Biden was as bad as could be. Now of course they are making up excuses for him. Even the leftist media was saying that he was bad

I would really like to see two different candidates from both parties.
Biden seems fixated on staying and stubbornly so and perhaps even delusionally so but Harris actually is now polling fairly well and right up there with Trump.

It's clear with post debate polling Biden is losing in the critical swing states. I think the only hope is that Biden will somehow be persuaded to step down with dignity and Harris will pick a conservative running mate. It'd be a wise choice to invite Joe Manchin onto the ticket and my guess is he'd jump at the chance despite his current independent status. The latter combo would probably cinch it for the democrats in November.

Jill is encouraging him to stay in the race. We're screwed.
PS: I suppose there's always the chance that Joe will wake up tomorrow and forget whatever Jill had to say...

I mean, a sitting governor and sitting senator. That's pretty formidable.
Jon Tester/Gretchen Whitmer ticket.

If only...

"President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family at Camp David on Sunday, following a nationally televised debate Thursday that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump in November, according to five people familiar with the matter."

Jill Biden better make the right decision for the good of the country and drop the Tammy Wynette crapola of "stand by your man"...

Not one time will Bash or Tapper prod and argue with Trump asking the same question over and over when they don't like his answer, then cut his mic.  LOL    

I'm wondering how many times they will refer to him as a convicted felon? 

I'm wondering how many times they'll ask him the same question over and over, do you accept the results of the 2020 election?

My guess is that will be the very first question right out of the box, then when they don't like his answer, they will say things such as..

"ok, although You falsely claim that the election was stolen with no evidence........" 

Then there will be 10 questions about Jan 6th 2021 and why he incited an insurrection, when he incited nothing.   

It will be a total joke, since Bash and Tapper have to satisfy their radical left CNN audience.  smile
" You falsely claim that the election was stolen with no evidence"

Is there something wrong in stating factually correct information?

I don't think it's fair because Donald says he was "tortured" while getting his mug shot taken in jail so he probably has PTSD. He should get handicapped status and have extra time to make up for it during the debate....

Dems Threw Out Their Extremist/Repubs Elected Theirs

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Jamal Bowman, known for his denials of the Oct 7th atrocities committed by Palestinian terrorists, was trounced in the Democratic primary by a moderate Democrat while COLORADO Republicans elected Boebert the bimbo who ran on a platform exclaiming the 2020 election was stolen. 

Comments?...

Boebert won in her new ultra-MAGA eastern slope district, but the rest of the MAGA crowd lost in Colorado.  Boebert only got 43% of the vote, as the majority was split among four other candidates.  The biggest loser is the Trump - backed and MAGA - endorsed chair of the state GOP who lost handily in Richard's own House District 5, covering El Paso county (Colorado Springs) and more.  https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4739970-donald-trump-colorado-dave-williams-jeff-crank/

This vile MAGA Republican whom the citizens showed the door is named Dave Williams, and he recently sent out a hateful anti-gay mailing featuring Jesus and a depiction of gays as groomers and predators.   Responsible Colorado Republicans have demanded that he be stripped of his GOP chairmanship.   I believe that of the 4 MAGA candidates running in Colorado, only one, Boebert, won.  Too bad it was not a clean sweep, but it is a fine start.   So at least in Colorado, the voters showed 75% of the extremists the door.   

I don't think the antisemitic  squad took any hits, except for Bowman.  Shame on the Democrats.  Jim

"I don't think the antisemitic  squad took any hits, except for Bowman.  Shame on the Democrats.  Jim"

As far as I can determine, Bowman was the only one defeated for a primary at this time. Cory Booker is next in line for a primary effort but that's not for awhile.


That said, thanks for the update on the rest of the extremists in Colorado. Glad to know they were shown the door.

Sure.  Most Democrats are on a par with Bowman.

And it is funny how he lied about pulling the fire alarm to interfere in the House vote, while communists like yourself defended his criminal action and then he came clean and fessed up to doing it on purpose, while idiots on the left still defended him and claimed that Repubs were lying.  smile
The only communist around here is the guy who supports those in congress who support Putin. Guess who?...
