The Genius of Joe Biden

You didn't need to start a thread about this.

lol, no. He was just forced out.

The Mighty Joe Biden troll strikes again.

If the DNC really had something like this in the works, it's actually quite sneaky and perfectly timed, as OP said.

Rubbish

Why didn't the genius just resign and allow Kamala Harris to preside making her the incumbent for the November election? It would given voters time to see her in action

Mighty Joe fucked up mightly.

Nonsense! His denial was finally broken.

If the fictive premise were to be as ingenious as proposed by the OP, one would then expect Biden to suddenly resign in late September, propelling Harris and the party into enhanced power through the sympathy and support of the nation.

But you're too clever, aren't you?

Record breaking donations coming in. 27.5 million in just the last 5 hours.

This better fucking work...

What a crock. It’ll be Harris. She’s gotten a ton of money and endorsements already.

" It's not going to be Harris"

OP you're an idiot. It might be time to get away from the computer for a bit.

OP did you also start the Biden is going to resign the Presidency and Kamala will be sworn in as the first female President?

R6, I've been saying this, too. But then it was pointed out to me that he still could resign the presidency.

[quote]Why didn't the genius just resign and allow Kamala Harris to preside making her the incumbent for the November election?

Because the nominee WILL DEFINITELY NOT be Harris. For the reason of optics, Joe couldn't possibly endorse anybody BUT Harris; however, let's face it Joe's "endorsement" means little or nothing at this point. There's an Anointed One waiting in the wings right now.

OP is living in an alternative reality.

Gavin, Pete, and Josh have all endorsed; millions pouring back in, lots of down ballot money now and support - always liked her a bunch, donated when she ran last time - this is gonna be the uterus election, and Prosecutor v Felon Rapist is gonna be Must See TV.

She picks VP wisely and she might just win.

[quote] Why didn't the genius just resign

Only one President has ever resigned the presidency and that was the criminal Republican President Nixon, who was told by his own party to resign or be impeached. Resigning would be a disgrace, heaped on the disgrace of being forced out by your own party.

Having to run for President and be President is rough, when she is already starting from behind.

The first female president shouldn't be ushered in, she should be elected so there is not an asterisk next to the historical moment.

You're a retard r16. 90% of the Dem party has come out for Harris in the past few hours.

r16 Seriously seek help. I'm assuming you're acting this stupid because you're bored, and you just want to argue. Seriously - get some sleep.

What retarded psychotics like R21 and R22 (as well as others) don’t understand, is that the Dems under Biden’s leadership have FINALLY learned to be united behind whoever the nominee is. Remember when Joe was behind in the 2020 primaries, then lo and behold everyone suddenly got behind Joe and supported him? Same thing will happen here when Harris isn’t the nominee; even SHE will get behind the candidate.

Democrats are finally learning to unite while the Rethugs have now become the infighters. I love it!!!

While I don't think he decided to drop out without a tremendous amount of external pressure, the Dark Brandon energy is definitely in effect. Now all the wind has been taken out of Trump's sails and nobody gives a fuck about him or his assassination attempt any more. He's going to look fat, old, and decrepit next to Kamala and whoever she picks for VP.

'Watch now as a panicked GOP tries to convince us that if President Biden can’t campaign, he shouldn’t try to govern, either.'

Oh, OP, you are a hoot! Genius? He's been cognitively compromised for years.

The genius dropped out of the 1988 race

From the WSJ:

President Biden had just finished trying to persuade a group of congressional Democrats to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill when Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, took the microphone.

In 30 minutes of remarks on Capitol Hill, Biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers, according to Democrats in the room. After he left, a visibly frustrated Pelosi told the group she would articulate what Biden had been trying to say, one lawmaker said.

“It was the first time I remember people pretty jarred by what they had seen,” recalled Rep. Dean Phillips (D., Minn.), who would go on to mount an unsuccessful primary challenge against the president.

That was October 2021. That month was the last time Biden met with the House Democratic caucus on the Hill regarding legislation.

