There is no way Presidentish Joe Biden will drop out of the race, and I'm here to tell you today why he might.
Wait, what?
As regular viewers of Five O'Clock Somewhere* know, my friend and colleague Stephen Kruiser and I must have spent 18 months, maybe two years, disabusing people of any wild notion that Biden would pull an LBJ and drop out of the race or be somehow forced out by party insiders.
But recent news items have forced me to admit that the impossible is now merely highly unlikely.
For your consideration:
Ace of Spades: The Torricelli Option Is On the Table: Leftwing Bloomberg Begins Polling Trump v. Kamala Harris, Anticipating a Biden Departure. "Obviously, Trump thumps Kumala [sic]. But why even ask? What are they hearing?"
Hillsdale's Henry Olsen: Biden is denying reality – he’s losing this election. "If Trump holds his own [in the June 27 presidential debate], Biden’s low favorability suggests even a credible Biden performance won’t right the ship. If the polls still look this bad in early August, after a big debate and tens of millions more in spending, Biden must make a big decision."
PJ Media's Matt Margolis: WHOA! Trump Might Be Right About New York. "According to the latest Siena College poll, Biden still leads Trump in the Empire State, but his lead has dropped to single digits."
George Mason's Jeremy Mayer: How can Biden save America from Trump's return to the White House? Drop out of the race. "Biden has had, by most standard measures, a pretty successful presidency. But he’s being blamed for high inflation, the U.S. troops withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. "

Remember that Biden isn’t “the president.” People behind him hidden in the shadows are telling him what to do and say.
He is just a puppet.
He is just a puppet.
Just as Obama was.
Yup. We should remember this. Biden is only a puppet.
I think that this is the strategy — Biden is the front man who can be discarded when he is no longer useful to whomever is actually running the president.
Joe was selected because they knew only an old white guy that Centrists were comfortable with could beat Trump, or make it close enough to get away with the cheat.
They should have evicted Pedo Joe last autumn at the latest if they were going to do it at all. The strategy most likely for Democrat success at this point is to buttress up their House and Senate campaigns in the hopes of mounting another Resist-Trump jihad within them and the Dem-loyal political establishment called Deep State. Hunker down for four years. Go back to playing the long game. They've done it before.
My guess is Brandon won’t wake up on August 19 2024.

I suspect that Dems at their convention will spring someone new out of no where, like they did with Obama.
Dems and Joe are waiting for trial decisions before they kick Biden to the curb.
The probability of the deep state making an offer to Trump, he can’t refuse, to throw the election is not zero.
If Biden 'steps down' because of dementia it gives him a nice spot in history that ignores the fact he has no chance of winning and that democrat primaries were a sham. It gives his fellow democrats a way to choose someone else without looking like they're manipulative jerks who don't care a wit about the votes and voters of their own party.
The big problem is Kamala - she'll have to leave with him or she might choose to run rather than giving it all up for Gavin. That has to be worked out.
Lucky for democrats that no matter how convoluted and insane the excuses will be, their butt boys in the press with buy any story dems put out. The advantage of have a homegrown state Pravda instead of a free press.
the best thing the DNC could do... but won’t...is to gently drop Biden/IneligibleHarrisIdiot
and nominate somebody with a positive (or at least neutral) public image, maybe from the world of sports or entertainment (please please not a Hollywood commie stooge~!! somebody credible)
At one time I thought Oprah Winfrey but she;s made some pretty awful racist comments. Sports stars can do pretty well (they have public profiles and often, at least, don’t spew stupid idiotic leftist propaganda)
not sure exactly who would be their best choice as I try not to follow sports or Hollywood but...
you get the general idea.
NOT another political hack and NOT a stupid commieNaziStooge.
If necessary, the DNC could select almost anyone at random off the downtown Greyhound bus bench and s/he’d run better than Biden/Harris or any of their other political hacks
And then, whoever the RATS replace him with will be a pity run with the admonition, “We have to win this one for JOE !”
I believe traitor Joe is just waiting for His son hunters trials to be finished so he can pardon him.
Once that is done Traitor Joe will resign from the race,doesn’t matter the way it will be done,doesn’t matter,that’s the way it will happen
But will Biden’s ego allow him to get booted? Biden won’t leave. And he will get pushed in to his next term by the usual suspects.
Biden’s team is probably fielding “excuse stories” from the media, as we type.
My prediction: Biden is going to fall down some stairs (either intentionally, or tripped) any day now. And he and The Laughing Camela will be replaced.
I think you’re right Liz.
The Biden “won’t drop out” consensus is not real.
Nobody in the Democrat loop can talk about Biden dropping out without inadvertently causing it to happen. Talk will cause Biden’s polls to drop and bring more pressure to bear.
Cascade here. MSNBC talks-polls drop-serious proposals get traction-Biden has to capitulate.
Biden will drop out in a manner similar to how Raisi dropped out. The only difference will be that Eli Koptur will not be involved.
There is going to be a convention fight.
