I hereby award you the order of lenin for posting excellence, comrade
for those who were talking about selling Trump merch at rallies... this on a shirt would do numbers
Are those polls for Michelle or are people weighing in on a 3rd term for Barry.
They are not polls, they are betting odds from bookies turned into probability. It is Michelle.
Holy shit
Christ even Kamala is above him

President rolls “worst debate ever,” asked to leave Washington

Kamala is now 2nd favorite on the betting market. Copstonk going up 
Oh my god she's closing in on doubling up on Joe
And she originally dropped out of the 2020 race before she could lose her home state hahahahahaha
Ed: it was 17.6 for her and 9.7 for Joe at time of comment, market seems to be shifting back to Joe
In retrospect, that one move might have propelled her to the white house. Everyone clowned on her at the time but now she's looking like J Cole bowing out of the beef
Lmao Biden completely tanked

Just retire already you fucking ghoul
White House denies report that Biden is weighing whether to stay in election race (Reuters, updated an hour ago)
This inspires confidence
I give him another week, at most.
He ain't dead. He's just asleep.
Some Democrats have grown increasingly suspicious that the president’s team has not been fully forthcoming about the impact of aging on him.
Manchin - hahhahhahhhaaaha
The dilemma for Democrats was illustrated by the actions of Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, a longtime Democrat who recently abandoned the party. The senator was so disillusioned by Mr. Biden’s debate performance that he asked his staff to book him on several Sunday shows to rail against the state of the campaign.
Mr. Manchin was also angered that he made phone calls to top Democrats that went unreturned. Eventually, Senator Chris Coons, Democrat of Delaware, Mr. Schumer and other Democrats intervened, and Mr. Manchin canceled his television appearances.
Oh, so they do have some kind of leverage on Manchin, they just don't use it for legislative purposes.
What are you talking about, Manchin is key to their legislative strategy of never having the votes they need to enact progressive policy
This is pure media framing folks. The decision was made already for him to drop out - Pelosi broadcast it hard with "I think it’s a legitimate question". But the DNC isn't interested in the narrative being "Biden drops out due to bad debate performance", but instead wants some performative bullshit like "Biden drops out due to media pressure distracting the American people from discussing the core issues at hand in the race." So they'll spend the next week or two spinning up a shitstorm of a media riot with whiplashing messages.
In reality grandpa shit the bed and killed his own campaign in a single night. Oopsie.
In reality grandpa shit ~~the bed~~ his pants and killed his own campaign in a single night. pOopsie.
Biden and his advisors are carefully deliberating whether it's joever or we're so back
my guess is that donors have given him like a week or two to turn things around or it's joever
He's running (away)
You can't leave us now, Joe, the captain goes down with his ship
Who is the replacement though?
Kamala? Hilary?
Obviously it won't be Bernie despite the fact he's OBVIOUSLY the second candidate from the primaries and would be the most democratic option. Also the only person they have who would actually beat Trump.

lmao die binch
if he has two more events like that
Mf thinks that was strike one and he's good as long as he avoids further plate appearances.
So if the smoke coming out of the Whitehouse changes color does that mean we have a new Popesident?
I dont want Biden to win but isn't it getting too late to switch the dem candidate? I feel like they need to make a final decision by like next month
Switching candidates at contested conventions happened several times in the past. It's not unprecedented and had mixed results.
Has it ever happened to an incumbent? I can only think of one that simply refused to run again because they insisted on being a single-term president.
IDK, will have to look closer. Some reading https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/02/04/contested-presidential-conventions-and-why-parties-try-to-avoid-them/
