The establishment media delivered a damning review of President Joe Biden’s Thursday debate performance.
Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times.
“I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention,” New York Times’ columnist Nicholas Kristof posted on X.
CNN’s Kasie Hunt underscored the difference between Biden and former President Donald Trump.
“The voice, open-mouthed look, and visual contrast between President Biden and former President Trump all have Democrats I’m talking to nearly beside themselves watching this debate,” she said:
“Democrats need a new nominee,” associate editor of the Financial Times Edward Luce flatly said:
Seventy percent would have liked to see both Biden and Trump undergo drug testing before the debate, according to a DailyMail.com/TIPP survey.
Trump is the “expected winner” of the debate, but most say the results will not change their voting intent, a recent Economist found.
When asked which candidate is expected to win in November, Trump led Biden by ten points (48-38 percent), according to a Wednesday New York Times/Siena poll.

He did!
Something stinks
CNN even slamming Brandon
I feel like this is the planned route the Rats are going to take to
replace him..to force him out
I bet there’s a power struggle w/in the DNC but who’s pulling the strings?
Obama, Hillary?
Taco Jill?
I definitely heard that. Couldn’t believe my ears.
We rigged the primaries so no one else was allowed to compete. Because, you know, we’re the protectors of democracy.
Now we have the sads
We need a new media - these are the same folks who have been looking at this guy for decades, and until a few hours ago they could see nothing wrong with him.
And again. Nobody is replacing nobody unless the polls move, and they have to move a lot.
It is largely impossible for polls to move a lot. Biden voters are generally anti-Trump, not pro Biden. Most minds have been made up.
Somewhat critically important is the reality that the deadline is not November. Early voting starts in September. So whatever is going to happen has about two and a half months. There are also other esoteric constraints for printing ballots. It would be very hard to swap him out, and his staff is going to oppose it. They will get no position at all if he’s replaced, even if the Democrat wins. Their conclusion is going to be votes are not likely to change.
This is the Swamp, people. They don’t care that he’s not fit to issue a command to the armed forces to respond to a nuclear attack. They care only about their own position and if he’s replaced the new guy will bring his own Entourage and the current staff will be shown the door.
And how about his minions who have lied all day every day about his condition, and came up with a brand new lie last week, “cheap fakes” that they were so pleased and which the media was happy to repeat
You make several good points, and even if someone is vying to replace Biden it is probably not possible unless a very very large majority of the party is in agreement. And so far they do not seem to be.
But in this case the aftermath of the debate was an even bigger win for PDJT. How will CNN, MSNBC etc etc defend Biden after this debacle?
I don’t think replacing Biden passes the smell test. He’d need to also be removed as president.
And people can see and here. The Biden campaign only had gaslighting and Trump bad talking points. I don’t know you just plug someone new in and suddenly the Dems are winning the election by 5.
There might be a few, a very, very few, honest negative reactions, but it seems far more likely that the media has been given permission by Obama to take Biden down, and quickly, so that a replacement can be found who will be able to rev up the voters quickly.
Trump was smart in employing the old rope a dope strategy at the debate matchup. Cover his face while giving the old dope 14 seconds to punch himself out. That’s a self administered TKO that Biden is never getting up from. Hate to see him replaced because Biden was the weakest candidate Dems had to offer that would have also assured Republican success in the congressional elections as well.
C'mon, man. They didn't kill the chef for nothin'!
Not sure the Democrats can dump Biden at this point because there are very few serious contenders to replace him with
Any serious Democrat who lusts to be President and can actually win is going to want to step up to the plate and forever ruin their chances by getting beat by Trump in a last minute bid
Serious Democrats who want to win are going to be looking at 2028
This leaves either Hillary or the Mooch to step up to the plate
This is Hillary's last shot so she has nothing to lose and the Clinton machine has been working behind the scenes to make it happen
The Mooch is a special case
She relies on the loony moron vote and there is never any shortage of those in the Democrat party. And let's face it- the Biden political machine is just the Obama political machine wearing a cheezy Joe Biden mask
It's probably going to come down Hillary or the Mooch.
Possibly by switching out Kamala for Hillary or Mooch as VP with a wink and nod to the Democrat base to save face for Joe
Any serious Democrat who lusts to be President and can actually win is going to want to step up to the plate and forever ruin their chances by getting beat by Trump in a last minute bid.
I speculated back in February 2020 that they Democrats cleared the decks for Biden to run because they expected him to lose badly. That all got overtaken by the COVID fiasco, but if you look at the timing of events back in those early months of 2020 it makes some sense.
1. COVID was barely in the news in January and February 2020.
2. Biden looked like an inept loser in the early primaries.
3. Almost all the other candidates dropped out right around Super Tuesday, assuring Biden would get the nomination.
4. COVID hits the scene almost immediately in the first couple of weeks of March 2020.
Going into the 2020 campaign season, I honestly thought Biden was the absolute worst candidate among all the Democrats who were running.
You correct but you left out what will Commie Harris do as she will have a big say in all this..and she indicates a fight coming.
One other note what if Jill refuses and holes up in the WH, what if Harris fights Biden stepping aside? Will the Dems decide maybe Trump needs to be death with once and for all? Cornered animals will do anything to survive...It could get very dark quick!
Oy, that is so obvious, I’m astounded I didn’t see it myself.
One of my thoughts was that Biden was a ringer to set Michele Obama up for a run in 2024
Problem is that the Democrats have overplayed their hands and doubled down on some very unpopular and destructive policies and Biden has been such a disaster 2024 is going to be a bad election for Democrats no matter what happens to Biden
Serious Democrats who can actually win the Presidency are going to be looking towards 2028, including Michele Obama
That leaves only one ……
