Even Biden’s potential running mates are starting to lose patience with his inability form ideas into sentences. – Check out Elizabeth Warren actually rolling her eyes as Biden bumbles around to catch a thought that zooms into and out of his noggin:
Which brings us to this little nugget from Dan Bongino:

If you’re surprised by this, you are a new reader at Today’s Campaign Update. Given that their faux “convention” is just barely two weeks away, the Democrats obviously do have a huge decision to make where Biden is concerned. Do they draft Obama to go to his former Vice President and tell him the game is over and he must withdraw for the good of the Party? Or do they just brazenly tough it out with the Hidin’ Biden strategy and keep their “candidate” closeted up in his basement all the way through Election Day?
Many people think that drafting a new nominee and mounting a campaign with him or her would be a fairly simple thing, but it wouldn’t be. For one thing, there’s the money question. Biden has raised several hundred million dollars for his campaign, and that money is not transferable to a different nominee. Thus, a Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama or Andrew Cuomo would have to basically start from scratch against an opponent, President Donald Trump, who has already raised over half a billion dollars for his own campaign.
That’s a huge hill to climb, folks.
Then there’s the question of how you mount a campaign without doing in-person rallies of any real size, and while refusing to debate your opponent. We have to understand that this factor is precisely why the Democrats have so fiercely fought to keep our economy depressed and shut down: They are perfectly willing to keep millions of Americans out of work and to destroy millions of small businesses if it means they have a rationale to deny the President his ability to conduct public rallies.
Will the public buy it when Biden says he refuses to debate the President because he might – gasp! – lie during a debate? Think about how independent voters, for whom these debates actually are staged every four years, would react to that excuse. It’s a giant risk for the Democrats to take.
But it may indeed be a necessary one for the Party to try. Biden has clearly declined rapidly over the past 16 months, and he was already obviously impaired when he entered the race last April. This is a man who cannot hold a simple press conference without holding a list of pre-selected “reporters” to call on, reporters who have been selected by Biden’s handlers because they have promised to avoid tough questions.
Biden struggles to read a short speech from a TelePrompter now, and is unsteady on his feet. These are the major reasons why the Democrats have gone to such epic lengths to ensure that party conventions had to become virtual events. We should not be surprised if they even come up with some pretense for Biden’s virtual acceptance speech to be pre-recorded rather than a live delivery so that his gaffes can be carefully edited out.
With recent polling showing that Biden’s voter enthusiasm levels have tanked to historic lows not seen since the days of Walter Mondale, the Democrat/Media axis of disinformation is even going to find it increasingly difficult to keep rolling out the fake polls and have anyone believe them. There is increasing chatter at social gatherings and across social media about the dearth of Biden yard signs, bumper stickers and other campaign paraphernalia appearing anywhere in the country.
When people can see with their own eyes that literally no one they know is a Biden supporter, and their Democrat acquaintances laugh whenever his name is brought up, the pretense of fake polls showing him with double-digit leads loses any real impact. In fact, at this point it is safe to say that the media/pollster campaign to depress Trump voter enthusiasm has been an abject, miserable failure.
But here’s the thing about all of this: Biden has made it clear that he’s going to announce his running mate selection this week. Once he crosses that threshold, it becomes even more difficult for the Party to kick him off to the curb.
It’s a real conundrum for the party leaders, and the reality is that actually don’t have an alternative who is all that attractive. Abandoning Biden now, after all of the promises he has made to get the party’s various factions on board with his candidacy, would inevitably cause massive splits in the party’s demented voter base, with the new candidate having barely two months to try to bring them all back into the fold.
The Democrat convention begins on August 17, two weeks from today. Those two weeks are going to be incredibly interesting.
That is all.
Nap time is over.
It’s not that he’s hiding; it’s simply that Dementiajoe’s mind has left the building.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Plugs or so other hack. They are all titular puppets for the Communist Democrat Party who selects them, owns them and controls them.
“Joe Biden” is a media invention.
He’s whatever the media says he is.
Black Mirror’s “Waldo” episode is perfect- for Joe and Obama.
But after he picks a VP, if Joe were to -- you know -- suddenly die, would the VP have access to the money?
>>Or do they just brazenly tough it out with the Hidin’ Biden strategy and keep their “candidate” closeted up in his basement all the way through Election Day?<<
If it gets him elected no way will it end on Election Day, much less Inaguration day. In fact, if this works you may never see a democrat politician in the flesh again!
I cannot believe Bolshies are going to let BiteMe pick their next Pres__ent.
Milwaukee is expecting a full scale riot for the Dem Convention. The Wisconsin National Guard [32nd Brigade] has been activated. There is talk about bringing in Guard troops from other States and build the numbers to a Division size unit.
” But after he picks a VP, if Joe were to — you know — suddenly die, would the VP have access to the money? “
Prepare for four years of Weekend at Bernie’s.
There is a Genesis song called Ripples, about aging. In one line it says, “it’s the last time you’ll look like today”.
I hate to break it to the Democrats, but Biden is on the back side of the mental slide to death. And though aging through most of your life is imperceptible, at the end it is a very, very steep slope. Especially if you have Dementia or Allzeimer’s.
Every day Biden can look in the mirror and say, “This is the last time you’ll be as sharp as you are today, and for the progression of these ailments, three months is a long time.
We’ve all been watching the slide over the last few years. It’s tangible, especially lately. IMO, he crossed the line into needing an adult care facility at least a year ago. If he were an average american, that is where he would be.
Running him simply proves the democrats are both morally and intellectually bankrupt. I’m no fan of the R party, but they are heads and shoulders above the D party. The latter just needs to join the Whigs in their fate.
The deadline for a candidate to get on the ballot has passed in some states. Not that silly laws would ever deter a Democrat.
Truth.
Also truth about Biden's fundraising. Would the dems be able to appeal to Joe's sense of generosity and prevail on him to share most of it with whomever takes his place?
What a mess, it sucks to be them.
Whoever this turns out to be, you will hear FAR more from that person than you will from Biden. They will be the face and voice of the campaign.
[[[Biden has raised several hundred million dollars for his campaign, and that money is not transferable to a different nominee.]]]
Democrats do whatever they feel like.
I believe it is illegal for a candidate to transfer campaign funds donated to their campaign to another campaign. The donors expected that the money would be spent to elect politician A, and it is considered fraud to use it to elect politician B.
I could be wrong, but I recall reading about this in years past.
The Collectivists in the dem party are likely okay with Joe being put up as a grim sock puppet. He signals the end of the establishment old guard. In four years they will offer up someone to the left of AOC.
Bring him out. Have a debate. Trump will knock him out in the first round, as a good boxer does to a weak loser, to spare him the embarassment of being constantly pummeled all the time, only to lose in the end.
Exactly what I was gonna say. Dems don’t give a damn about the law. They will violate any and all laws with impunity to advance their agenda.
