Some Biden Advisers Are Discussing How to Persuade Him to Step Aside

WASHINGTON — Some longtime aides and advisers to President Joe Biden have become increasingly convinced that he will have to step aside from the campaign, and in recent days they have been trying to come up with ways to persuade him that he should, according to three people briefed on the matter.

A small group of Biden’s advisers in the administration and the campaign — at least two of whom have told allies that they do not believe he should keep trying to run for a second term — have said they would have to convince the president of several things.

They said they have to make the case to the president, who remains convinced of the strength of his campaign, that he cannot win against former President Donald Trump.

The internal deliberations speak to the standoff between Biden and his party, in which the president has become increasingly entrenched in his conviction to run, and party leaders are publicly hinting that now may be the time for him to step aside.

Now, in the third week of the biggest political crisis to have faced his presidency, Biden remains convinced that he is the man to win. His view is increasingly at odds with the mood of voters and members of his own party.

The consensus inside Biden’s operation is that it will take hard numbers to convince him, particularly polling showing that his support has eroded significantly.

Pretty simple. Give him and his babysitter turned wife immunity and a half a billion dollars.

Years ago they could have had him go for a drive with Ted Kennedy. Perhaps he could go hunting with Dick Cheney.

He could suddenly disappear and they could say they dropped him off at a farm.

Just take the Potato off all his ant-psychotic medications and see what happens.

Extraordinary. They didn’t feel the need to convince to him to “step aside” prior to him filing for re-election and participating in all of these primary elections - one after another - which he won. And they learned nothing in that debate about him they haven’t known for years.

Biden should declare at the press conference that he participated in and won all of these primary elections, he won the delegates to be nominated, and he will not be releasing the delegates he rightfully won and are pledged to him to candidates who did not run. Period. End of Quote.

The let the real entertainment begin from the Dem establishment...

“The consensus inside Biden’s operation is that it will take hard numbers to convince him, particularly polling showing that his support has eroded significantly.”

So, are the polls going to start showing Trump way ahead of Biden? The way some of the polls are manipulated, I would not doubt it.

It’s not Joe they need to convince... Joe is now the drooler in chief and is incapable of making a decision to exit. It’s Jill, Hunter and his sister who need to be convinced. Until they realize that it’s over, it ain’t over and won’t be.

Have them schedule a Biden rally right across the street from a Trump rally.

And once they have been “compensated”, seize all the members of the Biden Crime Syndicate, in a frog march, and force all of them to leave the District of Columbia, from which they are exiled for the remainder of their lives.

The regime newspaper, the NY Times, is talking about it.

That’s like reading a criticism of Stalin under Kruschev in Pravda, or China People’s Daily publishing an editorial that Mao’s last will and testament stated support for Hua Guofeng, and not the Gang of Four

Its your signal that Biden is done.

“The consensus inside Biden’s operation is that it will take hard numbers to convince him, particularly polling showing that his support has eroded significantly.”

The hard numbers are stable. The debate did not move them.

This is EXACTLY like 2016, when the Access Hollywood tapes came out and the GOPe screamed at him to drop out and let their GOPe Swamp Filth Pence run.

The polls were not friendly to Trump then, but he did not bow out. And won.

There is no reason for Biden to stand down. The polls are even and they haven’t even uncorked their October surprise of PEACE IN UKRAINE.
