29. They have not been quiet

Fox has all sorts of articles and news clips about Biden dropping out

Recent golf course interviews with Trump have him calling Biden disgusting and rude names then following it up with saying Biden is going to drop out.

The topic has been on every right wing media platform available AND on so called mainstream outlets AND on so called left wing platforms. It has been everywhere including the right wing.

This is what's called a media frenzy. You know it is because most all media platforms are talking about this. If it was a grassroots Dem driven issue, Dems wouldn't have waited 4 months before the election to take action to get someone else.

The stupidly poorly paid Russian trolls are spreading it. The Russian bots are spewing it all over Twitter and any right-winger asked say that Biden is stepping down.

Just because some Dems got manipulated by this media frenzy too does not make it a Dem issue. People are easily manipulated. It works that's why they do it.

It's all one big con.
