Biden Narrows Gap in Swing States

President Joe Biden registered his best showing yet in a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult tracking poll of battleground states, even as voters offered withering appraisals of his debate performance amid panic within his party.

Remember when the cl0wnbrigade was all about Bushisms being as clear concise shooting from the hip politicing. Republicl0wns love them some bluster. They think it means winning. They mistake it for strength.

100% Solid for President Joe Biden. People suggesting he should drop out should just STFU. That's the same kind of wavering/sitting on the fence for Hillary Clinton that got Trump elected in 2016.

I'm not suggesting that Pres Biden should step down, the decision is his to make.

I will, however, note the rising pressure that he faces...

All eyes on Jeffries as Democrats weigh Biden's future
www.newsnationnow.com

... House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has found himself at the center of the storm as Democrats weigh the wisdom of keeping President Biden at the top of the ticket following his disastrous debate performance in Atlanta last month.

The Democratic leader is being squeezed between two powerful but opposing forces.

On one side is the predilection to rally behind his White House ally for the sake of party unity.

On the other is the growing panic within his caucus that the president would be a drag on Democrats up and down the ballot, sinking the party's chances of flipping control of the House in this year's elections.

Only five House Democrats have come out publicly so far to urge Biden to bow out and make room for another candidate to challenge former President Trump, the GOP's presumptive nominee, in November. But that number is expected to grow in the days and weeks ahead " especially if polls continue to show that public confidence in Biden's capacity to hold the office is waning in the wake of the debate. ...


Will Pres Biden be a drag or a boost for down-ticket candidates if he chooses to stay in the race?

Like I've said a few times, the election is decided in late October.

Trump can rape another 13 year old girl between now and then.

It's too late for him to step down, people need to stop making this statement. It does nothing but sew discord.

"I'm not suggesting that Pres Biden should step down, the decision is his to make."

It's the donors decision. If they start to bail, he doesn't have a choice.

As rapidly as he's decaying, it's going to be Heels Up Harris eventually. He can go out gracefully or drooling.

"Heels Up Harris"

Leave it to a misogynist to blame an underling for having sex with a more powerful male boss.

Part of the Republican outreach to women, no doubt.

Spare me your selective outrage. No blame, just a fact.

Why do you hate women?

#9 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-07-07 04:47 PM

"No blame."

No, at least not for her more powerful male boss.

And are you pretending "heels up" isn't a pejorative?

#10 | Posted by Danforth at 2024-07-07 04:59 PM

Of course it's a pejorative. Never seen you call out a leftist here for the essentially the same thing, hence the selective outrage. Politicians are obviously fair game on this site.

"Leave it to a misogynist to blame an underling for having sex with a more powerful male boss."

Men created a world where women can sleep their way to the top.

But only certain men complain when a woman plays by the man's rules and win.

Kamala's success makes him a victim of the world men created -- but he wants to blame the woman for it!

And he doesn't even realize he's doing it.

Or did they?

Lololol the amount of shhht some of you have talked about polls and grasping at straws from this one (keep in mind Bloomberg wrote a 20MM check to Biden) is humorous.

This was a Morning Consult Poll - they have as much credibility as the polling agency: MAGA Polling for a White America.

#2-Biden seriously improved in Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina. Biden showed declines in Pennsylvania and Nevada, where Trump showed gains.

Maybe he is declining in Pennsylvania because all his Philly votes are being redirected to other states?

With the re-introduction of ballot (stuffing) boxes by the Wisconsin Supreme Coven, we can expect 105% turn out for Biden in Madison, just like in 2020.

Remember when Trump's doctor release a statement about Trump's health that was dictated by Trump? Or when the White House physician provided false information about Trump's vital statistics"like his weight"and said that Trump might be the first president to live to be 200? That he wasn't obese but practically qualifies for the Olympics ...

Biden had a full physical and neurological exam four months ago:

n extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor are there any signs of cervical myelopathy. This exam did again support a finding of peripheral neuropathy in both feet. No motor weakness was detected. He exhibits no tremor, either at rest or with activity. He demonstrates excellent fine motor dexterity. But a subtle difference in heat/cold sensation could be elicited as it was last year. This heat/cold sensation deficit was detected a couple inches higher on his ankle/calf this year, which is not unexpected, There may, in fact, be day to day subjective variation of these findings, as during last year's exam, this area of sensation deficit was actually found to be smaller than the year before.

Evidence? Maga Republicans don't need no stinking "evidence". Magatonians can say anything controversial they want like "The Biden Crime Family" and Biden is a "pedophile" or "the election was rigged" even though there are no evidence or facts to support any of those statements and it's absolutely true to them because ... Trumpy said so.

We only require "evidence" around here when Biden or the democrats say something.

There are two standards of vetting facts that the left uses on this site.
1. A whisper of rumor that reflects poorly on Trump or a Republican is treated as first person eyewitness evidence.
2. Court testimony, written documentation in the public record or video evidence that confirms anything negative about Joe or a Democrat devolves into a debate on the meaning of 'is'.

There is one standard of vetting facts that the right uses everywhere:

If trump says it, it's a fact. He is the only source of truth. Even your own eyes and ears are lying if they witness something trump didn't want you to see.

First of all, Joe is fine. Second, Kamala is popular and will make a great president when her time comes. No one is stuffing ballot boxes in swing states.

Biden will never step down. At least not voluntarily. Trump needs to keep beating dementia man over the head and he will because he's Trump. He's not McCain and Romney who refused to fight back against the lying conniving Democrats

Your "alternative" fact-checking is why you keep losing.
You look for something that isn't there it makes you appear delusional.

The best legal professionals in the business(es)... still he lost... over and over and over and over

to cap it off...

Trumpanzee couldn't answer a question.

My guess is... he doesn't know what to do... so what is the point of even trying? He is a blathering vegetable.

Like Doc says "verifiable facts" and "public record."

otherwise, you're the wrong person to be in charge of defending Trumpanzee and expecting positive results... just like his army of legal experts... only you don't get paid...

Hmmmm maybe he should have hired you... eh?
