The Next Step Forward & Beyond

Sounds like some futuristic TV from the 60s….well I guess it may be a bit futuristic.

Keeping with the meme of the day…..Biden.

There be some redundancy between this post and a post on GSFP….but the Dems are facing a conundrum of their own making

The Dem apparatus is in slobbering panic.

After the dismal performance at the debate….the Dems and even Biden are looking hard at their options….

What to do?  What to do?

Prominent members of the party said Sunday that Democrats have nothing to worry about if President Biden remains their nominee, though a few acknowledged concern—which could be increased by the devastating findings of a new poll. Biden made no public appearances Sunday; he was spending the day at Camp David with his wife, children, and grandchildren in a gathering scheduled before his shaky debate performance against Donald Trump on Thursday night. The day was being partly devoted to taking family photos to be used at the Democratic National Convention in August, per the AP. Biden’s family urged him to stay in the race, the New York Times reports. Developments include:

  • Democratic talks: “We’re having a serious conversation about what to do,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said Sunday in an MSNBC interview. He maintained that the party will be united whether Biden decides to stay on the ticket or not, NBC News reports. Raskin described the talks as “very honest, and serious and rigorous.”
  • Donors: Big-money supporters are split, per CNN, with some saying a campaign to pressure Biden to leave the race would create more of a mess and others urging no action until the political repercussions from the debate become clearer. Another faction less connected to the president wants to start identifying a replacement nominee.
  • A ‘go’ vote: Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat who served with Biden in the Senate for more than two decades, said the president can’t recover from the debate debacle. He told Democratic senators in an email seen by the AP that they should send Biden a letter asking him to release his delegates to the convention, clearing the way for a new nominee. “This is a perilous time, and is more important than the ego or desires of Joe Biden to stay as President,” Harkin wrote.
  • Party support: A close ally who was pivotal in helping Biden secure the nomination last time stood firm Sunday. “I do not believe that Joe Biden has a problem leading for the next four years,” South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn said. “Joe Biden should continue to run on his record.”
  • The look: Among the family questions is why the president was made up to appear pale despite arriving for the debate with a summer tan. Biden himself is not blaming aides, per the Times, and others called it unfair to blame staffers for the president’s performance.

Options?

What options?

Do you think that Biden will step aside?

I do not.

Besides who the Hell do the Dems have that have the support to defeat Trump?

This is where I ask for thoughts on this situation (please comment on the situation and not some imaginary fanciful crap about Trump)

Biden: An Important Re-Post

This is a re-post from my other blog, Gulf South Free Press…..because not everyone follows my other blog and this is important and needs repeating.

This situation is something that needs consideration because this election maybe the most daunting of your voting career.

Biden: What Now?

What will they do?

Is there nothing to worry about with Biden?

Fascinating turn of the screw.

I remember 1972….need I say more?
