Trump May Have Done Too Much Winning Tonight
National Review ^ | June 28, 2024 | Michael Brendan Doughterty

Posted on 06/27/2024 9:05:15 PM PDT by JOHN ADAMS

Right now, MSNBC and CNN post-debate panels are openly talking about options for pressuring Biden to withdraw, or party officials conspiring to replace him at the convention anyway.

I truly believe that convention drama is usually energizing for a party, not demoralizing. And the selection between Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom would allow Democrats to feel like the party of the future again, rather than a party litigating a recent past that voters hated.

If Biden’s bad performance really does lead to his departure from the race, Republicans will miss him.

Wait I thought Jill might be in on this to dump Joe and in her narcissistic mind she’d be the replacement. Kind of how Hillary thought she was the rightful heir to the presidency after Bill served 2 terms.

Skipped the debate. Is the characterization in this story true?

So did I, but I couldn't avoid hearing my wife laugh often and loudly in the next room. So yes, the characterization of the story you read is true.

I thought it was odd that both CNN and MSNBC panels post debate in unison just started throwing Biden under the bus, just hours before they were praising how sharp he was and full of energy. They all rehearsed their killing Caesar moment.

My mother was a great cook in her time, but now she’s 94 and suffering from dementia. What’s being done to Biden is equivalent to shooting up Ma with uppers and asking her to whip up some linguini a la carbonara for me and my siblings.

Yep, Biden will be dumped from the ticket before the 4th of July.

Not really. All it takes is money.

Drag ten percent through a Delaware trailer park, and you'll hook a Doc Jill every time...

I think the Democrats can only improve their chances by unloading Biden.

Depends on who would replace him as the Democrat nominee. I have to believe Kamala Harris would get wiped out by Trump. Newsom, though - he's ruined California, but he's relatively young and photogenic, and that will be enough for the hordes of liberal white women. It's horrifying to think about, but he could win.

Dems play to win and they’ll do it at all cost. They weren’t going down with biden. They knew the outcome before tonight. It was all staged.

NO NEW CANDIDATE!!!!

They stuck with Pedo Joe, NOW LET THEM REAP “ THE WHIRLWINDS”

What kind of LOVERS OF DEMOCRACY ARE THEY?

Dim o craps are the bottom feeders of our ecosystem.

They deserve much more, but we have to start somewhere.

Jill is not giving up her perks without a fight.

Joe is too senile to be threatened—the guy is half dead anyway.

Getting him off the ticket is a lot easier said than done—unless the Democrats have the stones of a LBJ.

Jimmy, that is NOT a hard dish to make.

You can do it and surprise her with your ability to LEARN SOMETHING FROM HER.

Give her some praise.

The Tater said that people needed abortions because they were getting raped by their sisters.

1. Trump did not win the debate as much as Biden blew it.

2. The Democrats may start thinking that replacing Biden is not enough and 2024 is already lost for them.

California is running a nearly 50 billion dollar deficit. That is not something that will excite voters.

Harris is an audio/visual nightmare.

The parties were not as ideological back then.

Biden owns all the delagates at the convention, and there is no way he is not the nominee unless he chooses not to run himself.

But Biden will NEVER not choose to run, he believes his own BS about being “dark brandon” or whatever nonsense.

I think there’s good reason Newsom is there but he’d maybe be a fool with what is happening in California?

It didn’t help McGovern when he dumped Tom Eagleton, and it won’t help the Democrats if they dump Biden.

Didn't help when LBJ dropped out either, although Sirhan Sirhan didn't help their odds much.
