Inside the ‘doom loop’ of Joe Biden’s campaign
CNN ^ | 7:38 AM EDT, Fri July 19, 2024 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

Washington CNN — Multiple leading Democrats tell CNN they feel caught in what one described as a “doom loop,” with every move to keep President Joe Biden in or push him out further destroying their chances against Donald Trump.

It’s breaking the resolve of even staunch allies. It’s feeding bad polls. It’s turning off more donors. It’s sustaining a media atmosphere where no matter what Biden does, he comes off looking like a failure.

And for those who were hoping Biden would quit, the public and private pressure, several top Democrats worry, has been backfiring.

“His last act will not be getting knocked down,” said one longtime Biden 2020 campaign aide of the family and the inner circle. “They won’t allow it.”

Sen. Dick Durbin suggested in a session between top aides and Senate Democrats last week to “put him in a muscle shirt, like Reagan chopping wood,” according to one person briefed on the discussion.

Doom loop is nicer way to describe a total cluster f@&k.

That’s what the Dems got.

President Trump looked very tired last night. He was sweating. I think he’s just exhausted. I hope he takes a few days off and rests up.

like when Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin suggested in a session between top aides and Senate Democrats last week to “put him in a muscle shirt, like Reagan chopping wood,”

100%. Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more. Yes! Genius!

All the Dems and their press sycophants scream about “protecting our democracy”; yet they can’t wait to get rid of the guy who won 87 percent and 11 million votes in the Dem primaries and caucuses with no significant opposition. And the Dem voters were just as aware as we were that Biden is senile but they voted for him anyway. Just who is hurting “”democracy”??

CNN has turned from burying Biden to trying to save him to shaming his opposition. Now, it looks like they will go back to burying him. Exciting times at CNN.

Ironically, its appropriate to compare Biden to Hitler now. Hitler in the bunker.

“...That's what the Dems got...”

Well, that's right. It's what they cheated, schemed, lied and struggled so desperately to accomplish. I recall the infantile glee and smug self satisfaction they showed us when they succeeded.

I also recall knowing deep down, and for a certainty, that it would work out for the worst.

I am not a genius or a seer, but you don't need to be to look at facts straight in the face and know where they lead! Liberals aren't even THAT smart!

Sometimes math takes you places you don’t want to go.

In 2016, in a contentious election, roughly 135 million votes. 63 million for Trump.

In 2020, some 156.5 million votes. Trump got 74 million votes. Biden got 81.2 million

In 2024, with 13-20 million illegals, you have to expect 170+ million votes.

Even if Biden only got the same democrats that voted for Hillary in 2016, 65 million, with 13 million illegal aliens voting for him that gives him 78 million votes.

Ergo, Trump would need eclipse his prior two voter counts to come close to Biden in 2020, and with 13-20 million new democrat voters, may need as many as 100 million to win.

First, I don’t think that Trump can get a 100+ million votes. I don’t think Joe Biden could 40 million legitimate votes, but after 2020 you have to assume with: Bloated voter roles, Illegal votes, counterfeit ballots, mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, and illegal aliens voting, it’s going to take 100 million to beat the democrats.

Mathematically, it makes no sense to replace Joe Biden. It’s far more important to have the voter fraud apparatus up and running and ready to go. I don’t like the ‘math’ here either, but even a demented democrat probably has this.

“Brain aneurysm repair - discharge”

“If you had a stroke or brain injury from the bleeding, you may have permanent problems such as trouble with speech or thinking, muscle weakness, or numbness.

“Problems with your memory are common, but these may improve.”

https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000123.htm

“Doctors saved his life and the recovery from his brain surgeries is simply astonishing. His ability to succeed at the highest levels of government after these aneurysms is truly inspirational.”

Quotes:

Aphasia is a language disorder that can happen when there is damage to parts of the brain that process language. In most cases, it comes on after a stroke, but it can also be caused by a traumatic brain injury, aneurysm, or tumor.

Aphasia can affect both written and spoken language. Raasch says some of her patients have difficulty reading or spelling words. Other common symptoms include producing speech that doesn’t make sense to the listener or saying one word in place of another.

“For example, the patient may say ‘cat’ when they mean to say ‘dog’,” said Raasch.

“Be patient; give the patient with aphasia time to communicate,” said Raasch. “If someone with aphasia is having difficulty understanding and responding, simplify what you’re asking. For example, avoid asking too many questions or providing too many options at once. Present the person with one option at a time and give them time to respond.”

Aphasia doesn’t affect a person’s intelligence.
Raasch emphasizes that aphasia affects a person’s ability to process language, not their intelligence. If someone with aphasia says ‘dog’ when they mean to say ‘cat,’ it doesn’t mean they don’t know the difference between a dog and a cat.

“Aphasia doesn’t affect the way they’re thinking. It doesn’t mean they’re less intelligent,” said Raasch. “People with aphasia can lead functional lives. They can return to work, drive again, garden. Life isn’t over if you have aphasia.”

As long as the cultish religion of leftism controls our schools and universities, the leftists will continue to amass more control of us. It’s the public education system that spews an endless supply of deeper leftists with the most extreme thinking as the next generation of voters.

But hey, conservatives keep enrolling their kids anyway thinking they will have a different outcome or it won’t affect their kids somehow.
