Remember when before an expected red wave, Dems were unwilling to endorse Biden’s reelection?
Pelosi repeatedly refused to answer questions earlier this year as to whether Biden should run again.
Now, Nancy is all in.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday said President Biden should run for reelection in 2024, calling him a “great president for our country” who has “accomplished so much” for Americans.
“He has just done so many things that are so great,” Pelosi told ABC’s “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos. “He’s put money in people’s pockets, vaccines in their arms, children back in school, people back to work — for starters.”
“All of it with justice, with equity, with inclusiveness,” Pelosi said. “He has been a great president and he has a great record to run on.”
Midterms have consequences. A successful performance or a poor one is seen as a reflection on not only the candidates on the ballot, but on the guy in the White House and his likely opponent. We’ve seen this play out in the GOP and it’s playing out more quietly among the Democrats.
Dems were getting ready to shove Biden off on an ice floe before the midterms. Now, if he can manage to stagger to the finish line, the nomination may be his for the taking.
Before this, Biden would have had to compete if he wanted to run again. Now the Democrat leadership is starting to line up behind Biden. And the voters may follow. More to the point, mainstream Democrats won’t challenge him. There will be some sort of challenge, whether from Bernie Sanders or even Tulsi Gabbard who is clearly reactivating some sort of political campaign, but with the establishment and black voters backing Biden, it will be a dead end.
Now nothing is set. Biden is old and his health or mental capacities may implode so badly that even his handlers won’t be able to drag him across the finish line.
But there’s a real possibility that he may be the Democrat nominee in 2024. In which case these midterms may be a blessing in disguise for the GOP.
If Fetterman can get in, so can Biden or any industrial robot labeled “D”.
It really doesn’t matter if Trump runs and wins the nomination. He’s unelectable. He couldn’t even defeat a pathetic incompetent puppet like Joe Biden and he’s gone downhill since then. And please spare the ‘Stolen Election’ possibly the most divisive political issue since the Civil war. This reply is nit the place to unoackmit, other than to say it is a disastrous venture that contributed significantly to,the midterm results. If I were a democratic strategist, I would promote TRUMP S hard as possible. Stop all the efforts on investigations and indictments, and generally hope that he gets his way within the republican party. It’s a sure path to success in the next,election.
What a load of crap. Trump holds rallies with tens of thousands of attendees every week. Nobody gives a crap about any other Republican and Alzheimer Joe is dying.
Wish I was wrong, but it’s all reasonable. I voted for Trumo and would again. The problem is he’s preaching to the choir. He had over 60 million.in 2020. The problem is, it’s not enough . They are the same people over and over and the voting records and more significantly, the demographics are trending away from his viability as a candidate. :What is wrong with finding a more unifying, less toxic leader who will carry on and support all the good things that Trump did. At this point, he’s get way too much baggage.
If there is a “load of crap” it was left in the capital on JAN 6th and it was not a good look for America, The democrats used it and will continue to use it very effectively.
Thanks for the negativity and for piling on. Maybe we should run a RINO no one trusts. Especially one who disses and opposes President Trump. That will fire up the base, not.
If Trump declines to run or drops out, I am fine and understand. He’s a hero. He is still very electable, He is more electable than anyone else. That is if there were no mail-in fraud and other vote fraud and manipulation.
With vote fraud still in place, as I guess it will be, Biden is a shoo-in. As Biden has said he has the best vote fraud system! Biden 2024, 28, ad infinitum with hope and change forever!
( a little sarcasm there).
It really doesn’t matter if Trump runs and wins the nomination. He’s unelectable. He couldn’t even defeat a pathetic incompetent puppet like Joe Biden and he’s gone downhill since then. And please spare the ‘Stolen Election’ dramatics, possibly the most divisive political issue since the Civil war.
This reply is not the place to unpack I it, other than to say “election denial” is a disastrous venture that contributed significantly to the midterm results. If I were a democratic strategist, I would promote TRUMP as hard as possible. Stop all the efforts on investigations and indictments, and generally hope that he gets his way within the republican party. It’s a sure path to success in the next election. Won’t matter who their candidate might be. All,so SAD…
Fine article. Hard to find an appropriate comment.
What came to my mind just now is “Deus ex Machina”. We are now at the stage of hoping for a miracle, maybe Biden’s win will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
The deus ex machina is in the difference between votes and ballots. The Republicans emphasize votes. The Dems emphasize ballots. That emphasis makes all the difference.
Good point. Maybe that’s why “deus ex machina” popped into my mind.
“But there’s a real possibility that he may be the Democrat nominee in 2024. In which case these midterms may be a blessing in disguise for the GOP.”
Unless the Republicans learn to cheat like Democrats and emphasize ballots instead of votes the steal will continue.
An article at American Thinker entitled “How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System” details how the emphasis on ballots over votes works for Democrats and how a process called Fractal Programming can begin to put an end the steal. A website called Omega4America .com is working in about 20 states. Democrats simply didn’t have enough phantom ballots to pull off a complete steal
“On Election Day, the Wisconsin Democrats did not have enough phantoms or mail-in ballots to go around. A Republican senator might have been saved by these actions.
The good news of the now permanent ballot-gathering strategy is that the Democrats need to keep voter rolls fat with the dead, people living in UPS boxes and R.V. parks. They need to physically gather all those floating ballots and vote them.”
