Biden's Not the Candidate Yet: Democrat Donors Threaten to Close Their Wallets; Privately, Obama Wants Biden Out of the Race

Let's not start setting each other's clocks just yet, gentlemen.

Key Democrat donors threaten to pull plug if Biden doesn't resign, as furious party insiders reveal 'worst fears' about ailing president have now been confirmed: 'How stupid do they think we are?'

Growing Democratic uproar over President Joe Biden's shockingly feeble debate performance on Thursday night appears to be turning into a full-blown party revolt.

'For Biden's own good and the good of the country, he should step aside immediately,' major Democratic donor and former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson told DailyMail.com. 'The fact that it has now been three days and Biden has done nothing to reassure us confirms my worst fears.'

Tilson has given the party more than $300,000 in recent years.

Days after the President struggled to hold his train of thought and tailed off mid-answer into incomprehensible gibberish during the CNN debate, left-wing benefactors are still up in arms.

On Saturday, Biden appeared at a New York fundraiser — in a glitzy Long Island beach town — and, according to one attendee, read a simple 15-minute speech off a teleprompter, before leaving without taking any questions.

'Doing that for the next five months is not going to be enough,' the fundraiser guest said, stressing that Biden's understandably anxious supporters deserve reassurance that he is capable of defeating Donald Trump in November.

But later on Saturday night, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez only further stoked concerns on a conference call with wavering DNC members.

'The call was akin to a rah-rah speech,' said John Verdejo, a party member from North Carolina who told the Mail he was surprised when call organizers failed to address the 'elephant in the room', namely Biden's inability to speak clearly.

Other DNC members went even further than Verdejo in their criticisms. Some said that they felt 'gaslighted' by campaign officials on the call who seemed to deny that there was anything to be concerned about. The official Team Biden line appears to be: Nothing to see here.

'On every metric that matters, data shows [the debate] did nothing to change the American people's perception,' Jen O'Malley Dillon, chair of the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign, insisted in a memo released this weekend.

Hardly anyone believes that spin.

'The data!?' tweeted Mike LaRosa, former Press Secretary to First Lady Jill Biden. 'If there is data that counters the impact of what we all saw then WHERE THE HELL IS IT???'

Democrat donor Whitney Tilson similarly didn't his mince words.

'They're p***ing on our legs and telling us it's raining. It's insulting. How stupid do they think we are?'

In fact, a CBS News/YouGov poll conducted over the two days following the CNN debate found that 72 percent of registered voters now do not believe that Biden has the 'mental and cognitive health to serve as president'. That number is up from 65 percent in early June.

I don't know how stupid they think you are, but I think you're pretty dumb.

Why is it that only consumers of Marxist Media are always shocked to hear the truth? Kinda says something about their reporting, doesn't it?

So Biden is losing donors.

That's okay, so long as he holds on to the support of the man who's really the president, Barack Obama.

Wait, Tucker Carlson's "unusually good source" says that Barky wants Biden gone, too?

From an unusually good source: Obama's tweet supporting Joe Biden was disingenuous. In private, Obama is telling people Biden can't win, and he is therefore in favor of an open convention. Obama will not say whom he supports, nor as of yesterday afternoon had he met personally with Biden to deliver the message. Relations between the Obamas and the Bidens have never been warm. At times they've been hostile. But recently they've deteriorated further, mostly due to Jill Biden. In the hours and days after the debate, she kept her husband cloistered away from anyone who might convince him to drop out. Jill Biden is the driving force behind her husband's reelection campaign, just as she was in 2020, when other members of the family (including Biden's sister Val) considered him too impaired to run. The next generation of potential Democratic candidates understands all this as an opportunity and they're circling, particularly Gretchen Whitmer, who is promoting herself aggressively.

What a See-You-Next-Cunt.

The Daily Caller recently reported on the animosity between the Bidens and the Obamas.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is reportedly frustrated with how her close friend Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden's ex-wife, was "exiled" and "wronged" by the Biden family following the divorce, two people familiar with the relationship told Axios. The former first lady's feelings towards the situation coupled with her emotions towards politics, have kept Obama off the campaign trail despite President Barack Obama's participation, the sources told Axios.

