It has now been two days since Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance. At first, it seemed Joe Biden may be forced out after it became very clear he is nothing more than a bumbling clown. As of late last night, it appears the Democrats have decided to circle the wagons and continue to support Biden.
I’ll leave the debate rating to the pundits, but here’s what I know: facts and history matter. Joe Biden has given us 3 years of solid leadership, steadying us after the pandemic, creating a record number of new jobs, making real progress solving the climate crisis, and launching…

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the…

Two former Democratic Presidents came forward to support Biden and his continued presence in the race. Obviously, Jimmy Carter is too ill to make a comment, but he is also likely grateful Biden has replaced him as the worst President in modern history. There are, however, many cable news political pundits who refuse to jump on this train bound for nowhere good. These are people who have been steady and sure Biden talking heads. To see them expressing concern is a big deal.
I find it very odd that the people who spent 8 years righteously excoriating the right wings gaslighting are now trying to enforce a rigid commitment to gaslighting of their own. Sorry, but I’m not signing up for telling people not to believe their lying eyes.

The Left is turning on Tim very quickly for refusing to fall in line.
Biden is underperforming the most among non-whites vs. 2020!! This idea that its only white guys who are concerned about Biden's age is ridiculous. Look at the data! Go out and talk to a person of color who isn't a political obsessive. Listen to a focus group of black voters. https://t.co/LR29I7BjzQ

Jen Rubin trying to get the ducklings back in a row is utter hilarity.
Between Van Jones practically crying last night on CNN about Biden being unfit to serve in office and now The New York Times editorial board calling on Biden to step aside, we are in totally new territory. The left is in crisis mode. This is not going how they anticipated. The… pic.twitter.com/qjkqLdZqrh

Nate Silver: White House staffers who unskew the polls showing Biden trailing, charlatans selling you “hopium”, columnists who predicted (!) that Trump was going to drop out of the debate (!!) — if you’re a Democrat, you should be angry at these people for putting you in this…

It appears there is a huge divide among Democratic party loyalists. Will the pundit and people win out, or will the leaders of the party convince naysayers Biden really is up for the job? Only time will tell, but watching them implode could not be more enjoyable.
