I will be happy with a Biden win that is just whelming. Sneederbunk Jul 2024 #6

Whelming is good enough for me too. LisaL Jul 2024 #9

Schiff said absolutely nothing. Typical political or lawyer answer. In other words he is for whoever can win against JohnSJ Jul 2024 #28

Not good enough NJCher Jul 2024 #94

He's dreaming choie Jul 2024 #8

I agree. I don't see any evidence suggesting she would do better than Biden. LisaL Jul 2024 #12

Biden say's he's staying in. As he should. He has been a "phenomenal president." Autumn Jul 2024 #10

White supremacy and fascism is not the reason Biden isn't handily beating TFG. thesquanderer Jul 2024 #117

For all those reasons Biden should be way ahead, but he's not. Silent Type Jul 2024 #30

How do you know? LisaL Jul 2024 #44

I might ask you the same question. Silent Type Jul 2024 #47

I haven't made any claims on how overwhelmingly Biden is winning. LisaL Jul 2024 #48

Good, because that would be hard to prove. Silent Type Jul 2024 #49

NOPE.. Schiff is Wrong and so are you. Cha Jul 2024 #80

And I'm OK with that. I want to beat trump. Silent Type Jul 2024 #82

Good to know, otherwise I would wonder what you are doing here. 58Sunliner Jul 2024 #97

Well, you haven't been paying attention. Do you think every Democrat considering an alternative is for trump? Silent Type Jul 2024 #100

No, I think they are wrong and the negativity is just that. LakeArenal Jul 2024 #107

That's why they call em "discussion groups." Silent Type Jul 2024 #108

Or as my boss once sad: bitch sessions. LakeArenal Jul 2024 #110

Exactly, and I think the more opinions the better. Silent Type Jul 2024 #111

He has to win overwhelmingly or pass the torch? There's a serious issue ofchronology here. ColinC Jul 2024 #37

Maybe he means that he has to poll overwhelmingly? Polybius Jul 2024 #38

Perhaps. But that would be unreasonable. Not even Obama had that much of a lead often -or at all. ColinC Jul 2024 #40

I love her, but there's no way in hell Harris polls that far ahead of the orange jackass. paleotn Jul 2024 #41

Does Harris poll 10-15 points ahead? LisaL Jul 2024 #43

No one has won by 10+ points since 1984 NYC Liberal Jul 2024 #59

Well, that didn't make a hell of a lot of sense. paleotn Jul 2024 #39

Dr rep Schiff, please let president Biden borrow your crystal ball so he can see if a landslide happens. nt ImNotGod Jul 2024 #42

Right? LisaM Jul 2024 #51

So...when Biden wins but not by enough votes to satisfy Schiff then he steps down? ROFLMAO!!!! Bengus81 Jul 2024 #45

Sounds like it, because he actually didn't say anything. I am not sure why anyone is getting particularly upset by this JohnSJ Jul 2024 #52

I heard a clip of this on MSNBC. I wish yorkster Jul 2024 #60
