”It’s painful to say that, given my admiration for much of what they have accomplished.”

I would like to see a list of the accomplishments they admire.

But if he and Harris campaign together in 2024, I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement — which was stopping Trump.

It's clear that the Dems recognize that Trump will win large if Biden is their nominee, clearly by more than the typical margin of Dem fraud. That means, Biden is done. The interesting part is guessing who their nominee will be. I keep thinking Whitmer, her record of tyranny is little known outside of her home state and they could market her as the first woman president which can help deflect from the ruinous horrible Biden record.

So David Ignatius doesn’t want Joe Biden to run again, even after acknowledging the president’s many accomplishments.

Mr. Ignatius must be one of those lying dog-faced pony soldiers I’ve been hearing about.

This is a David Ignatius editorial which means it is the view of the Washington Post and the CIA leadership. He gave Joe/Ho team all sorts of praise, but I think the mental decline and the corruption details gaining more attention caused them to throw the flag.

If Joe Biden has lost the Washington Post, then the signal is out to remove or extract Biden with all deliberate haste.

Damn the consequences, what is the worst that could happen? If “Que mala” Harris becomes Acting President, that just substitutes one meat puppet for another. The same “gray eminences” will be pulling the strings from the shadows.

Every word in the article is a lie except “a” and “the”.

The article talks about how time grows short, as far as other candidates being able to run in Democrat primaries, with Biden still planning to run for reelection.

It’s still almost a year to the Democrat convention.

Suppose Joe keeps saying he’s running for reelection, thus freezing out other Democrats in the primary process. But then before the convention, he announces he’s not running for reelection. Then all pledged convention delegates for Biden become free agents. The convention would then have to choose someone who was not a candidate in the primaries.

It could be a wild convention if that happened.

In case Joe and Jill hadn’t got the message?

The polls are always red hot controversies here but even allowing me to speculate on the possibility of some being close to honest——
average of national polls show Trump only 1.8% ahead of Biden as of Sept.8. (270toWin site).

That would mean MANY Americans say the totally incompetent pedo Joe is just fine with them for re-election.

That is disgraceful. I despise the American people.

Well, keep in mind this writer is a liberal apologist. His audience is not people like us. His audience are the liberals who read the Washington Post.

Biden took the soul of the nation and sold it to Satan.

So who will it be? Governor Hair Gel and Buttplug? Or maybe Fetterman and Hank Johnson.

they need him as placeholder til the convention where superdelegates will appoint his successor.

Yep, that's exactly how they will do it. It's brilliant, it will help deflect the focus of the race on Biden's dementia, old age and ruinous track record and trail of disaster.

If she was she’d win...in a landslide. That’s how depraved this country has become.

The problem is Kamala. She’s the next Dimwit up in her mind, after all she was part of a national ticket that got 81 million votes.

The liberal view is that Biden has been a good president.

remember that this writer is a liberal apologist, and people like us are not his audience. His audience are the liberals who read the Washington Post.

His only achievement (from his perspective) was stopping Trump. And if he was likely to be able to do it again in 2024, Ignatius would be all in with Biden.

This is the admission that he doesn't think he would be able to beat Trump again. Therefore he has passed his expiration date.

“...the mouthpiece for the CIA establishment.”

This is a message from them to Joe.

It is intriguing , that messages for Joe to step aside, are being planted in the liberal media outlets such as the Washington Post.
