The Democrats are Running out of Time on Their Hidin’ Biden Farce

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.

I wish the DemoRat Party nothing but angst and twisted contortions of mayhem within which are the very same rotten fruits they have foisted upon America.

I see that the media/dem complex has essentially turned the heavy lifting of the campaign over to 0bama. That is a very good sign since no one that 0bama has ever campaigned for has won. It will be very amusing if in late Sept or Oct the dems start demanding that the election be postponed so they can find a new candidate after Basementman wanders off and is lost in the Delaware woods.

[SamAdams76]

As the number 2 primary delegate gatherer, Bernie Sanders has the only valid claim to be the nominee should Biden have to step down. If the Dems try to nominate another candidate who received many less delegates or perhaps wasn't even a candidate to begin with, the Bernie Bros will go ape-shit.

This is probably the main reason Biden is still being kept in place on the ticket.

I thought I heard it was postponed again until next week...more time to convince Biden to step aside.

[OKSooner]

Well, cool.

That’s helpful information, thank you.

“I cannot believe Bolshies are going to let BiteMe pick their next Pres__ent.”

I cannot believe that you believe Mr. Biden is playing any part in this selection.

There is a Genesis song called Ripples, about aging.

homobama told slo' joe he didn't "need to do this", but gropey refused to know it was time to close the book and gracefully decline.

[Dilbert San Diego]

That’s what I was thinking. If for some reason Joe were withdrawing or asked to pull out, then the candidate who ran a strong 2nd in the primaries, and his supporters, would seem to have a strong claim to get the nomination.

Of course, the convention delegates still have to vote, and all of the delegates pledged to Biden as of right now would have to decide who to vote for.

The Bernie Bros would be outraged I’m sure, if someone who didn’t even run in the primaries got anointed to run.

[Fireone]

Leftists have the attention span of a gnat. Slow Joe is merely a placeholder, to focus on ahead of the shit-show convention.
That is where they will trot out their version of a rock star candidate, ie; Dwayne Johnson, Oprah, or some other superficially popular figure.
That action will ignite the delusional base into a frenzy.

Weekend At Bernie’s come to life-—

Who would have thunk it???

Yep. I don’t think any man is really “pure evil”. That is for Satan, himself. I thought Obama was being sincere and frank. And he knew Biden a lot better than the rest of us do. That comment from him was very telling. And I interpreted it as true and sincere friendly advice to a man that was on the rapid decline.

But others had other plans for Biden. Others with even less civility and deserving of respect than Obama. That says a lot coming from me because I’m no fan of Obama.

[MrChips]

“ Biden has raised several hundred million dollars for his campaign, and that money is not transferable to a different nominee.”

But, if I am not mistaken, it is transferable to the VP nominee who would take over if Biden is nominated and then drops out.

[gbaker]

I personally have a lot of enthusiasm for Biden as the democratic nominee.

we have had that for the last 2 years with rbg.

They know they can’t beat Trump. So they are throwing a loser candidate to the wolves so they can use it as an excuse for losing—“Oh, no, our candidate became so ill right before the election!” But when they lose, they will continue their behind-the-scenes support for revolution, which is to their advantage, because the public isn’t ready yet for them to impose their agenda, even if the D’s win. And even when Trump wins, this rioting and lawlessness s*** will continue.

We have to hope that enough of the judges Trump has appointed will remain true to the intent of the Founders so that institutions will have some recourse in the courts for vandalism. Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the service academies federal property? If so, Trump’s recent EO levying a ten-year sentence for pulling down statues on federal property should go a long way towards making sure there is a deliberative process and preservation of the statue even if it has to be moved. I would guess the majority of Patton statues are on military, i.e. federal, property. If soldiers can’t take the sight of a white male supremacist statue, we are truly lost.

[Albion Wilde]

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.

It’s going to be Barak Obama.

[Albion Wilde]

Dems don’t give a damn about the law. They will violate any and all laws with impunity to advance their agenda.

That’s only a minor part of the problem. The major part is that the Republicans will let them.

[Albion Wilde]

Sorry—I meant the second paragraph for the thread about tearing down Patton statues.

[enumerated]

I agree that the Democrats face some serious political challenges...

For one thing, they are morally bankrupt, and have nothing to offer but death and destruction.

Nobody wants the Marxist tyranny, the corruption, the fear-mongering, the hate-driven anti-Americanism that they are really peddling. So their entire political model is built around lies, and doubling down on the previous lies they have been telling their own constituents for decades.

But having said that, I worry about us pinning our hopes on this “Biden has Dementia” narrative. I think it is true enough, but we are mostly preaching to the choir.

We make daily sport of his latest embarrassing episode on Fox or here on FR - but most voters won’t see any of that. Most voters believe the fake news - they know ABCNNBCBS gets it wrong sometimes, just like they know the weather forecast is often wrong - but they still take an umbrella when it is “supposed to rain”.

Certainly, the voters Biden is appealing to - the Democrats - are not the most discerning of voters. Don’t expect them to be appalled by Biden’s impairment. Don’t even expect them to notice.

There is a lot wrong with the Democrat agenda that is more important, and more of a threat to the Republic, than the fact that the man at the top of the Democrat ticket happens to be going senile.

Let’s focus on the real stuff - the liberty-killing Marxism, the job-killing regulation, the baby-killing, the gun-grabbing, the anti-Americanism.

Let’s not make the mistake of assuming that Biden’s senility will give us a free ride to victory in the Fall.

Believe me, any voters who are even considering voting for a Democrat (about half the country last I heard) are not buying the idea that Biden is senile. They think it’s all a big right-wing fake news smear.

They are not buying that, any more than we are buying their depiction of Trump.

Be careful folks.
Biden looks so weak.
The entire DNC seems so retarded.

Then why are my spidey senses tingling?
This seems TOO easy.
Maybe Biden is just the bait....
