Now being seen at ER. At least I’m not in the waiting triage area. Cool. Getting an IV. 
 

so we went from Biden saying only the Lord could get him to leave race.

then it was if he was shown he couldn’t win. 
 

now with BET interview:

If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,' Biden said in an interview with BET news.

One has to remember that Schiff is a Pelosi protege.  It's impossible to imagine that he would make this move without her express approval.

And if that means that Nancy Pelosi is whipping pressure to get Biden out of the race--and I suspect it does--then Biden is done.  Because there is no person better at whipping Democratic votes than Nancy Pelosi.

Awesome that some may be counting on one octogenarian to oust another octogenarian to stave off Trump 2.0. We wonder why the Democratic Party keeps f'ing up layup elections against a candidate that should have no business winning. 

"Biden should pass the torch to a new generation" -84 year old who should do the same.

Who is 2 years older than Biden...

And if Biden just keeps saying no?

Unless and until you convince Jill and Hunter, it doesn't really matter.

I obviously can't prove this, but I just fundamentally disagree. Every single Biden lock today would still vote for any Democrat nominee to try to stop Trump. Another nominee at least gives the potential of swaying some of the "anyone but these two chucklefucks" crowd. Call him/her the "anti-Trump and probably will still be alive in 4 years" candidate. Sexy name appeal right there.

And, as others have mentioned, if the nominee IS going to be Biden, the White House has to stop gaslighting (god, I hate that word) us about his condition. 

There is a slight caveat to this - there's a decent amount of polling data that shows Biden's support has held up better with older and whiter voters. I haven't seen enough polling on Harris to say but it stands to reason she could be at a net neutral and maybe giving some ground in the EC because she'd shed support from white and/or seniors while maybe bringing some youths and POC, particularly black voters, back into the fold. PA, MI, and WI are all older/whiter than the broader electorate, hence Harris potentially losing a small slice of current Biden supporters and expanding the structural EC deficit.

I still think I'd give her the shot because she also presumably gets the previously undecided/"double haters" to give Democrats a second look, and a decisive win there actually gives you a competitive chance to get across the finish line.

Have you guys forgotten where we live? A black woman is not getting elected. This country is deeply racist and misogynistic. White, male democrats that aren’t a Biden lock will stay home.
OR is my perception skewed because I work in Houston, in a mostly white, male industry?

This is at the root of my previous post on Harris, really. I'd expect older/whiter voters currently keeping Biden in at least striking distance would see some shifts to not voting or to Trump if a black woman is on the ticket.

The be clear, I don't think the potential of racism influencing a small portion of the electorate is a reason to not go with the higher upside candidate; but it would give me pause when it comes to handicapping her chances at victory.

On the topic of race, Split Ticket just dropped an interesting poll and analysis of black voters in swing states: https://split-ticket.org/2024/07/17/we-polled-black-voters-heres-what-we-found/

The other half of Harris running is who would she pick for VP. Too many democrats want Pete as VP. That’s a dead end ticket - again because we aren’t that progressive as a society.
Has a VP been discussed?

I don't know what you're talking about.  When Pelosi left, she was still very capable.  But instead of staying on past her expiration date, she had groomed Jeffries as her successor.  And when the time came, she handed the job over to him without any drama or rancor.  

It's time for Biden to do the same.

about 250 years of it, yeah.

I'm asking about a really specific demographic here. Biden voters who are white males, who will stay home if it's a black woman instead.

Since everyone's in a conspiratorial frame of mind right now. Sure, one could argue that the Trump people sent a Covid assassin to surreptitiously infect Biden during one of his more recent public appearances. Still, my money is on that evil, conniving wine mom, Harris. She'll do anything to knock Biden off his perch.

Is it just me or does Trump seem weird since the shooting? I know it would scare any normal person. He has his normal act that he does and looking at his face it seems like he can't do the act right now.

Well, I mean....if Biden truly is as addled as y'all say he is, couldn't you just say "So, Joe...to follow-up on your commitment yesterday to drop out of the race and let Kamala take your slot"

"Wait?  I committed to drop out yesterday?"

"Well, yes.  Right after lunch.  We were talking, you had just enjoyed your soft sandwich and Ensure, and you said 'I feel it is my patriotic duty to drop out.'  Sir, the whole team has been talking since then about how much we admire your bravery and commitment to America.  I just wanted to follow up on how we should draft the formal statement to release to the press.  What do you think about this version [pushes document across the table to him]."

If he's as out of it as y'all say, he'll say "oh, yes....of course.  Yes, that's my duty.  Let me look over this statement."

He limited his statement to those white male Democrats who AREN'T Biden voters (or "Biden locks").  If they're "Biden voters", he's not expecting them to stay home.

Since the debate we now have had an assassination attempt and an 81 year old getting COVID.  There’s 4 months left. No way the debate performance is going to register in 2 weeks, let alone 4 months.

Lol. I know exactly what I have, and do not have.  And how that proportions to what is put in, and what is received back.  Those proportions are severely out of whack for successful upper middle class in this country.  Equality my ass

No. A very speedy recovery would do a little bit to push aside the feeble old man image.
