President Joe Biden’s first televised interview since last week’s debate meltdown did little to stop the bleeding.
Members of Congress and top Democratic operatives told POLITICO shortly after Biden’s sit down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos aired that the president was more energetic and forceful than he was on stage during last week’s showdown with Donald Trump — but it likely won’t be enough to tame the panic.
And many were shocked by the president’s blatant denial about his standing in the race, and his repeated dismissal of his party’s widespread concerns. It’s an approach some Democrats described as “dangerous.”
“He was more animated and made a strong case for what he has done. But the question the debate raised is about his fitness for the next four years, not his performance in the past four years,” said David Axelrod, the longtime Democratic operative who helped lead Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns. “And he simply doesn’t acknowledge that concern. He also is in denial about where he is in this race.”
A House Democrat, granted anonymity to speak candidly, said: “Denial of the problem is not a solution or a path forward to convincing our constituents that he has the capacity or the vision for four more years.”
And another Democratic operative who has advised the White House called the interview a “stay of execution” but added that the president’s “acceptance of losing to Trump as long as he tried his best will make his hand significantly worse with every Democratic office holder who does not want to lose their seat.”

PEDO JOE is the BEST they have!!! EMBRACE THE SUCK!! You DEmocrats have VOTE FRAUD DOWN PAT, SO WHY WORRY?
Did Biden REALLY say he was RUNNING THE WORLD?? OMG!
Obama was not even on the primary ballot in some states vs Hillary. They rationalized a way to get him delegates there despite this. I recall Hillary’s people in the room raging that they were denying her the nomination despite having more delegates.
They then began subtracting her delegates.
A manikin would be. biden is essentially a corpse.
That seems to be pretty typical for democrats across the board.
“I’m skeptical that Trump can get a win beyond the margin of the ‘Rat cheat.”
I join you. And as long as the, so called, conservatives, at the local levels roll over and play dead, it can be accomplished.
It’s one of the faults of the way our election system works. With it’s inborn system of counting ballots that are inconsistent nation wide, with little ability to get an actual count and not leave room for malfeasance with a secondary election count established by parties (electoral vote), and the opportunity for people to make ballots disappear from actual voters to replace them with ballots of non-existant votes, then it is destined to be taken advantage of.

All this chance without the liberal party being a part of righting a possible wrong to the American people by denial without investigation when they are supposed to protect with no questions asked makes it obvious. I join you.

He stays in until Jill says go.........
Not one Democrat that I have heard has said one word about the danger to the nation of Biden’s obvious mental incapacity. All they care about is losing the election. The polls are bad because they lied for four years and now it’s biting them in the butt...

Worse than that is many saying “Biden’s not really in charge so it doesn’t really matter.”
“Parkinson’s Specialist Met With White House At Least 9 Times Since July 2023”

They thought nothing of going from that walking white ghost in the debate to a few days later with Joe all tanned up and clueless, blaming everyone in the book for his bad debate performance. He almost looked lie Orange Man Bad.
I don’t what anybody says or who says it. This man is not going to bow out, period.
I have a friend who wants him to stay in because his staff can prop him up (a la Weekend at Bernie’s, I guess?). She claims he’s a better choice than the “convicted felon”. TDS is a real thing, but I have to also believe there is a spiritual blindness going on.
His stubbornness is not surprising. Anyone here ever try to get a relative with dementia give up their car keys, have someone manage their finances, or suggest assisted living for them? They won’t agree and they get more stubborn as time progresses.
perfect!!
I thought Biden was their best man...at least that is what MSM and the powers have be have been spoon feeding us for at least 4 years.
In 2016, Trump said that Biden lacked the Stamina to be a President. Once again, Trump WAS RIGHT.
Pay no attention to The Fellatrix-In-Chief!!
I think it's commendable that you've befriended an "intellectually challenged" individual.
Do you sometimes have to remind her to breathe when you're together?
Anecdote time:
After one of my grandfathers died his wife (my grandmother) was living alone in a very large house.
My parents wanted to move her into an assisted living facility.
It was my father who got to take her to visit one and see if he could convince her to make the move.
They went to the facility and the employees gave them a tour.
My grandmother was very pleasant and charming—shook the hands of all the employees—and let them know what a great place they had.
My father and the employees were convinced they had made the “sale”.
After leaving the facility my grandmother waited until they were out of earshot of all of the assisted living employees.
She then gave my father a hard stare and said “over my dead body”.
:-)
P.S. A few years later her house burned down with her in it.
The fire department risked life and limb to rescue her. She did move in to the facility at that time.
Lol! You would think so, right? Kiryandil, it is so sad when you consider that she is really intelligent and also a very loving person, outside of politics. The Left ideologies have her fully blind ed and so I avoid those topics with her.
One of the sad truths of American politics is that most Americans believe that they themselves are political geniuses.
This is fed by their Media bubble.
