Joe Biden retreats to Delaware as Trump stumps through four states

It was back to the basement for Joe Biden Saturday — as President Trump went into campaign overdrive.

With only 16 days to go before Election Day, amid an uproar over The Post’s expose of son Hunter’s shady foreign business deals and with a second debate face-off this week, Biden retreated to his Delaware home with no public events on his schedule — and a substantial but slightly slipping national polling lead in his pocket.

Meanwhile, the underdog president whipped up his troops Saturday at back-to-back rallies in two crucial battleground states, with two more of the raucous gatherings set for Sunday and a full slate of appearances this week that will have him hopscotching across the country.

First time I’ve seen it. Well done.

If so then Trump won the election because Kamel face has no chance against him. This smells to me like a plan that has gone awry though. I think this info about Hunter was meant to come out after Biden won the election solely to get Biden to step down and make Kamel face POTUS but someone leaked it and now it’s backfiring in their face big time. The Dems Chinese owners are not going to be happy.

I guarantee that Biden is in this until the end.

Pressure is coming from where? From all the mainstream media outlets? From Republican senators and house members? From the department of justice?

And I don’t want him to drop out. I want him to keep getting roasted the next two + weeks with more and more information coming out

Anybody on our side that wants to drop out is crazy. Trump will beat him absolutely

They should try sodium pentathol...

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL LOL! That's him!!! What funny is back in 2016 some Freeper was comparing Hillary to Vina from that same episode, but the "true" Vina without her illusion of beauty. There was a photo of Hillary that looked just like her, I cant find it though.

[philippa]

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit. He has to know the President will bring up Hunter.

[Texan Tory]

Here is my take: I don’t think Joe Biden will withdraw. His backers will hope that most of the country won’t ever see the news on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Fox and OANN will cover the story, but CNN, NBC, ABC and almost all others will say little if anything about it. Still, they are worried about the damage this story is causing to Biden, because they know that some undecided voters do tune into Fox sometimes. But they are calculating that the damage won’t be enough to cost Biden the election, and they probably have their own surprises against Trump in the next two weeks.

I wonder if Joe Biden has a laptop in his basement that he is now scrubbing with Chlorox. (He calls it “Bitchbleach” for cleaning hard drives and files).

[Nicojones]

“and a substantial but slightly slipping national polling lead in his pocket.“. Horse manure!

Right now, looking only at the latest swing state polls, President Trump has already exceeded the necessary electoral votes for victory. Two weeks is an eternity in an election cycle, so keep your fingers crossed that things hold. See below (D signifies a democrat pollIng agency that shows trump in the lead ) -

IA: David Binder (D) +6; Data for Progress (D) +1; Hart Research (D) +2; Monmouth Univ. +6;

OH: Civiqs (D) +3; Morning Consult +3; Baldwin Wallace Univ +2; Trafalgar Group +4; Hart Research (D) +2

GA: Morning Consult +2; Landmark Communications (D) +2; University of GA +2; YouGov +2; Monmouth Univ. +5

FL: Trafalgar Group +2; Insider Advantage +3; Democracy Institute +4; Big Data Poll +2; ABC News/Washington Post +4; Marist College +1

AZ: Trafalgar Group +4; Targoz Market Research +1; Data for Progress (D) +1; ABC News/Washington Post +1

NC: UMass-Lowell +1; Harper +1; Trafalgar Group +2; Rasmussen +2

MI: Trafalgar Group +1

Result of above swing states plus solid red states - Mid-270s EVs (Note, this analysis assumes Trump does not take PA or MN, in which polls are mixed)

“Doubtful - The media will drag his criminal @ss across the finish line, hell or high water. They are going to try and steal it, but I’m praying for an overwhelming win for Trump backed with an army of lawyers, if needed“

I might have believed that possible yesterday, but this is snowballing. I’m sure that a lot of people are looking for the exit strategy with the least long-term damage tonight.

[Songcraft]

They have not seen his hide nor hair,
He's hiding down in Delaware.

[jmacusa]

No. Drugs like that for a man his age take a toll. Especially on the liver. Don’t forget, as we age so do our internal organs. A 77 year old man has 77 year old internal organs.

Biden is a walking corpse. It’s his wife who is pushing him to do this.

[Antioch]

I think the “Patterns of Force” episode is perfect Biden, especially with the injections. John Gill even looks like Sleepy Joe

[MrChips]

Does he drink that much beer?

[ScottinVA]

I doubt he’s going anywhere. Biden knows the “media”(D) are all in for him and will give him all the cover he needs.

[philippa]

So the woman who advised him it was ok to take payoffs from Ukrainian politicians is now suppressing news about it because its “fake news”. No words.

[Williams]

The NY Post is the new Drudge.

This is very similar to the VP Spiro Agnew scandal.

I just spent 15 mins looking at Hillary photos - it wasn't that bad....she looked pretty defeated in many of them - but these came closest:

[miserare]

Thanks!

That looks very good.
