Obama tells allies Biden’s path to winning reelection has greatly diminished
Washington Post ^ | 7/18/24 | Tyler Pager and Michael Scherer

Former president Barack Obama has told allies in recent days that President Biden’s path to victory has greatly diminished and he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy, according to multiple people briefed on his thinking.

Obama has spoken with Biden only once since the debate, and he has been clear in his conversations with others that the future of Biden’s candidacy is a decision for the president to make. He has emphasized that his concern is protecting Biden and his legacy, and has pushed back against the idea that he alone can influence Biden’s decision-making process.

Behind the scenes, Obama has been deeply engaged in conversations about the future of Biden’s campaign, taking calls from many anxious Democrats, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and has shared his views about the president’s challenges, according to people with knowledge of the calls, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

A spokesperson for Obama declined to comment

It’s cute how they keep pretending that the Obama Cabal hasn’t been running everything behind the President Zombie facade all along.

At least the Democrats are consistent. Whenever they see they are losing, they change the rules.

So, in an attempt to “save democracy” they are going to replace the “democratically elected” designated nominee, selected by (if you can believe it) over 14 million (moron) voters, with someone three people choose.

Yeah, I think we know where the threat to democracy is coming from . . .

Full court press today. The Democrat insurrectionists are trying hard to create a drumbeat that Biden will withdraw by the weekend. LOL

Stay in Joe!

Who cares what Obama says? Remember? Joe Biden is the guardian of DEMOCRACY! All of those Democrat voters voted for him! Surely, we cannot deny the will of the voters. Who does Barack Obama think he is, Donald Trump?

Good catch. The "results" last time were unlikely but thinly possible. This time, the statistics make any win by Biden as unlikely as being hit by a pea size comet while walking your dog.

If they suddenly lose interest in replacing Biden, assume they decided that Trump will certainly win, and there’s no point in making an attempt to steal it which will generate too much heat.

My mother-in-law was initially diagnosed with FTD

“””Mayo Clinic Nov 28, 2023 Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an umbrella term for a group of brain diseases that mainly affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. These areas of the brain are associated with personality, behavior and language.”””

Later my mother-in-law was diagnosed with PSP.

“””Progressive supranuclear palsy - Symptoms and causes
Feb 13, 2024 Learn about the symptoms, causes, complications and diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare brain disease that affects movement and thinking”””

FTD and PSP show symptoms that are like a combination of Dementia and Parkinsons. I closely observed my MIL (she lived with us for 12 years) and I would say Biden has PSP.

If they cheat, and Trump wins anyway, expect Trump to order investigations into election fraud. The Democrats cannot risk that.

Either Trump will lose by a narrow margin, or he will win in a landslide. No middle ground.

Biden is not a fan of Obama.

But, he's clean and articulate!
