Biden’s latest Poll numbers

[Anonymous]

To save democracy we... have to let mega-donor billionaires, PACs and global media conglomerates handpick the party's presidential candidate -- not primary voters.

Meanwhile, in the same poll, Biden is losing to Trump by 3 points. That's 14 points Biden loses not because he's a Democrat. But because he's an elderly 81 year old with dementia who has no business being in the Oval Office.

Democrats are delusional to think Americans are going to elect a rapidly declining man with severe cognitive and physical impairments to a second term. Biden will be 86. That's insane.

And it is not happening. After the debate, all the swing states were immediately lost. And now the map has expanded to include Virginia, New Jersey, Minnesota and other reliably blue states. It's going to be a landslide for Republicans.

Democrats have maybe two weeks to remove Biden from the ticket. I don't think it's possible to replace Biden with anyone else but Harris at this point. But with Harris, particularly if she picks a strong VP, there's at least a chance. With Biden there is none.

Who is Harris's hypothetical VP? It has to be a smart and charming white guy. Not too slick. Maybe a little good ole boy back slapper in his 40s to 60s. So, who?

Generic "younger Democrat" doesn't mean jack sh#t. People vote with their amygdala and they vote for people they know. That is such a worthless polling metric.

If said younger democrat was a woman of color, say, the sitting Vice President, would the numbers be the same?

It’s coming Biden will be gone by the next week. Brace yourself.

I finally agree that it’s coming. I’m not sure it’s the right way to go, but it’s coming.

+1

Let the Republicans finish their convention and then announce the Biden replacement after that.

Looks like it may well play out that way

No. People want a young and charismatic candidate. Think JFK, Obama or Bill Clinton.
Harris is not charismatic and cannot connect with voters. Leave race and gender out of it.

Yes, we do, but we'll settle for a young candidate.

+1. Why do these idiot pollsters do this? It's not like we don't know the name of the "younger democrat" that would be the candidate. Just use her name you dummies!

Biden shouldn't just hand over to Harris. We need an open convention. This might not have been the norm in recent decades, but earlier.

The Axios article says this is his possible plan.

POTUS Biden,

Please call an "important press conference" on Sunday evening. Get the press worked up in a tizzy. And then recite this monologue word for word:

Better to die as a fighter, than live as a coward. Every American voter in this country outside of DC, LA, and NYC will respect you for your guts.

Sincerely,
Just one of 14,000,000 voters who do not want to be cast aside
