BREAKING

Joel Biden is OUT of the presidential race

Moments ago, he was diagnosed with Coronavirus. Per protocol, he must now quarantine for 30 days, which means that he cannot be physically present at the DNC and therefore cannot be nominated as you must be there in person for that

His grandson Hunter Biden, as next in the line of succession, will be the nominee

This is a legitimate reason for him to drop out and let the DNC pick a replacement.

He could use this for an excuse, but that might be the only reason. Covid is actually up in a lot of states, but this version is less potent than the last.

You know some of our rwingers are googling that right now to make sure it's not true, lmao!

This is not a legitimate reason for him to drop out. That's silly.
This may be an excuse to dump on him to try and get him out, but it's transparently stupid to do so.
Pick a real reason, not this, not yet.
If he ends up suffering some kind of damage or deterioration, then reassess.
Right now he made it up a flight of stairs boarding AF1 just fine.

My first reaction was, "Thank you, Jesus!".

But I'm thinking it over..... but I doubt it matters.

The Dems best hope of winning, no matter the candidate, is that Indies see through the profit-motivated media haze to the traitor, criminal, 3 time married, pagan pathological liar that they will refuse to vote for.

Hopefully, ya never really know, especially with an Electoral College deficit.

Biden is just trying to run out the clock.

"Senior D leaders have not changed their minds that Biden needs to get out. I think a final push will come once the R convention ends on Thursday." www.thedailybeast.com

So now Biden is going to make himself unavailable for the next couple weeks to ease the pressure and buy him enough time until the nomination is finalized first week of August.

Still waiting on you to explain how that particular atheist, Jewish, socialist would have won the general election. Particularly when he couldn't even with the primaries, twice.

And President Joe Biden has an in-grown toenail! Put him on the Injured Reserve List! POTUS Woodrow Wilson attended the 1919 Treaty of Versailles conference stricken with COVID (AKA the Spanish Flu). This illness affected him, but he nevertheless attended and did the best he could. #45 conducted his criminal probation hearing in NYC via VTC.

He had way less baggage than Hillary did. Not to mention that he wasn't universally hated unlike Hillary.

If Laura hates you, you are universally hated. And you really didn't win the general election in a multi-million vote landslide, you are hated because lost in the Electoral College.

I don't hate either of them. But I found Hillary much less ridiculous than Bernie. Larry David's impression of Bernie was spot on (old man sending back cold soup at a deli).

And the Democratic party, which Bernie is not even a member of, passed on him twice. So you think there's some deep love for Bernie's leftist politics in the general electorate that is absent in the Democratic party.

But since we're talking about coulda, woulda, shoulda, I note that Hillary is still reasonably sharp and would be finishing her second term right now if some people had voted in their own interests. And her veep (Tim Kaine) would be preparing to accept the Dem nomination at the spry age of 66. And Donald Trump would be off in Manhattan selling used cars instead of preparing to take the oath of office for the second time six short months from now.

"(Bernie) had way less baggage than Hillary did"

Depends on your definition of "baggage".

If he would've been nominated, Repubicans would've endlessly accused him (falsely) of being a Socialist Communist, and (fairly) of wanting to jack up YOUR taxes.

Bernie would've lost in a blowout.

There's only speculation about whether Bernie could have won or not.

All we know for certain is, Hillary lost.

Biden will be announced as having passed away from Covid and replaced as the Democratic candidate for presidency.

Meanwhile he'll be retiring to an island close to the one Epstein is living on.

The fix is in.

Good ol' sixy changey.

" There's only speculation about whether Bernie could have won or not."

No there's not. Bernie wasn't doing that well, and that was before a single negative ad on him went out. Bernie would've lost NM, MN, NV, and possibly VA. Blow. Out.

I saw Biden get on a plane. No distancing from secret service or the marines protecting him, no mask either. Putting everyone at risk. Covid is deadly.

Per protocol, he must now quarantine for 30 days,

Such utter --------.

"When can I go back to work after COVID-19?

A pandemic-era plea for Americans to isolate at home for five days after testing positive for COVID-19 is also being ended.

Instead, the CDC will urge people sick with symptoms of respiratory viruses to stay home until their fever has disappeared for at least 24 hours without relying on fever-lowering medications and their symptoms are improving. "

Well, the only choice they have is VP Harris. If they pick someone over her you can count on losing a lot of women and minority vote. No one else will have the funds that Biden/Harris has raised.
