Democrats aren’t confident in Biden’s chances. But they may be stuck with him.

Three of Joe Biden’s senior aides entered a Senate Democratic lunch on Thursday armed with internal and external polls showing the presidential race still within the margin of error, hoping to keep this last bastion of support from abandoning his embattled campaign.

During a difficult and at times tearful meeting with Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Jen O’Malley Dillon, senators aired concerns about the president’s ability to serve for another four years, his path to defeat former President Donald Trump and the effect Biden’s poor polling might have on Democrats running down the ballot, according to five people familiar with the meeting who were granted anonymity to describe private discussions.

But by the end of the lunch, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania had enough.

“You have legacies, too,” Fetterman said, according to the people, asking what those legacies would become “if you f*** over a great president over a bad debate.”

Then, the first-term senator called the question: Who was with him — committed to sticking with Biden as the party’s nominee?

No more than four people signaled that they were, according to four of the people familiar with the meeting. While not every Senate Democrat was in attendance and some had trickled out of the lunch already, Fetterman, Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois thought Biden should continue.

The paltry show of support for Biden behind closed doors revealed that for all the indecision about whether and how to confront Biden, elected Democrats’ confidence in the president had plunged to a ruinous low. While Senate Democrats have largely kept quiet publicly, Biden may have to plow ahead despite an overwhelming lack of confidence from his former Senate colleagues. The majority of the Democratic caucus left Thursday’s meeting just as, if not more, concerned...

His strong hatred of President Trump and the American people is all the aho has. That’s why he so popular among illegal alien invaders sneaking into America for “a better life” free ride on the backs of U.S. taxpayers.

Not confident in the incarceration of Biden. Invaders invade. Innocent citizens are raped and murdered. POSOTUS is still free.

That’s what I had thought too. But I have a feeling that is not the plan.

That would be a disaster. They would be full-on caught cheating, then they would be in power when the calamity they have engineered fully hits.

Way better for our guy to be in when that happens. Then they can pick up where they left off in 2028.

Yeah. There’s these things called “primaries”, where these guys CHOSE to take a stalk of broccoli, put googly eyes on him, and pass him off as a fit commander in chief. Then, their idiot voters, in an effort that would make Sgt Schultz proud, decided to vote for him as the best person to lead the country.

Now they’re stuck with “Broccoli for President”. Good. I hope their commie-loving party burns to a cinder.

Biden’s people “we need more mail in ballots, Trumps closing…..

Scottie the printer “I'm giving it all she's go!”

Biden’s people “we can’t print fast enough…. Prepare for crash!”.

They told us that Democracy Dies in Darkness which is exactly what happens when some rich white folks and career politicians try to override 11 million voters for the idiot who won 87 percent of the vote for the nomination of this corrupt entity.

Well I don’t know why I came here tonight
I’ve got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

Yes I’m stuck in the middle with you
And I’m wondering what it is I should do
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah I’m all over the place

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

They are not only stuck with the demented, criminal Biden but his policies that have been so destructive to the American nation and its people.

They WILL stop and steal him in again. I read statistics suggest that the cheat machine already is crossing the cheat threshold with illegals,battle ground election laws and mail ballots. It’s a much higher hill to climb for Trump.

Right there is one of the major roots of the problem with Democrats. They don’t think. They emote. There are other things, too, but that’s one of the big ones. They need to get a grip.

Do not say that! Many people are being discouraged by hearing that the Dems will steal the election.

NO, they cannot steal the election, if we win huge!

So, please, go and VOTE, even if you thing they are going to steal the election.

We are probably closer to WW3 since the Cuban missile crisis, perhaps even closer, and they are only worried about winning.

Democrats live to loot the treasury and take bribes.

It is a lot harder to do that when you don’t win—by hook or crook.
