“You don’t want to be that guy who is on the record saying we’re doomed, or the campaign’s bad or Biden’s making mistakes.
Nobody wants to be that guy,” said a Democratic operative in close touch with the White House and granted anonymity to speak freely.
But Biden’s stubbornly poor polling and the stakes of the election “are creating the freakout,” he said.
“This isn’t, ‘Oh my God, Mitt Romney might become president.’ It’s ‘Oh my God, the democracy might end.’”
Despite everything, Trump is running ahead of Biden in most battleground states.
He raised far more money in April, and the landscape may only become worse for Democrats, with Trump’s hush-money trial concluding and another — this one involving the president’s son — set to begin in Delaware.
“Donors ask me on an hourly basis about what I think,” the adviser said, calling it “so much easier to show them, so while they read it, I can pour a drink.”
The adviser added, “The list of why we ‘could’ win is so small I don’t even need to keep the list on my phone.”

As someone who has experience with dementia and seeing JB rapid decline it’s hard to believe they are willing to play this out. They can only hide him for so long. There is no cure, honestly I’m shocked he’s still in play.

I'm torn on the Biden freakout by Dems. . . 50/50 they keep him. Let's see how June 27 debate goes. If total disaster for Biden, I think Dems pull the ripcord and go, We can't do this.

Its not about losing the presidency.
Its about losing our democracy.
I would think you might also care about that.

Democrats are sleepwalking into a loss, it's not going to work if you keep shouting the economy and the stock market is doing great when people can afford less than they did 5 years ago even though their paycheck keeps getting bigger. It doesn't matter if the problem is worldwide, if you try to brazenly gaslight the electorate it's going to backfire. Also maybe stop having the same position as the Republicans when it comes to Israel??? Just a thought.
No doubt about it... The dude shts himself.
