WASHINGTON, - Top Democrats on Sunday ruled out the possibility of replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee after a feeble debate performance and called on party members to focus instead on the consequences of a second Donald Trump presidency.
After days of hand-wringing about Biden's poor night on stage debating Trump, Democratic leaders firmly rejected calls for their party to choose a younger presidential candidate for the Nov. 5 election.
Biden, 81, meanwhile, was huddling with family members at the Camp David presidential retreat on Sunday.
The New York Times cited people close to the situation as saying that Biden's family were urging him to stay in

Democrat party appears to be in chaos. To them I say, enjoy the suck. May their chaos be unending. I have nothing but contempt. The Dems have brought us nothing but invasion of illegal aliens, out-of-control crime, inflation at the grocery store and gas station, disrespect of our allies and mortal enemies. Enough!

Of course they want him to stay in. There is still more grifting to be done.

That doesn't exactly sound like they're willing to take a bullet for the guy, now does it? Certainly not much in the way of "unwavering support."

Constitutionally what they _should_ be doing and already done at least 2 years ago is 25th Joe out and put Kamala in.
Yes she is stupid but stupid is not a constitutional issue whereas mental deficiency is.

Yeah! Keep Joe in there. He is a weak link.
He can't run on his real record.....unless he lies.
Another dem candidate would only be able to speculate the future policies.

I want the Dems to be stuck with this fool. I want Donald Trump to beat him, so he can never ever again say he is the only one who can beat Trump.

Deadlines have passed.
Laws prevent replacements.
Kamala is waiting in the wings.
Happy 4th.

Good grief, he's already back at Camp David??? Funny how the press has lost interest in number of vacation days taken by the POTUS with this dunder-head in office.

one thing to note about the demcommies - when they say they're not going to do something, that's when they do it and when they say they are going to do something, it never gets done

I'm convinced it is NOT going to happen. Joe will remain the nominee unless they kill him off. Is that impossible?
I put literally NOTHING past these folks. If you wonder how far they'd go for political power....ask Seth Rich, or maybe Vince Foster can shed some light?

Given all the corruption that surrounds the Bidens, I have to believe that the Deep State could walk into the Oval Office, hand Biden some incriminating documents, and give him a choice: step down or be the first occupant of the Biden Wing in federal prison. To be followed by his son, his brothers, and the wives who weren't smart enough to run away from this family.

Typical democrat action, kick the can down the road and hope that things get better. Something will be done in Chicago if there is still a Chicago left at convention time.

Hunter: "Dad, you need to stay in office so you can pardon me!"
No matter WHAT top dems say and what they deny, the country saw Biden, live, in Sundown mode. It doesn't matter if, sometimes, Biden is functional. A LOT of the time, he is not. Would you like an air traffic controller with Biden's problem managing plane traffic. "Oops, pardon me while I sundown for the next 12 hours." It's far, far worse for the president.
Of course fanatical dems would vote in a tree stump rather than a Republican, ESPECIALLY not Trump. I suspect that the dems "supporting" Biden staying in the race are facing the reality that the tactical problems of removing him are almost insurmountable and would lead to a dem party civil war that would be VERY ugly. Either way the dems are likely to lose this election, but after a civil war, there would be dem body parts laying all about and they might not have a functional part for a long time. Unfortunately for the dems, I suspect that reconstructing their party after the election, even without a civil war, will be almost impossible as well. It has been held together with duct tape since 2020 and continues to fracture. Going through this VERY public exposure of the Biden farce is not going to go away.

Four months remaining to run the U.S. into the ground using the Vegetable dummy to hammer down on getting around the Law by negating the so-called "separation of powers"!
If there ever was a fulfillment of the requirements of the 25th Amendment, this is it-- but Kamala La La has to be installed as the first woman President for history's sake! Neither she nor Hiterly PIAPS are popular and the Wookie is getting ready to take over being the puppet from puppetmaster NoBama.
The Lawfare appears to be shown for what it is and people see a tremendous unfairness and awakening to the fact that they can now SEE with their own eyes that hiding the Vegetable has been a gaslighting media scam and those who participated have lost their integrity to make comment

Speculation abounds.
Just remember: FDR. Fetterman.
They already know how to cheat.
The media is still in their pocket.

The Democrats are all in for Biden? Does that mean they would rather take the loss than run anyone else?

The Bidens are greedy and they aren't going anywhere. Besides there is a group in Washington working hard to make a mockery out of our system of government. Biden is their ideal candidate.

Of course the 'RATS want to keep The HairSniffer.
Huncher needs a pardon, the rest of the Crime Family wants to keep up the grift, and the 'Sniffer is the Deep State's ideal puppet, as he apparently will read and say whatever is programmed into his TelePrompter.
