17. "the fantasy election continues"

Thu Jul 18, 2024, 02:52 PM

Jul 2024

...Joe Biden has many more delegates than he needs to win the nomination on the first round at the convention.

That compares to a few detractors with their hands full of shit they're flinging around like that's a campaign or something.

There may well be headway made among the folks participating in the media fantasy election game in the media.

But no other Democrat is going to carry enough delegates into that convention to beat Joe Biden. Their only hope is for the him to agree to voluntarily become a lame duck in this race and in his presidency.

Are they high?
