New in PJ Media:
Well, this is disappointing news. The Washington Post reported Thursday that “the national Democratic Party has said it will support Biden’s reelection, and it has no plans to sponsor primary debates.” It’s understandable: the Dems have a president, of sorts, and so they’re counting on the power of incumbency to help their superannuated kleptocrat get over the top again. However, it’s also immensely disappointing, because after years and years of Democratic presidential debates being dreary displays of candidates trying to out-socialist one another, 2024 Democratic primary debates would have actually had something to offer.
Biden has two challengers, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson. When Kennedy announced his candidacy on Wednesday, USA Today reported that RFK immediately had the “support of 14% of voters who backed President Joe Biden in 2020,” according to a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll. Williamson had 5%, and another 13% were undecided. USA Today noted that “that is surprising strength for a candidate who has a famous political name but is now known mostly as the champion of a debunked conspiracy theory blaming childhood vaccines for autism.”
USA Today’s confident use of the word “debunked,” however, can’t mask a growing suspicion among an increasing number of Americans that the authorities aren’t being honest with us. The COVID vaccine debacle, with what was originally touted as a single shot that would protect you from a deadly disease becoming multiple shots and boosters that carried side effects that were often worse than COVID itself, only fueled that suspicion. So the establishment media’s confidence that voters will dismiss Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because they dislike this vaccine skepticism may be whistling in the dark.
Kennedy also said something extremely interesting in his announcement that he was running: “My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and throughout my presidency, will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now – threatening now – to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country.” Well, yes, and no one else is talking with this kind of clarity and consistency about the kind of collusion that we saw in the Twitter Files between the massive corporations and the government. Not even Donald Trump.
It’s thus entirely within the realm of possibility that RFK’s initial 14% could increase considerably with some national exposure. Some have even touted him as the new post-Trump populist, but he is unlikely to appeal to many non-Leftists, as he still embraces the climate change hoax and much more of the Left’s agenda. Still, he poses an articulate, informed alternative to stumbling, bumbling, fumbling Old Joe. Kennedy-Biden debates would be a wonder to behold, just to see RFK eviscerate the senescent corruptocrat and expose his mendacious posturing.
There is more. Read the rest here.

There are factors that might change the DNC expectation.
The laptop story may implicate the “Big Guy” so completely that Biden cannot run.
The lying about the progress of the Russia-Ukraine war is a wild card for the Biden Regime. If the US doesn’t enter as a direct combatant, Ukraine will lose by this fall or the spring of 2024 and be forced to give up Russian-speaking Donbass and Crimea in formal negotiations. If the US enters the war to save face, the 2024 election might be postponed, or, if it goes beyond control, be impossible to hold due to the devastation of critical infrastructure.
The US has never been at war with a nation which can reach the US homeland in minutes with munitions that will render it dysfunctional. And never have the Neo-cons and Leftists been more aligned for war and delusional about the results.
The Biden admin appears incompetent. Let’s hope we don’t suffer the experience of former POTUS Obama who said: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f— things up.”

It must be that eating ice cream is the only thing that Biden does really know how to do well.
For the villainy of this pseudo -“president” Biden has no limits. For example in his “no secure US/Mexican border policy .Likewise that despicable fiend, creepy old Joe, is determined to make the United States depended dependent of foreign oil.
Likewise Biden is an economic disaster and calamity for the United States..
As the ancient Greek philosopher, Plato wrote, “The penalty for refusing to take part in politics is to be ruled men inferior to yourself.”
Walter Sieruk says
That villain and impostor “president” Joe Biden is harming the United States on many different ways. One of which is ruining the US economy and is continuing to do so.
Biden has also destroyed the US/Mexican border wall and security system.
This had to be deliberate which means that Biden is sinister subversive treasonous fiend.
That also applies to the other in power “behind the curtains” who use that their puppet “president” as the stooge and tool to achieve their insidious Red /Green agenda.
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato also wrote, “The price good man pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
Joe Biden is so terrible that he most probably is worse than Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter combined is a strong reminder of the two statements of wisdom by the ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, in which he had written “One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up be ruled by your inferiors.”
Likewise, the ancient Greek philosopher Plato also wrote, “The price good man pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”

A genuine debate which featured the demented clown, Joe Biden, would be so embarrassing and cringe worthy that there is no way they could let it happen. It would certainly provide some laughs as Biden tried to figure out where the hell he was and what issue they were debating. When are they going to move this decrepit fool on to retirement?
Westman says
That must be the point of no DNC primary debates. It’s as if the ventrilquists of a dummy cannot bear to leave the stage after a terrible performance. They know it was a flop but without the dummy they have no future show.
tim gallagher says
That must be it, Westman. Surely though, all people from the Democrats must want to move Biden on. The idea of this doddering old fool running again must alarm everyone. As you say, Biden’s handlers, his ventriloquists, probably do want to hold on their jobs of telling Biden what he has to try to say. We have some dopey politicians here in Australia, but I look at some of Biden’s idiotic performances and I am stunned at the mental state he seems to be in.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, imagine Biden having to debate anyone, including Robert Kennedy Jr! They’ll wipe the floor w/ him
Trump too should decline any debates that are hosted by the likes of CNN, NBCs, ABC, CBS, Fox and so on. Don’t want a rerun of Chris Wallace or Savannah Guthrie or any of @$$wipes
tgusa says
The funny thing is idiot democrats think we all watch Fox News. We hear the left constantly spewing Fox News, Fox News, Fox News. Geez, give it a rest leftists. About 2 and a half million people watch Fox News. MSLSD gets just under 1 and a half million viewers. In a country of nearly 350 million people 4 million viewers cannot really be called mainstream media. And I agree, decline any debates hosted by the rusty car media.