Trump will be the next president of the United States.

If Biden resigned Harris would have to pick a VP and get both houses of Congress to approve the choice. Repubs in the House would turn that into a mess. Also she’d be governing and running in the same short period. Just leave Biden in and let her run without distraction.

That whole call for Biden to resign is a MAGA wet dream, they know it would cause chaos. That's why Fox News and Repugs are pushing for that.

He's been president for 3 1/2 years, 6 months is not going to make a difference, he created a well oiled machine of people doing the day in and day out of work that needs to be done. Practically on auto pilot at this point and if anything serious happens to him, VP is there to take over.

[Quote] he created a well oiled machine of people doing the day in and day out of work that needs to be done. Practically on auto pilot

You're like the people who claim the earthquake was all part of God's plan after all. Pure copium. Shit happens, and Biden is many things but he's no cunning mastermind.

Biden was smart enough to kick Trump out of office after his first time. To that I say thank you. That makes you a Genius in my book.

I thought it was the electorate that kicked Trump out of office R34?

Obama, Pelosi and Schumer do not want Harris to be the Democratic candidate.

Neither do I, R36.

So who do they want, R36?

She already has 1/4 of the delegates she needs. Raised over $70M since yesterday.

Why are they silent about who they want?

R38, Yesterday’s donations would have been made no matter who the Democratic candidate is that replaces Biden.

He waited to the last minute not because it was an act of strategic brilliance, but because he was forced out against his will. On the plus side, it flummoxes the Trump campaign. On the minus, we’re stuck with Harris who is a weak candidate and leader because there’s no time for a primary campaign and going with anyone else would fatally divide the party.

Again— if they don’t want Kamala Harris, who DO they want?

There are many better choices that we now cannot make

Eveb if it were thrown open, a majority of convention delegates seem to prefer going ahead with her.

The opposition has likely believed Joe would eventually go since the debate. Harris will be the crazy coastal liberal who'll spend her term at hip-hop parties with illegal immigrants.

The majority of the party realizes that it has no choice but to go with her. She has the fierce backing of the Black caucus. Trying to go with anyone else would mean civil war. Plus, she can keep the money and going with her seems orderly.

This is either trolling or idiocy.

Old Joe was forced painfully and slowly into a corner of his own making. He did some solid and good things as President but he fucked up by running for reelection as an octogenarian in the first place, and everybody with a brain knows it.

Joe Biden and genius should not be in the same sentence together. Ever

For all this money that has been pouring in, that can't go to anybody else other than Harris can it? I don't think donation money goes to 'candidate to be named later'.

Most of the money is being raised through Act Blue:

The first $6,600/$10,000 from a person/multicandidate committee (“PAC”) will be allocated to Harris for President, with the first $3,300/$5,000 designated for the primary and the next $3,300/$5,000 for the general election. The next $41,300/$15,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to the DNC. The next $510,000/$255,000 from a person/PAC will be split equally among the Democratic state parties from these states: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY. Any additional funds will be allocated to the DNC, subject to applicable contribution limits

He also planned to get up on stage and make a fool of himself?

If someone demands Joe Biden resign, thank him for endorsing Kamala Harris for president.

Keep trolling, r46.

You seem to imagine that gif is witty and cutting.

It isn’t.

[quote]You seem to imagine that gif is witty and cutting.

It's just an old DL standby, r52. Quickest way to let you know that we aren't falling for your trolling.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll.

[quote]It's not going to be Harris, but it *WILL* be someone who can/will run Trump into the ground.

Which means it *will* be Harris, seeing as she's the only viable candidate who can do exactly that. Unless Trump pusses out of it, she'll flat-out eviscerate him in a debate.

[quote]Obama, Pelosi and Schumer do not want Harris to be the Democratic candidate.

Yet Pelosi endorsed her.

I never said they were, r54.

R56, Over 24 hours later.

So? Was there a time limit the rest of us were't informed about?

[quote]Over 24 hours later.

