    If the Dems are gonna eat **** this November they might as well put Kamala at the top of the ticket so she can fall on the sword and we can be spared her continued career.

    “He’s gone from saying, ‘Kamala can’t win,’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win?” the adviser said. “It’s still unclear where he’s going to land but seems to be listening.

    Biden's gonna slow walk this **** until it's impossible for his successor to win, even if he does step aside.

    Joe Biden would never LIE to us would he?

    He unequivocally stated he wasn’t going anywhere MANY times the last couple weeks.

    Quite possible. I'd also say that it might prevent the successor from taking heat and making gaffes for longer. Gives the opposition less time to come up with the attack campaign.

    What should he say? Admit he's considering it and blow any chance of him winning should he decide to stay in?

    Yeah, it's just like a college football coach. You have to keep saying "the right thing" b/c you're recruiting and you might just stay. Also, waffling hurts your successor and their recruiting in that case.

    Have to say, this is probably the only damned way the Dems could even temporarily get a little media attention away from TrumpTrumpTrump (TM).

    Nancy Pelosi privately told Biden he can’t beat Trump in 2024 presidential race, would ruin Dems chances in House if he stays in: report

    https://nypost.com/2024/07/18/us-ne...he-cant-beat-trump-in-2024-presidential-race/

    excerpt:

    During the call, Pelosi recruited Mike Donilon, Biden’s longtime advisor, on the line to talk through the disappointing data.

    It’s not clear whether Pelosi told Biden she believed he should drop out of the presidential race, but the phone call comes just one week after she and former President Barack Obama privately shared their concerns over the aging president’s campaign.

    Pelosi is now the fourth major Democrat party leader to share their growing distress over Biden’s chances of winning in the wake of his disastrous debate against Trump.
