Selling a ‘comeback kid’
Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, who hosted a private fund-raising dinner for the president at his home on Saturday evening, was among those receiving a call from a senior White House official.
“It was acknowledging that they had a tough night and also acknowledging that we’ve got to remember that this has been a heck of a run the past four years, and we’ve got to keep it going,” he said in an interview, adding, “They have to hit the gas pedal hard.”
At his event, which raised $3.7 million for the campaign, Mr. Murphy introduced the president as “America’s comeback kid.”
As some Democrats dreamed up ways to draft another candidate on private text chains and in quiet conversations, top Biden officials told nearly everyone that there was no viable alternative and Democrats needed to stay focused on the threat posed by Mr. Trump.

“Donors are very concerned,” Mr. Meeks said. “I had a number of them come and said that they were panicked, to be quite honest with you, that we had to do something, we had to do something now. And others who came up to me and said it would be a mess to do something now.”

One of Mr. Biden’s top advisers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preserve relationships, said the idea that a younger candidate could replace Mr. Biden and still beat Mr. Trump in November was akin to a “D.C. parlor fantasy.” The adviser compared that hope to the speculation that Nikki Haley or other Republicans could have knocked Mr. Trump off the G.O.P. ticket.

They did NOT fix it whatsoever. They are still re-working the lies and trying to change reality.
Everyone. Including the mainstream media will get their orders on Monday. Then they'll go back to attacking Trump as usual.
They'll act like the debate never took place on on June 27, 2024.
Right now, the best thing the far left RATS could do for President Trump is pull Pedo Joe’s chestnuts out of the fire. Whitey can’t wait to vote for Ms. Barry Sombrero. It pwoves they’re not wasis.
The article has two different pictures of signs in crowds.
The signs asking Biden to step down were hand written on make shift signs.
The signs supporting Biden were slick and machine made.
Hello, astroturf!
That’s a scary picture, and captures the vindictive narcissist Biden really is underneath the ‘lunchbox Joe’ image he’s tried to sell to the public for so long.
They might have Joe go on a Sunday morning show.
Joe, America was shocked at the debate.
I’ve watched the videos several times. I’m very disappointed in myself for letting myself be worn out by excessive debate preparation. I should have realized I was only to get softball questions that I could easily handle without mind-exhausting preparation. I’m here on your show this morning to set America straight on my continued ability to serve.
Why do you think you are the best person to do that?
I have a 50-year plus track record that says so....
The next couple of months are gonna be fun *and* damn scary to watch. Chicago will be particularly fun to watch...both what’s happening outside the auditorium and what’s happening *inside*.
Would The Big Guy’s puppet masters allow that?
It is already starting. New orders are that a man with dementia is better than hitler, and to say anything else is agist and illegal.
One fascinating element of the article was the “War Room” approach of the Biden staffers.
That approach was perfected by Bill Clinton back in the day.
The War Room has key senior staff “persuaders” pitching the target over the phone immediately—making sure to flatter them with how important they are.
They have a priority list of those who must be kept “on the team”.
—Big donors first—top priority
—Senior Senate and House Democrats and DNC leaders—second priority
—Other Senate and House Democrats
Notice who is not on the list.
The mass media.
Clinton’s team always had them at the top of the list.
That is why Clinton survived and it is likely Biden will not.
He punched himself. He better watch out for that.
“Wisconsin does not allow a candidate’s name to be withdrawn from the ballot except due to death. Nevada allows changes to its ballot up until 5:00pm on the fourth Friday of June in the election year — it also allows special consideration for if nominees die or are determined to be mentally unable to proceed. “

I wanted to share this poll on facebook, but no can do. Wish it would be fixed so I can share it. It would be interesting to see results it would get there.
They always double down, don't they? Hit the gas pedal on what, exactly? Inflation, illegal invasion, graft, and sexual perversity? Senior moments that have become hours? A President whose staff says he's just fine but only for six hours out of 24?
One big difference is that Clinton was not running against Hitler. Biden is. And because of that the media will reflexively and voluntarily support Biden, even if he does not have them officially on his team.
