The media is coming in for the kill. It's amazing how easily all this falls out once they stop propping him up.
The level-headed part of me says, this is the media doing what the media does, harping on the juicy story, scandal and court politics of the leadership. Then there’s the conspiracy theory part of me that sees the late debate time, the press suddenly turning against Biden, all the talk of finding a replacement coming out of voices that usually wouldn’t entertain such violations of the standards and norms, and wonders if there isn’t some orchestration going on. Like, if Biden does end up getting the boot and another candidate gets the nom in his place, there’s gonna be some immediate suspicion that they were in on some plan, if not the mastermind, to oust Biden.
The DNC is trying to remain in control of the process no matter what happens. If they can feinstien Biden, they will do it. If he dies, drops out, or is otherwise removed, they will get to hand pick the next candidate. That person will have a hard time winning, but who knows?
I was listening to trillbillies today and they were talking about how he's worth more dead, because they could have kamala come out and give a "win one for the gipper" speech and everyone gets to save face.
There's a reason they cancelled the primaries in a bunch of states, despite Marianne Williamson, RFK jr and Dean Phillips not having a chance to challenge the incumbent (at least not in a media environment that wouldn't platform them). They didn't want to even take that tiny risk because they know he's in a bad state.
As little as I think was accomplished by the "undecided" movement, it was at least funny. It was also the first shot over the bow that hopefully got normies thinking outside of the box.
Uncommitted beat all of those candidates when it comes to delegates, and yeah, that's hilarious.
