CNN Analysis: Trump triumphant as Biden descends into a deepening crisis
CNN ^ | July 18, 2024 | by Stephen Collinson

Milwaukee CNN — Donald Trump will pull off his greatest feat yet as Joe Biden confronts his darkest hour.

The ex-president, 78, will accept the Republican nomination Thursday, advancing one of the most stunning comebacks in political history after his bid to steal the 2020 election, an unprecedented criminal conviction and an assassination attempt.

Biden, 81, is meanwhile being rocked by a Democratic rebellion. Concerns about whether he can again defeat his 2020 opponent have boiled back up amid lawmakers’ concerns about his health and cognitive state and despair over his chances of blocking the extreme possibilities of a second Trump term.

The situation is especially agonizing for the president, since he views his campaign in existential terms and as a battle to save the soul of America from what he sees as Trump’s mortal threat to democracy. The ex-president spent four years testing the rule of law and the limits of executive power in office and is vowing to pursue a campaign of personal retribution if he is reelected.

And the fact that the Republican Party is crowning a convicted felon, who was found guilty in his New York hush money case, who lost a massive civil fraud trial and was found liable for sexual assault, has been all but lost in the rush of attention Trump has achieved after the heinous attempt on his life on Saturday.

Biden is a deepening crisis. He has been his whole life.

"But NATO loves me"

Pathetic.

Many people see these legal issues with Trump as kangaroo court antics, and not serious legal matters.

Perhaps that’s why they have been overshadowed recently.

And the classified documents case was dismissed.

What sort of alternate reality does CNN live in?

This is a fiction writer wanna be employed by a supposed “news” organization. This is angst, drama, shameless lying and hyperbole not “analysis”.

The whole liberal establishment has turned on Biden hard. The internal polls must be devastating.

” after his bid to steal the 2020 election”

Stated as fact by the “news” despite no judicial, official or government findings of such.

Which is Trump has to make it clear that he’s not running against Biden, but rather the Democratic Party as a whole. Joe was just their placeholder.

Trump’s chances on November 5th are still very poor. The DNC will end with a new nominee and running mate, and renewed energy and enthusiasm in the base. America’s voters are younger, more left-wing, more female and more immigrant-heavy. And the fraud is essentially untouched, though mail-ins will be less than the 2020 Covid-era. The GOP has done almost nothing to stop or weaken it.

Who will be guarding Trump at the convention? I hope it’s not that woman who can’t find her holster with a pistol. Who the hell did she think she was going to shoot?
