(4,985 posts)The only handwriting spelling doom for Biden will be the inability of Democratic leadership to get control of what the media has taken out of their hands and ran with. Cooler heads need to prevail here.
If we can stop the caterwauling and the panic, and take a look at reality, there is a strong candidate in the middle of this chaos who has beaten Trump and can do it again and his name is President Joe Biden.
Guaranteed, if the energy of Democrats is focused on wailing over one debate performance that had no bearing on anything at all except, perhaps, to expose more Trump lies, then we will lose, not because we don't have a strong candidate, but because we don't have the ability to gain votes from those outside the party who will be with us if we get it together.
Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee. I'll be in the gallery in Chicago helping cheer him on. He will win in November if we stop this mess and get on with business. We have the ability to send him back with a Congressional blue wave. We have to do some things right and this isn't one of them. Stop listening to the media.
