Joe Biden just isn’t going away voluntarily, leaving the mainstream media and Democrats in a pickle.
Bronx Congressman Richie Torres aptly sums up the issue Democrats face now: sniping at Joe Biden on this state of affairs is a political defeat:
No matter the place one stands on the query of President Biden’s political future, the cross-party blended message strikes me as profoundly self-defeating.
Those that are publicly calling for President Biden’s recall ought to ask themselves a easy query: If the president…

This has been an issue because the starting of the “Joe Biden should go” speech: “In the event you shoot on the king, you higher kill the king” is all the time true, however on this case, the issue is not simply revenge Joe Biden however the blended message to voters.
Democrats are both whispering or shouting that Biden is not certified to run for one more 4 years, hoping that the rising momentum to interchange him will push Biden out of the race. However hope just isn’t a trick, and their hopes should not going to be fulfilled.

Until Biden blunders so badly that the cupboard agrees to throw him out — one other political catastrophe — Biden will virtually actually be on the poll this November. Co-Presidents Jill and Hunter Biden don’t need him to go, and Joe is just too cussed to push him out of the race.
Look, I am not a political guide, however I ponder if Biden yelling on Morning Joe about his situation is not going to assuage a soul.

That places Democrats in a pickle — as in the event that they weren’t already in a single. They’ve come collectively to inform the general public that Biden just isn’t the proper man to characterize their celebration subsequent November, however that Biden is sort of sure to be the person on the high of the ticket. As calls to oust Biden develop to a fever pitch, Biden is digging in and refusing to budge.
Immovable objects, it seems, beat overwhelming pressure.
These are primarily the identical individuals who created and defended the insular media technique that governs this administration. If senior advisers begin resigning, it would solely be as a result of the celebration has misplaced confidence in Biden and needs to work for future Dem admins. https://t.co/ehqd4n4jFN

Which means that almost all of Democrats will most likely be compelled to fall in line, and meaning they will must do a pirouette after which accept a 180° flip and begin insisting that Biden’s efficiency was simply jet lag and a chilly.
Prefer it or not, that is the tip. Biden-Harris it is for the Dems. Legally, Biden has the excessive floor — he has to comply with step down, and he clearly is not going to. As we speak’s query: Will Dem officeholders, donors, rank-and-file shortly regroup, or will they… https://t.co/Fj2mpP5MK0

What decisions have they got? Joe Biden is not going wherever as a result of he would not care about something however his household enterprise. He needs to be destroyed to get him out of the race, and if the Democrats go that route, they are going to destroy themselves.

In fact, many will refuse to embarrass themselves once more, however they are going to be within the minority. That is one purpose why so few individuals went on the file with their considerations — they feared they would not reach unseating Biden.
However there are sufficient, together with MSM, that the harm can’t be undone.
However hope they attempt to work laborious.
>> @JoeNBC, who’s personally near Biden and hosts Biden’s favourite morning present, is again on the air for the primary time in per week. He mentioned final Friday that Biden wants to think about dropping out of the race, and “I feel we’re nonetheless there,” Scarborough mentioned. Extra right here >> pic.twitter.com/tmZ5rLJNrF

In the meantime, backtracking has begun, and we must always anticipate extra of it.
It will not work, although. The Democrat civil battle has begun, and I doubt it may be stopped.
One state of affairs might be that Biden barely survives the present assault however then one thing else (one other dangerous public look, revelations about his well being, polls worsen) occurs and he goes beneath in a matter of weeks.

This time the reverse won’t work. The time-frame may be very compressed, as has been true with the “sharp as a tack” and “low cost pretend” failures. If there had been extra time between the reversals, the Democrats might need survived it, however it’s recent in our reminiscences.
Does this imply Democrats are toast? could also be They’re altering the electoral guidelines once more, which suggests the margin of fraud is growing.
Fundamental dynamic: Biden hasn’t made a lot progress because the debate in convincing Democrats that he is as much as the duty of beating Trump, however he has made progress in telegraphing to them that it is going to be a murder-suicide in the event that they attempt to fail to take the nomination https:// t.co/EoBQh4VIrW

This time, although, if Biden wins it is going to be clear to everybody that he rigged the election. What then?
