Thirty minutes into the presidential debate, I’ve heard from three veteran Democratic presidential campaign officials, and all of them had the same reaction to President Biden’s performance: This is a disaster.
It wasn’t just that Biden wasn’t landing a glove on Donald Trump on the economy, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Covid, taxes, temperament or anything else that was coming up in the questioning. It was Biden’s voice (low and weak) and facial expression (frozen, mouth open, few smirks) with answers that were rambling or vague or ended in confusion. He gave remarks about health care and abortion that didn’t make a strong point, giving Trump a chance to say lines like, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either.”
"It is criminal political negligence that Democrats rigged their primary to nominate Biden, who looks half-alive on the debate stage facing Trump," observed veteran Democratic strategist Peter Daou.
Over at CNN, Van Jones called for Biden to drop out.
🚨CNN’S VAN JONES CALLS FOR BIDEN TO PULL OUT OF RACE:
“There are going to be a lot of people who want him to consider taking a different course now… That was not what we needed from Joe Biden. It is personally PAINFUL for a lot of people.” pic.twitter.com/IgcnwZhCbS— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) June 28, 2024
CNN and MSNBC are in full “ride to the rescue” spin mode.
Why does everyone always go to Van Jones for his opinions?
We’ve got to make sure that any and all illegal aliens caught voting are deported IMMEDIATELY.
Steve Schmidt says replace Biden. He’ll walk it back.
Even in the wake of this disaster the MSM is all in lockstep telling us the Democrats are in panic mode. They all suspected this could happen but were hoping against hope Biden would at least survive the debate. Now the message is clear from all of them. Joe needs to go and another candidate must take his place on the presidential ticket.
Well, they paid the price for not opening their primary to younger candidates.
Well, they could always draft huge Country Western stars Princess Maren Morris and Jelly Been for their ticket now that Hip Hop and Rappers have taken over Music City Row.
Braindead has gone from $1.00 to win $1.55’
to $1.00 to win $4.90.
Newsome and Pres ?trump are the ones who’s odds came in.
Thanks for all those post
The spin for the night:
Biden had a bad night and Trump spewed lies.
Had enough of the “lies” crap. To a Dem, anything that isn’t their reality is a lie.
Is the predicted red tsunami still a possibility? This is the first time I have empathized with with that arrogant old liar, and I am not ashamed to admit it. Yet, I shall never support that old fool. Bring back Orange Man and hot wife, for Pete’s sake.
I am speechless.
Biden will almost certainly be replaced on the ticket, but with who? Newsom’s record in California is a disaster. Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer as non starter. Hillary old news. Then there is the problem of what to do about Kamala. The effect of Biden on down ballot races is also a problem as the question of why incumbents didn’t recognize that Biden hasn’t been running things for the last three years.
“The president’s performance was widely panned online and will likely reinforce the impression that he’s lost a step.”
“lost a step” ?? How about both legs amputated?
Tonight they were just two black holes.
I was at work last night and only caught a few minutes of it all.
I later overheard some nurses saying how dilated his eyes were. They're the people who would know.
“6 handicap” 😂😂😂😂
Well, Trump pointed out the illegal immigrants are replacing the AA community.
I never heard an answer to that.
