1. No comment....

[Autumn]

[DoBW]

24. FDT

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. Unless it's a comment that makes everyone feel good it's best not to share it

[JoseBalow]

25. Then why comment?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

27. No comment.

[JoseBalow]

30. Well played

[50 Shades Of Blue]

32. 👍🏻

[FarPoint]

2. He can show his leadership by putting an end to this nonsense chatter.

We win with Biden and Harris...we did it before....we will do it in November.

[Autumn]

6. Yes. with Biden we knock trump out.

[tritsofme]

3. Oh no! Did he diverge from groupthink? Must be a traitor!!1!

These conversations are good and healthy, the White House and congressional Democrats will be on the same page soon.

5. Joe Biden needs to look him straight in the face and say I AM THE NOMINEE! Full stop! If they have further concerns

about his medical status, they can discuss that. Fine. He has re-released his February physical which included a neurological exam.

If they have concerns that he needs to be able to run a strong campaign, he can show them what he has done since the debate and how he is going to continue to run an active and vigorous campaign.

After that, they need to accept his decision and STOP THE BED-WETTING!

[Autumn]

8. What they are doing is not bed wetting. Calling it that is trivializing their actions.

They are stabbing the best president in modern history in the back to replace him with god knows who. .

[Deek1935]

14. It is both. It is bed-wetting over one debate leading to crazy self-induced panic over polls leading to back stabbing.

And all totally manufactured in their ridiculous heads.

[Autumn]

22. Politicians are not toddlers. They know exactly what they are doing.

[Biophilic]

28. This 100 times!!

[Prairie Gates]

13. I admire your commitment to bedwetting as a hyphenated word

[Deek1935]

15. Whatever

[shrike3]

4. Love to be a fly on the wall of all these discussions.

Where's Pence's fly when you need it?

9. Makes sense

When herding cats, you need to understand the motivation of all the cats to get them to operate in line.
Confront the Blue Dawgs and "Problem Solver/No Label" types who are actively corporate stooges running as Dems because that's what wins their districts. A Trump win will not protect them going forward.
Steady the wishy washy bandwagon types that stray into the frenzy because they're worried more about street cred in the media than they are about their jobs.
The choice is the Democratic Nominee or a Dictator. And unless they stupidly assume Project 2025 won't apply to them, they need to remember those behind that policy believe the (D) behind every legislators name means Demon and (R) means Righteous.
If they don't support Biden now that it's past the Primary for most states, the waverers might be able to curry favor from the new MAGA masters, but they're going to have to go through all sorts of humiliation and punishment before they'll be accepted back into "politics".

Doesn't matter how conservative friendly or White they were before. If Democracy dies, they risk dying with it.

26. THIS The choice is Biden or a Dictator

The dictator's only promises involve taking away someone else's freedom, and enriching the rich.

He offers NOTHING that improves the lives of ordinary American people. Nothing.

[Gore1FL]

10. Why do Democrats feel the need to publically role-play the Trump campaign's talking points?

If this discussion was to be had, it should have happened a year ago, quietly, before the nominaion phase ever began.

I suspect this will work as well as the time they role-played the GOP's "Patriotism is invading Iraq" narrative.

These are just two quick examples. It's as predicatable as it is mystifying.

[shrike3]

11. Bruising fights happen all the time. It's rare we get to witness them.

[shrike3]

12. It's kind of his job, I think. Being leader and all.

They'd all want to be heard.

[Amishman]

16. Yup - listen to everyone, understand their concerns, and formulate a plan on how to rally behind Joe

[shrike3]

33. Yeah. I really don't have a problem with this. A leader has to listen to his people's concerns.

He's be remiss if he didn't.

[ucrdem]

17. LOL, they all go home tonight for a 10-day recess.

When they come back this will be yesterday's embarrassing non-story and Hakeem can safely bury it, or talk to anybody who won't let it go. By the way he went on record Monday as officially supporting Biden's reelection bid. And he sure as hell isn't planning to carry anybody's dirty bong water to Biden in the WH as was reported last night.

18. If there's glitches at the NATO event, he'll be out by the weekend.

19. Talking with "every single Democrat" as opposed to listening only to the pop ups who appear in the small screen

corner of media reports.

My guess is the ones who wanted an outsized audience got what they were after, and now everyone else wants to settle down and figure out how to help Joe beat the orange headed buffoon.

[Conjuay]

20. My suspicion is deep pocketed dems

Are looking for a way around Biden's wanting to tax the rich.
"Follow the money".

[brooklynite]

21. So why did they contribute so much to Biden up till now?

[Desert grandma]

34. How do we know they did?

And why does everyone think they won't in the future?? I seriously doubt they want Trump to win....unless secretly maybe they do.

[brooklynite]

38. We know they did because I'm one of "they"...

These (and I) are members of the DNC's National Finance Committee, the Party's top donors. I've met them at Party and campaign briefings they they wouldn't have been invited to if they hadn't maid major contributions up till now.

[The Magistrate]

39. So When The Convention Sustains Mr. Biden, Sir, What Will They Do?

There's no doubt Democratic voters who today express doubts over Mr. Biden's age will vote for him in November regardless, being cognizant of the alternative.

[Quiet Em]

23. I just watched it on CSpan

When asked by reporters if President Biden was a liability for the House Jeffries unequivocally said "no".

He also said Democrats will retake the House if Democrats communicate their agenda for the people and highlight the contrast with the dictator wannabe's 2025 plan

[StarryNite]

29. This is getting more and more ridiculous.

It's like the adult kids talking about taking the car keys away from Grandpa. But they know Grandpa and they know he is as sharp as a tack and has no problem at all driving. The fact is, they're just after his car.

[LisaL]

35. And they are the ones who are going to take the car from grandpa and

wreck it.

[StarryNite]

36. Absolutely.

They will drive it right over a cliff.

[LisaL]

37. With all of us in a backseat.

[Polybius]

40. "they know he is as sharp as a tack"

I don't think they all "know" that, in fact some disagree. Unless you think it's all about polling?
