  3. I think it's too little too late anyways, but if Biden's interview tonight makes him look half dead you'd have to imagine this is it. However, seeing as doing anything after 8pm is a struggle for him, is this going to be live or filmed in advance? I think it would be better if he could do an hour long Q&A with reporters instead of sitting down for an interview with one of Clinton's top advisors. Now, if he were willing to do Hannity, that would be another story.

  4. The least likely serious three candidates to beat Trump in order IMO:
    1. Biden
    2. Harris
    3. Newsom
    Yes, the 3 favorites to win the nomination are the 3 worst candidates to take on Trump. It's going to be an establishment candidate so I'm not considering politicians like Bernie, Warren, or a squad member. As I've laid out, I think Beshear is the Democrats best candidate. I would like a Beshear/Whitmer ticket. How much will black women care? I have no clue. I feel like identity politics plays more within the beltway than it does in real life. Running a charismatic 46 year old straight WASP man from a southern state gives Democrats the best shot to relate to blue collar Americans again. This is how you win MI, WI, PA, and NC. I'm almost certain Harris has no ability to convert independents. See this video for why people think she's a joke:


    For black people, I could see Booker winning. I'm not that impressed by Moore from the little I've seen. Everytime I hear him talk it seems like he's articulating DNC talking points. Yes, Michelle Obama could win, but she's not running. I don't know of any other black women who could pull it off (Oprah, but no politicians), but black women are only like 6% of the population. It's ridiculous to say that Democrats can't win without one. I could see other names like Roy Cooper or Josh Shapiro winning as well.

  5. George Stephanopoulos: "Did you ever watch the debate afterwards?"
    Biden: "I don't think I did, no."

    So he got lost a minute in...this is reassuring.

    This ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos did not go well for Biden. It was better than the debate... but not by much. The entire interview still left open the question if Biden is fit to be President. I expect there will be an increasing crescendo of Democrats in the coming week demanding that he step aside in the race. The big question is "who should take his place on the ticket"?

    "It was a bad night." --->repeated 10X in the first 10 minutes.

    Who catches a cold in late June anyway? A debilitating cold at that.

    One has to ask... What happens if Putin invades Poland at 2AM DC time and Joe has the flu? Jill pushes the big red button?

  8. If the objective of this interview was to reassure people that Jurassic Joe is fit and ready, it was an abject failure. I will say George didn't go easy on him which leads me to believe the powers that be are torpedoeing Joe intentionally. This cannot go on much longer and they're jammed into a corner with Kamala. Boot her for some white devil and the black vote goes bye bye. Better to just throw this election, blame racist Republicans for her loss, and spend the next four years making life miserable for Trump and the nation in general. After all, it is what they do best.

    Harris would seemingly inherit $90M in campaign funds.

    And that is exactly what will happen.

    Imagine a parallel universe in which everything a President Donald Trump did between 2024 and 2028----> but he had come back and did it as Joe Biden. He'd be canonized.

    But we're not in a parallel universe... and everything Trump does will lead to riots in the streets. Fueled by the corporate media.

    I am being totally serious here.
