Dem Confidence in Biden - Not So Good

[kev74]

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--k things up,” one Democrat who spoke to the former president recalled him saying.

Tensions linger between Biden and Obama camps throughout 2020 primary campaign: report

Despite the best-friend bond Joe Biden touts with former President Obama, tensions linger between the two statesmen over their vastly different governing styles, according to a Politico report.

I mean they're trying to prevent him from talking and being seen in public....

 

[BDinPutnam]

I dont remember where I read it but someone on Obama's campaign asked him point blank during VP vetting if he was capable of "shutting the hell up when asked" or words to that effect.

They either don't really want to win or they really want Kamala and this is the only way they could possibly get her in as president.

Ding Ding Ding, we haaaave a winner!

Obama took forever to endorse his previous VP. It's clear obama doesn't actually think biden is going to be a good president, and he endorsed him only when it seemed completely impossible for anybody else to win the nomination.

 

[Blimey]

Sweet Jesus. I haven't even heard that one. What IS he going on about.

He is a placeholder. Enough people will vote for him because of name recognition and they are counting on people linking him with Obama. If he get's elected he will not be the one calling the shots. He will do as he's told. His wife already has to speak for him. They will either keep him away from reporters and let everything run behind the scenes or he will step aside and let Kamala be president (which she would be unofficially anyway). The second scenario is very unlikely I suspect they will just let Kamala run it and just tell Biden where to sign the papers.

He will be a perfect placeholder for his handlers. He is nothing but a vessel. He holds no opinions that I can discern. Entirely, thoroughly pliable.

He's already been taken over by the radial left. He just follows along.

Trump doesn't debate Kamala .....

He doesn't know, nobody knows. The man is legitimately suffering from the early stages of Alzheimers. And that isn't a funny joke either. My Grandmother had Alzheimers, terrible, horrible disease. Biden should not be I the position he is in.
The democrats are taking advantage of an ill man to serve as their puppet.

Don't rule anything out.

 

[meketrefe]

Vomit and Diarrhea are not good whether they come together or separate.

 

[masterswimmer]

Don't rule anything out.

Agreed. The game has changed. The goalposts have been moved. The bar has been lowered.

Discussion of exclusively using mail in voting is proof of that. Discussion of wearing a mask anywhere outside under penalty of law is proof of that. Banning travel to and from certain locations is proof of that. On and on and on, is proof of that.

Together is especially bad though. You're never sure which end to put on the toilet and which end to the bucket.

The rate of infection is dropping, but they keep ratcheting up the restrictions. Why is that ?

You *know* it's going to drop to near zero soon and they are going to gaslight us with ever more draconian rules and claim that is why.

Never mind that it drops near zero in places with no restrictions at all.

I say that because Biden may drop out!

 

[Chevusa]

Even if he did it doesn’t mean anything for her. That’s not how it works. She has no delegates and will not be the nominee.

That only matters on the first ballot. If Biden does not get enough votes there, anything can happen.

She has already been rejected by the democrat voters. She is dead on arrival.

Don't be so sure. She was rejected by the voters, but she's being pushed by the party.

They're democrats. They don't care what the voters want.

Do VP's bow out? Set the stage, let the POC effect linger then get another VP a bit before the election?

It's true, none of their voters want Biden, but here we are.

"Can we get a crusty old white guy who only stops saying racist stuff when he's completely incoherent" said no leftist ever.

Doesn't matter. She doesn't have the requisite number of pledged delegates from the primaries to be the candidate. It would likely become a contested convention and Uncle Bernie would be the candidate.

Not sure where you are getting that from... I know a LOT of Dems who voted for him in the Primary. Out of ALL the candidates I think he might have been the most moderate (not that that amounts to much)... Not nearly as extreme as Harris or Warren and certainly not Sanders. Here is what I foresee happening... As much as I hate to entertain the idea... Biden IS going to win... Then a month or two down the line he will step down for "Health" reasons and Harris becomes the President. She will then try to appoint another Minority woman as VP... Possibly AOC...
