Democrat Strategists Say the 'Presidential Contest Ended’ After Assassination Attempt
PJ Media ^ | 07/14/2024 | Matt Margolis

Stick a fork in Joe Biden. He's done.

After the recent turmoil his party went through after the debate, which significantly damaged his candidacy and prompted calls for him to drop out, Democratic strategists who spoke with NBC News on Sunday say that now the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump most certainly was the true end of his hopes of getting reelected.

"We're so beyond f---ed," lamented a longtime Democratic insider, emphasizing that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be an unforgettable image between now and Election Day.

"The presidential contest ended last night," said another veteran Democratic consultant, who spoke with the network anonymously to offer an honest assessment of the party's position in the wake of Saturday night's tragic events, which also resulted in the death of one rally attendee and seriously wounded two others.

"Now it's time to focus on keeping the Senate and trying to pick up the House," he added. "The only silver lining for Democrats is that we're no longer talking about Joe Biden's age today."

A Biden campaign spokesperson pointed to the president's Monday interview with NBC Nightly News host Lester Holt, along with his primetime speech scheduled for Sunday night, saying he would give "a forceful and needed address to update the nation on the horrifying attack on Donald Trump and the need for every American to come together to not just condemn, but put to an end political violence in this country once and for all."

"Following the president’s interview Monday evening, both the DNC and the campaign will continue drawing the contrast between our positive vision for the future and Trump and Republicans’ backwards-looking agenda over the course of the week," the campaign official said.

He’s right. Trump now has more propaganda material than necessary.

Had the democrats not stolen the election through FRAUD, Trump would be out of their hair in a few months. Hopefully he gets another four years!

Be careful with this type of thinking, boys and girls. If you remember in 2016 Hillary thought the same way about this point in the race and look how it turned out. Guess I’m just trying to say let’s not let off the gas until after the election.

Well, they’ve used up the puppet. I guess Joe’s handlers are updating their resumes right now.

I’ll believe it when James Carville comes out wearing a MAGA hat...

One thing you can be sure of, is a lot of these “democrat strategists” are dreading the next round of polls...especially with the convention and VP announcement coming on the heels of this.

If they really feel that way, then there is no point in changing their candidate, just let Biden take the fall.

They cannot push enough fraud to put Biden back in.

Could they push enough fraud to get Congress? Would they dare try?

And if they skip the fraud this time entirely, just how big will the landslide be?

That's because she thought the Deep State margin-of-cheating was insurmountable.

#3: "20 year old Ritalin boys don’t have enough range time."

And real weapons don't work like video games.

Who knows if he even sighted his scope in?

Meaningless detail, he missed is what matters.

Law enforcement might check the scope, I suppose...
