A growing chorus of Democratic officeholders is calling on Joe Biden to retire from the presidential race, and high-buck donors say they will withhold $90 million if he is the candidate–which, in the scheme of things, isn’t all that big a number.
Why are the Democrats airing their horror at Biden’s candidacy in public? Because they don’t have any behind-the-scenes way to force him out. Their convention will take place in a few weeks, and Biden has virtually all the delegates. So the DNC’s only recourse is public pressure, putting them in the bizarre position of assuring us all that their president, the man who won almost all their convention delegates, can’t win. While Biden seeks refuge in his bunker with his closest advisers, Jill and Hunter.
But is it true that Biden can’t win? The New York Post reports on a poll that shows him in the lead:
President Biden leads former President Donald Trump among registered voters despite his debate flop on June 27, besting any potential alternative Democratic nominee — including Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.The NPR/PBS News/Marist College national poll released Friday found 50% of registered voters nationwide support Biden’s 2024 candidacy, while 48% back Trump in a head-to-head matchup. Just 2% remain undecided.
The 81-year-old incumbent has gained on last month’s survey by the outlet, which saw him and Trump tied at 49% among registered voters head-to-head.
You might think it is a questionable poll when Biden’s position has improved in the last month! But you can be sure that Jill (or whoever) is putting results like these in front of Joe, arguing that he is the Democrats’ best hope, and that he can, in fact, win.
In a survey released today, Rasmussen has findings that are better for Trump, but also odd. Rasmussen finds Trump ahead nationally by six points. But here too, Biden’s disasters of the last few weeks seem to have improved his standing: Former President Donald Trump has maintained his lead over President Joe Biden in the past month, in the wake of the June 27 presidential debate.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, in a two-way contest between Biden and Trump, 49% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose Trump and 43% would vote for Biden. In June, Trump led the two-way matchup by nine points, 49% to 40% for Biden.
I have no idea what to make of this. It is inconceivable that Biden’s horrific debate performance, and the ensuing controversy among Democrats, could have improved his standing with voters. And yet, our politics are so polarized, and frankly so weird, that his evident senility doesn’t seem to have hurt him, either.
So, can Biden win? I don’t think so. But we are living in a political era in which the fact that a candidate is manifestly incompetent to do the job may or may not affect his vote totals. So who knows? Maybe Biden could pull it off.
A vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala to be POTUS. Biden will be lucky if he completes his current term and has no chance of making another four years before his advancing dementia either kills him or leaves him a virtual vegetable. In his current state he cannot even be an effective figurehead. It is perhaps a matter of months before he is so incapacitated that he is no longer functional.
can biden steal again s the question
10 million illegals have already had their ballots harvested - and none of them will be cast for DJT.
election fraud has NOT been fixed
in Arizona
“why would they need to import people. “
That is a great point. (there could be another reason, but for another topic)
Another thing I have noticed is they cheat like crazy in “liberal” California. To a ridiculous degree they cheat. And in Washington they stopped losing elections when they went to mail-in voting.
Rules for Radicals principle of power (power is also what the enemy THINKS you have) may be at play here.
Maybe they are not as numerous as they appear, although I tend to vacillate on that after talking to coworkers, or visiting the public.
FJB has enough illegals and fake mail in ballots to fortify and muscle out a victory
Brandonmark, it also matters who counts the votes, and who stuffs the ballot boxes, and who harvests the votes of the nursing homes and cemeteries.
Turnout is key, of course, but as long as the lefturds can suspend vote counting in order to gin up another few million votes, we all know the ‘fix’ is in.
This is how freedom dies.
Stupid question.
The fix is in no matter who runs on the dem ticket.
Stick a fork in us, we are done.
Of course he can win. Its just a matter of generating enough fraudulent votes in Atlanta (Fulton County), Philly, Arizona, Michigan, etc. And we all know that the Democrat election theft procedures and personnel are intact and ready to churn out tens of thousands of phoney votes at the slightest sign that the demented perverted criminal is losing.
