Slow pace of Biden’s reelection campaign feeds Democrats’ 2024 anxiety

[Social Media]

 

The conversations keep happening – quiet whispers on the sidelines of events, texts, emails, furtive phone calls – as top Democrats and donors reach out to those seen as possible replacement presidential candidates.

Get ready, they urge, in conversations that aides to several of the people involved have described to CNN: Despite what he has said, despite the campaign that has been announced, President Joe Biden won’t actually be running for reelection.

They feel like time is already running out and that the lack of the more robust campaign activity they want to see is a sign that his heart isn’t really in it.

 

It’s a persistent sense that the inner circle of advisers to the president and several of the very few aides who have been hired for his reelection campaign dismiss as absurd. Of course, he is running, they say. Of course, they’re taking preparations very seriously. And, with the always present Biden chip on their shoulder, of course they’re being written off again by the purported wise elders of the party and pundits who still refuse to take him seriously.

“They are so underestimated, and they keep getting it right,” said Jim Messina, former president Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign manager, who has been one of the people privately advising Biden’s team to ramp up gradually.

No surprise. Everything surrounding Joe is slow. His cadence, his stumbling gait, his thought process, his re-election campaign.

 

Trump or Biden. What a choice. Sad times for US Politics.

Except of course delivering for America.

 

My punt is Joe Biden is waiting to see who the GOP candidate will be.

Well that and it must be a slow news day, though buckle up, it’s soon to accelerate.

“What motivates people is less the love of their party, but hatred of the other candidate,” said Lis Smith, a longtime Democratic strategist who worked on the Obama-Biden reelection campaign in 2012. “A lot of enthusiasm will come for voting against Republicans.”
 

You see ,It really doesn’t matter who the right puts in there ! “ Hatred” lives !

This article speaks much about democrat dissension . Donors are scarce and the party is in panic talking about wanting someone else.

Of course we never hear the right wing refer to dems as "totalitarian fascist communists" and the like.

I see Joe, who is losing more mental acuity each week, barely finishing his present term and somewhere along the line a new team will be put forward as candidates for the election. What nobody wants is any chance that Kamala could become president- she is actually worse than Joe.

Unemployment at 50 year low

Gettin' stuff done.

 

Can't see what the hurry is on the re-election campaign? I mean most of us complain about the lengthening election cycle.

 

CNN is just lamenting the lack of content so they gin up stories like these.

 

Infections from the Woke Mind Virus seem to be trending down. And even Biden Derangement Syndrome is affecting fewer people.

This is not triviality. This is not a Fox article that you can ignore. When CNN starts these articles, it means biden is losing his safety blanket.

So, you don't believe CNN leans to the left? When they write disparaging articles about biden, it means that the blankie has been taken off. They can't continue pretending all is good with biden.

Trump was a very good president until Covid hit. Then he lost the plot, lost the election, and now is well past his due date.  He won't be spending any time in prison, so please put that fantasy to bed. No need to hyperventilate about him, just ignore him and he will fade away. 

 

The real reason for the anti-Trump stuff is that he won the election in 2016. He toppled everyone in the media and Left World's anointed candidate, the so-called 'most qualified person to ever run for President'. The dire predictions of what would happen if Trump won never came true.  But they still never forgave him for the sin of winning and making them all look stupid.

Thanks once again for your amazing mind reading techniques. Also, for your amazing crystal ball. Or do you use a time machine to find out what's going to happen in the future. It's a good thing you actually cab read minds and can actually see the future. Otherwise, it would be clear that you've got nothing.

Indeed, and long as the press, big tech, big pharma and the justice department keep running interference for him he's a shoe-in. 

 

I would not vote for him, but I would bet on him.

Well, for one thing when he was President he urged the Justice Dept to go after his enemies.  And to some extent it did go along with him. For another he pardoned several people directly connected to him or his campaign. He also discussed using the IRS against his enemies. If he gets reelected, why wouldn't he make it a point to choose more pliant officials?

The only thing left to ponder is who the dems will have for a stand in and if so will there be a run off for dem candidate.
