ruined by Joe Biden...and for what? Why lie about the poor soul who has to live with that?
Biden is an asshole. He doesn't deserve these fawning lines that Washington apologist Peggy Noonan writes:
"You got us out of Afghanistan. You passed huge FDR-level bills that transformed the social safety net. . . . You did your job in history. You fulfilled your role."
Obama saw it years ago when he said not to doubt Joe's ability to fuck things up.
You are correct, JB is a huge dissapointment. He was very reasonable when he ran against Jan Schakowsky and Howard Carrol maybe 25 years ago now for US Rep. Centrist, Bill Clinton Democrat, running against the Evanston/Rogers Park hard left.
Now his politics are practically identical to Jan Schakowsky and the lunatic left....this while running his own finance offshore for a couple of generations now, free from US Taxes.
