August to November provides plenty of time for that. Also none of those people have Biden's endorsement, which would be a major factor *if* it does ever gets to that. Yeah so there is no guarantee either would do better. The chances of it failing spectacularly are higher than it succeeding. Quote

He had energy, his voice wasn't raspy, he didn't stumble, he was focused, and the crowd was engaged. I'm guessing a lot of the panicking Dems didn't watch it. The one thing they absolutely have to do after last night is get film of Biden looking and speaking better out into the media. They cant be running campaign ads with nothing but Joe's "I approved this message" at the end. We need to see Joe looking better. Quote

I get nervous every time I hear him talk now because he keeps stumbling over his words and sounds like he has a bad cold all the time. Often times, I can barely hear what he is saying. The debate last night was worse than usual though. Quote

Can't get rid of Baez because he'll be replacd by Kriedler and McKinstry. 😃 Quote

But that rally isn't going national. That's my point. Those clips have to be the campaign commercials. Not the anti-Trump ones they've been running where you never see Biden. They don't need to persuade the people who are at all alive the facts about what Trump is, they need to get out there and show them what Joe still is - And they can't rely on the media to publicize 'energy joe' because it's not the narrative. They are going to have to build/buy that narrative themselves. Edited June 28, 2024 by gehringer_2 Quote
Edman85 Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 (edited) The clip from his speech today has him clearing his throat often. I tend to buy into the claim that he was sick last night. Edited June 28, 2024 by Edman85 Quote

It's just that the alternative is so horrible that there is no other choice for me. All it takes is to alienate a few thousand swing state voters and the election is lost. Just remember, though, that we’re not voting just for the man at the top of the ticket. We’re also voting for everyone he brings into the job with him. Maybe that’s something the Democrats should spend some time highlighting. 2 Quote

Keep in mind Trump lite Glen Youngkin (who's at the rally and possibility for VP) won the state in '21. Outside of the DC suburbs, Va is a tossup Good thing the DC suburbs are there, then! Quote

Motown Bombers Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 How about we replace Biden with Manchin? Jamaal Bowman can be his running mate. Quote

August to November doesn't provide a whole lot of time for fundraising.... and Kamala Harris would be the only candidate who can avail themselves of the $212 million that the Biden campaign is sitting on right now. People can joke about "replacing Baez with McKinstry" all they want as if these are excuses, but these are real issues that people just avoid when dealing with these hypotheticals that extend beyond Kamala Harris. It just is what it is. Quote

I am just concerned by how he is coming across and I would bet that there are some high level Democrats who are concerned regardless of what they say publicly. I really doubt they'll make any change at this point. Quote
CMRivdogs Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 It's still June, most folks don't really start paying attention until Labor Day. Who knows by then where Trump will be. (We do, but until the Republican High Council, formerly known as the Supreme Court makes it offical....) Quote

It just is what it is. I wished they addressed it a long time ago. I really don't know how America got itself in a situation where they are choosing between a 78 year old psychopath and a 82 year old grand pa on the decline. Quote