So, r58? Do you doubt Nancy's strategizing ability?

r58 is also:

*I read the Fauci book*

[quote]“fauci” means “fraud” in Italian.

*BREAKING: Joe Biden is not seeking re-election - Part 2*

[quote]R234, Trump had decades of success as a businessman, useful experience for a President.

I think Nancy and Obama wanted an open convention and Joe’s endorsement was a final “fuck you.” It took Nancy some time to read the state of play and she now sees Harris is inevitable.

I bet Nancy Pelosi saw the tens of millions pouring in through Act Blue and realized it might just all work.

FAUCI means "jaws" in Italian.

Also, Joe stayed in the race long enough for Trump, the NYT, the rest of the Repiglicans, and the media to make both AGE and MENTAL COMPETENCE the driving issue in this race. The tables have now been turned and the Dems are now armed with the weapons the aforementioned groups created to use against Trump. GENIUS!!

That’s fortunate for the Democrats, but not the result of Joe’s genius.

Not really, r65, considering the Dems were insisting up until very recently - and some even only a couple of days ago - that Joe Biden was perfectly fine and anyone who said otherwise was a Russian troll. If Joe had been able to keep his condition publicly hidden for just a few more months, they would have been happy to put him forward as the candidate.

As for competence, one of the few policy things Kamala had assigned to her, i.e. border security, she failed to achieve anything significant with, so Trump will just go on about how incompetent she's been on the border

[quote]Because the nominee WILL DEFINITELY NOT be Harris. For the reason of optics, Joe couldn't possibly endorse anybody BUT Harris; however, let's face it Joe's "endorsement" means little or nothing at this point. There's an Anointed One waiting in the wings right now.

I smell the "stalking horse" troll.

Hmmmm. Absolutely no one is talking about the RNC convention. The Dems have taken over the media and should take their time naming a V-P.

The shocking incompetence of Biden appointee Cheatle and the attempted assassination of Trump are still in the news

OK R70, I'll bite. Is she Shockingly Incompetent because: 1) She wasn't personally present to stop the faux assignation attempt; or, 2) because her staff failed to let the shooter accomplish his task?

The director is ultimately responsible and she should have known that she’d have to fall on her sword, but she is not actually responsible for ground operations at a routine campaign rally. The incompetence was by the agents who were quite likely MAGAs as most cops are.

R71 R72 the buck stops here

No. You just want to blame Biden somehow. Not that there’s any point anymore (hah).

They also wanted to wait til Trump picked a dreary, charisma-free VP.

As much as Turd is prone to firing people, I think he would have no problem firing J.D. But it would be disastrous for his Stay Out Of Jail campaign.

R74 "The Secret Service director, prior to her resignation, said that she did not put anybody on the roof because it had a sloped roof that would have created a safety concern," Guest began. "I was in Butler, Pennsylvania, yesterday with many members of this committee. My fellow member, Carlos Jimenez, who, is 70 years old…. There's video of him easily traversing the roof, walking across the roof. Even though he is some 50 years older than the shooter."-CNN

R74 NEWSFLASH Biden didn't resign. He still the POTUS!

The Secret Service fucked up. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that the President is not responsible for that. Your seeking to blame Biden says more about you than him.

R78 President Biden put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of controlling migration at the southern border in March of 2021 following a big influx of new arrivals and look how that turned out!

And Pete Buttigieg was Biden's nominee for Transportation Secretary.

Welp, it’s a good thing this thread isn’t titled, “The Genius of OP”, ain’t it?

It's a good thing that the thread isn't titled: The Genius of the VP

I'm chauvinistic enough to believe that the Secret Service should always be headed up by a man.

When Rs blast Biden for "his" Secret Service failure, Dems need to fight back with "Their campaign has been repeatedly asked not to do those outdoor rallies, as they're harder to guard, but no cooperation from them."

Because Trump doesn’t pay his bills and indoor venues demand payment in advance.

Stop making up shit, op. It makes you sound like a MAGAt.

R84 This is true. Many of the outdoor venues where his rallies were held have never been paid.
