Jennifer Big ‘donors’ recently have been flocking to Trump. Thiel and Musk come immediately to mind.
Trump is attractive to them in part because of his promise of lower taxes for fat cats and corporations.
The big donor hold up of large pledges to the Biden campaign is quite distinct. These folks support what the Biden administration has accomplished and seek to support ‘Biden principles’ in government.
Their concern is that Biden is no longer in top form to be president of the United States for another four years and that his physical and mental weaknesses render him a likely loser in November.
They, like me, believe that a younger presidential team has a greater chance of obtaining a Democratic House and effectively countering Trump’s 2025 cult authoritarianism.
In a horse race, when an old mare has to be scratched, it is vexing immediately to identify a replacement. That’s where we are—-so get ready to put on your race paraphernalia and urge our choice to the finish line.
Keith, I always find your comments informative and well thought out. Respectfully, I disagree with you on this one, and I think this clip explains the whys better than I can.
Miselle I also find your comments informative. I would delight to find that President Biden has his full facilities to wage a vigorous presidential campaign, win against Trump on November 5th, and then commence serving a second term.
HOWEVER, this is not how I assess the evidence. I believe that we have been gaslighted by a White House cover up regarding President Biden’s physical and mental condition in 2024. In retrospect, the WSJ article on this in early June was accurate.
I have tremendous admiration for President Biden. At 90 I have been obliged to accept that physically I am sharply limited in what I can do for an extended period. (I like to believe that I am still mentally sharp).
My long-term memory seems excellent. (I recently completed 43 stories for Storyworth on aspects of my life). My short-term memory is dreadful. I can’t remember what I did yesterday and with whom I spoke. Also, my inability to recall names of current friends is distressing.
Compared to present-day Biden, Trump, and what he represents, is a disaster for the United States. HOWEVER, the ‘age factor’, as applied to Biden, could result in a near landslide for Trump and his sycophants in November.
This would not be a contest on issues. Trump would simply have to show videos of the June 27th debate and similar incidents.
In my view, the Democrats have a potentially winning campaign based on the democratic soul of America vs. Trump cult authoritarianism. I believe that a younger presidential team has a much greater chance of blunting Trumpism and, at a minimum, getting a Democratic House in November.
I acknowledge, at this moment, that this is a difficult time for those who support what the Biden administration has accomplished and what Project 2025 portends.
I continue to respect your opinions and hope that you do likewise with mine.
JD I only referred to the WSJ article AFTER its reporting was revealed accurate from multiple sources. The only Murdoch that I consider reasonable credible is the British mystery MURDOCH MURDERS, and that is only so so.
Thought Murdoch Mysteries was Canadian. God forbids I watch anything that has had Rupert’s paws on it. I remember being so distressed when he bought WSJ, so many chips in the fabric of our society.
Keith, anyone over 80 will experience mild lapses in memory. However, we are judging Biden without pointing out an important distinction. Are we electing a campaign manager or a President? He is very well qualified to govern. He is not the best campaigner, although, I must point out he is doing an outstanding job campaigning when he has an audience to motivate him. That debate was not good, but are we going to throw away all the times he's been outstanding? The polls are refuted by Simon Rosenberg and 538. I believe these polls are much more accurate than the gossip rag, that Robert Hubbell likes to refer to the NYT. Hopefully, the voters will see the difference. The polls say this is a very competitive race. Biden's debate did not change that, but the coverage and comments by democratic leadership can change that. We need to support the hundreds of thousands of workers in the field and not demoralize them. We must unite behind Biden, who has the best chance of winning.
Eadie The current Democratic situation is unprecedented in American political history. You believe that Biden has the best chance of winning in November. I do not.
We are both rational individuals. Were the 74,000,000 who voted for Trump in 2020 rational? It’s a horse race where one rider may not yet have been selected. What’s at stake is the soul of America.
Keith, I'd like to offer a slight correction. 74 million voted for Biden. 70 million voted for tRump. tRump received that many votes because there was wholesale treason going on, IMO. The Russians were in on the fix in 2016 and 2020. Hopefully, democrats will not accept the results of the upcoming election, if there is proof of fraud. Mueller and Barr warned us.
I do, Keith. And it is precisely because your comments are well thought out and articulated that I get offended with people who display ageism. It's also because of your lifelong experiences and knowledge base that I value your opinions.
I think Trump "messed up" our foreign policies so badly that I am struggling to find someone who brings Biden's experience to the table. Not just political relationships between two countries, but looking far ahead about how globally we will address climate change together. (ok, perhaps not that far).
From what I've read so far, those who might be up to the job don't appear to want the job. If we have an open convention, I'm not seeing a Lincoln emerge from it.
BTW, before the primaries in 2020, Buttigieg was my top choice, but I realized that much of America would not vote for a gay man.

Be careful about saying that Rupert’s WSJ is accurate on anything. Rupert may be older than you are, but his evil has not lessened one iota.

Any replacement will cause chaos, and if Kamala is not the choice, we will lose the black vote as we should!