President Obama has frequently appeared on the campaign trail with Biden and has appeared in several social media videos with the president, Axios reported, making note that Michelle has often not appeared in these settings. After attending one event with Biden in 2017, Obama called the Biden family dynamics "weird shit," a source told Axios. The event was for the Beau Biden Foundation and circulated around the Biden family, coming shortly after Hunter Biden had divorced Buhle and was in a relationship with his late brother's widow, Hallie Biden, Axios reported.

An Axios reporter, Alex Thompson, says the White House campaign staff is "freaking the f*** out."

Are they really? Or are they pretending to?

What we see again and again as this conspiracy collapses is that everyone blames other people for the conspiracy. The media claims, "We didn't know, we were lied to by the Democrats." The Democrats claim, "We didn't know, we were lied to by the White House."

And even at the White House, they're claiming, "We didn't know, it was the Inner Circle, which keeps all of us away from Biden."

They are all scrambling to save their future careers. No one likes a liar. Leftwing liars who essentially walk Donald Trump right into the White House will lose their Democrat Party jobs and media shows.

Be that as it may, White House campaign staffers claim to be freaking out.

Officials on President Biden's White House and campaign staffs say they're feeling rage, sadness, frustration and resolve over his debate performance and his team's response to it, more than a dozen White House and campaign aides told Axios.

Why it matters: Biden's performance at the debate has left many of his own aides worried about his mental fitness, and angry about what they see as a lack of candor from Biden's senior aides.

"Senior aides." "The inner circle."

They lied about Biden's mental fitness to people who... work in the White House and see Biden all the time.

They just found out about Biden's mental issues, guys. They're as shocked as anybody.

"It's the first topic of every conversation," one White House official said. "Senior leadership has given us nothing. To act like it's business as usual is delusional."

Another official put it more bluntly: "Everyone is freaking the f*** out."

"The uncertainty after Thursday is palpable and anxiety is only increasing," a third White House official told Axios.

"People are looking for leadership and direction that they were told to trust, and hoped was there, but aren't yet feeling in what is now clearly a defining moment for this presidency."

Driving the news: On Friday, the day after Biden's debate against former President Trump, many senior White House officials addressed the president's lackluster performance with staffers.

Many officials felt they only were being given talking points, with no real explanation of why Biden appeared unable to string sentences together or articulate a case for himself over Trump.

The lack of answers from senior aides has continued this week, leading to growing anger and resentment among many inside the Biden camp.

...

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said that "we have a lot of experience keeping -- and spreading -- the faith in moments where we're counted out by staying focused on delivering for the American people and building on the most successful record of any modern presidency."

LOL

Keep servin' that soup!

"The atmosphere now is that he's going to be the nominee, so put your head down. But there is also frustration that we aren't being given the materials to move the news cycle forward. He needs to be out there."

It gets worse: New reporting from the New York Times says that Biden wasn't starting his workday at 10am for the debates, but 11am.

And he needed an hour-long nap during the sessions.

BREAKING - YOUR REACTION: The New York Times reports that during debate preparation, President Biden couldn't start before 11 a.m. and required an afternoon nap each day.

"The preparations, which took place over six days, never started before 11 a.m. and Mr. Biden was given time for an afternoon nap each day, according to a person familiar with the process," @nytimes says.

OUT: Workin 10 to 4

IN: Workin 11 to 4, with a kindergarten naptime

The first House Democrat, Lloyd Doggett of Texas, has called for Biden to drop out.

"Too much is at stake to risk a Trump victory--too great a risk to assume that what could not be turned around in a year, what was not turned around in the debate, can be turned around now," the longtime Texas Democrat said in a statement.

"My decision to make these strong reservations public is not done lightly, nor does it in any way diminish my respect for all that President Biden has achieved," Doggett continued.
"I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw. I respectfully call on him to do so."

There's a growing chorus of public (not anonymous) calls for Biden to retire gracelessly.

Driving the news: Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) on Tuesday became the first sitting Democratic member of Congress to call for Biden to step down, as did former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Colorado congressional candidate Adam Frisch.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said in a local TV news interview on Monday that the Biden campaign should be "candid with us about his condition," while Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) said on CNN the campaign "needs to listen to us."

Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), in an interview with Semafor, chastised the campaign for its "dismissive attitude," alluding to a fundraising email last week that dismissed those with concerns as "bedwetters."

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on MSNBC that it was "legitimate" to ask of both Biden and Trump: "Is this an episode or a condition?'

The spin from Jeh Johnson: Don't worry, Democrats, it's the Deep State that's running things anyway.
