You want the real story out of Indiana that the press will ignore?
Joe Biden just won the democrat primary there by the fewest votes of any democrat since at least 1992!!! Probably less than well before that.. Biden only Manages to get 46% of the votes he got there in 2020!!!!
Far fewer votes than any democrat candidate has won the state by in a long polling time!
2016,2012,2008, 2004,2000, 1996 and 1992 democrats Candidate winners all got more, votes, significantly more votes than Biden got this week.. and I bet the trend goes back even further, but I have yet to be ape to find the vote total results for any contests prior to 1992.
Biden just laid a huge huge egg in Indiana folks, and the MSM won’t even say a word about it, if they even noticed at all.
Have to just disagree, Neither are believable..
More Newsome is seen nationally the lower he is liked.. and Michele well that’s just Oprah wet dream nonsense there.
I imagine some of this was because a lot of Dems voted for Nilkki Haley to tweak Trump. Indy is open primary. But that can’t explain all of it.
Yes there was crossover sure but even if you add ALL of Nikki’s votes to Biden’s (which isn’t going to be reality but even if you did) you still get the same result. Biden just underperformed every Democrat primary winner in Indiana in more than 30 years
What do they care? As long as they can control America’s institutions, including elections, the press, academia, the judiciary, et al., and millions of useful idiots, having a dummy in the Presidency is no liability for them, and they probably get an evil schadenfreude kick from the insult to the USA, for which they have no respect and fully intend to expunge from the earth.
If they replace Biden, what happens to all the mail-in ballots with Biden’s name on them?
Are they counted for Biden’s replacement or discarded?
The election turmoil that could ensue would break the nation.
Do you believe dementia Joe actually beat Trump in 2020?
If your answer is "no" you support my point and you either haven't realized it or perhaps you don't like it.
If your answer is "yes" then we have something to disagree about.
bkmk
Thank you for articulating some of the problems of a last minute replacement for Biden. Although compliant Dem state legislatures would probably rush to change whatever laws are needed to overcome issues like that, a la Frank Lautenberg’s last second senate “campaign” in New Jersey years ago.
They all voted for Haley. I would not make too much of it. Indiana you only have to declare when you vote in the primary.
Again, even if you took 100% of Haley’s votes and added them to Biden’s he still got less votes than any Democrat in more than 30 years.
Democrat party isn’t worried they will make up the difference with illegals voters in other areas that are heavily populated.
This election will be rigged more rigged than the last one.
The only way it works is if they replace Biden with Kamala Harris. Then the ticket is intact.
So, I think all this talk of replacement is just talk.
In 2020, the same brain-trust said Biden would resign weeks after he won, weeks after inauguration, weeks after X.
It never happened and as long as the fascists see a path to propping up Biden, they will stretch this out.
I agree with this.
“Biden was running unopposed. Trump got 78% of the vote, and Haley got 21%. Looks like the Dems crossed over to vote for Nikki.”
Exactly.
Big deal — the Biden vote total is meaningless (and so is Nimrod’s 22%) unless someone thought Indiana was actually going to be close in November. This isn’t 2008.
There weren’t any real surprises at all on Tuesday, except MAYBE for Braun defeating Lt. Governor Crazy Eyes and the others by as much as he did, and even that’s not particularly worthy of excitement.
Sorry, that is a bit of an overstatement, just looked at the numbers again, but if you assume every single NIKKI vote is a crossover.. (Which isn’t the case, you will always have about 7-12% in a contested primary still vote for someone other than the lead candidate if there is another option on the ballot in protest when their guy didn’t win)... But lets just leave it as if EVERY single Nikki Vote was a Biden Vote crossing over.
Then other than 2000 (Gore), and 2004 (Kerry) Every other Democrat won the primary since 1992 by more votes than Biden + Haleys’ votes combined were this cycle.
If you just take 2020 vs 2024, the numbers are staggeringly awful.
Biden got over 380k votes in 2020, and Biden + Haley in 2024 got about 306k, down 24%.... and we know not every Haley voter was a democrat, but lets give it to them. Now, given the Democrat primary was uncontested, you could make the argument that’s all you are seeing is lower turnout because no point in voting.
Yet TRUMP, who has already won the nomination, while down from his 2020 numbers, was only down 44k. (504k ins 2020 and 461k in 2024) or down only 8% from 2024... and he too has already won his primary as well.
So, you have to engage in some pretty crazy denials of reality to claim that Biden is in a good place... he’s collapsing, every primary, he’s doing worse and worse relatively speaking.... far worse than Trump is doing when you actually dig into the numbers... However, the media just focus on the top line number without bothering to actually look at the results.
Headline is always Trump only got 79% or 83% or whatever it is for the spin for their pre-determined narrative, but when you actually did deeper, BIDEN is absolutely collapsing
Not only in polls, but mentally and physically
Again, as I have stated elsewhere, even if you combined 100% of Haley’s votes with Biden’s, and assume every single Haley voter is a Democrat crossing over (which we know isn’t true, but lets give it to him anyway)... Biden is still down 24% from 2020.. and that combined total is less than any Democrat that has won the Indiana primary since 1992, with the exception of Kerry and Gore.
Now you could make the argument that Biden is down because the primary is uncontested... and that’s a valid point. However, Trump has locked the nomination as well, and all his opponents have dropped out, still Trump’s vote totals in Indiana are only down 8% since 2020.
Biden is absolutely collapsing... Media just focus on that top number for their narrative. ooo Trump only got XX% of his primary vote...meanwhile when you dig into the actual results you see that Biden is just collapsing everywhere.
Enthusiasm Gap is enormous, and very very real.
Well mentally he collapsed more than a decade ago... I love how they are trying to play that up as something “recent”.. its not.
It must be setting in to them that Biden is likely to have his *ss handed to him in November in a historic fashion. Are the Dems starting to reconcile themselves to that now?
Will the Obamas and their odd houseguest, Valerie Jarrett finally move out of close proximity to the Trump Whitehouse?
I’m wondering just how far Obama Biden will go between now and next Jan 20 to make it difficult for Trump to set our country on a better course again?
Weaken Israel, our most solid Middle East ally?
Allow a nuclear armed Iran?
Collapse the dollar?
Heat up a war with Russia (and China as their ally)?
